Wee Obsession Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hi Margarita! Last night I painted the upstairs ceiling and did a papered ceiling on the first floor. Decided Not to put in the stairway. So we will have to use the imaginary one. At first I was goin to have it run against the left wall....now I decided to nix it all together! Moving right along......... :lol2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving right along......... :lol2: I can't wait to see how it turns out! here's a photo with my roof on. It fit pretty well except that last front panel, the bottom corner pokes out to much, but i have a plan to improve that. I tried and tried to get that panel to fit better, but no luck. The rest of the roof fits great tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovecats Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 Thanks Tracy! I put the final coat of paint on it today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 The interior painting is complete and so is the wallpaper! I have been cutting flooring (craft sticks) and wainscoting (skinny sticks) and needed a break. I don't think this house will be cassie's country collectables (named after my sassy cat cassie)...i had a feeling the wallpaper would be to pretty and it is...this house will have to be a boutique or wedding shop. I'll post pictures this evening. It's turning out nicely tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 The cottage is finished! I loaded some piccies into my webshots album, i'll try to get some pictures into the gallery after lunch. Silly me, I forgot to put the steps in front of the cottage for pictures. How rude of me, the poor steps would have wanted to be in the photos i'm sure. At any rate, they are antique maroon just as the trimwork is. I just don't want to pull out the camera again today. It's quite a process to download and upload the pictures. I completed the house today (shingles) and I am very excited. The roof was a bugger to shingle!!!!! I finally took off the little peak that goes above the doorway, it just didn't fit right and was on a slant which made shingling kinda frustrating. Looks TONS better without it! The cottage is finally complete! I just need to put some cafe style curtains in it and decorate. This is definately Cassie's country collectables...and antiques... I just need to find my sign and get it done up! I'm pleased with the way this cottage has turned out, I LOVE it! No false modesty here, to see it in person, it looks better than the photos. I did not have specific plans for the decor, one thing just followed the other. I love how the cottage told me it wanted to look! The exterior is not pink as the pictures will show...but i'm just not a photographer! Sorry about the wonky angles in the photos....not sure why i got the photos that way :hide: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathieB Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Marg and Donna, your little cottages are lovely! Marg, I especially like the little details, like the shelving high on the wall on the ground floor. And the little attic cubby is just too cute! Nice work, ladies!

Bonsaikathy Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I put the foundation together! I still can't decide on bakery or shop of some kind! If i go with a shop, i'm not sure of a wedding shop or like a collectable shop with country decor like birdhouses, quilts, etc.... Hmmmm not sure yet. Haven't thought up a color for the house either! I think i'll put the shell mostly together first then decide! This is gonna be a fun house, it is milled mdf and has some pretty trimwork! I had to laugh when I read this. Bec can tell you that when I put together the general store kit to use for my wizard shop recently, I changed my mind a 100 times as to just what I wanted to do with it and decorate it.
