Brenb Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I wanted to make something low key, since I'm not susposed to be doing much, well I built this gazebo out of scraps and some thin scraft sticks. I don't like the color already, lol and I'm not sure of how I will decorate it. If it will be seasonal or just set in one scene. It is 13" tall and 12" round. I'm up for any suggestions?

uppitycats Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Wow, that is really nice! I better dig my scraps outta the burn barrel..I was just cleaning house and tossed away a bunch from my building efforts... but then, I don't have any artistic talents, I don't think....

KathieB Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Your gazebo is wonderful, Brenda. You can do so many things to decorate it ... what fun you'll have! but then, I don't have any artistic talents, I don't think.... I think the secret is NOT to think. Get an idea in your head and then make it happen ... leave the thinking part out altogether! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_in_PA Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Brenda , this is great. There are so many things you can do with it. I'll post pics of one that I did. Maybe that will give you some ideas. Keep up the great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollshousegirl Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 wow that is great, I'll have to have a look at my scraps now, you could decorate it with xmas trims and carol singers at christmas, easter display at easter, summer flowers for the summer. you'll have so much fun with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah handley Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hi Brenda, Hope you're feeling better. I agree with everyone----- You did a great job of engineering that gazebo. It's beautiful! Sooo nice. It's a winner with any type of decorations. Aren't you glad you kept scraps? UppityCats-- Go get those scraps out of the barrel. Of course you are talented, and artistic too. Just look at your Garfield. It is a wonderful house! Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blondie Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I saw that and though of a beach scene with a guitar guy strumming along, a cooler of drinks, and flip flops everywhere... So pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitsy Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 OOOOOHHHHHHHH, I love it!!!! I would add red and pink roses and vines and put lots of flowers all around it. Make it a love gazebo! Good job! How long did it take to make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJEP Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I love it Brenda!! I'm going to check out my scraps that I have been saving now. You could do a wedding scene. If it hadn't rained during our ceremony we were going to get married in a gazebo like that. (Of course it downpoured for the ceremony and then the sun came out for the rest of the day. Oh well the banquet hall had a beautiful entrance way to get married in as well.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippet-gal Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 It's really lovely - nice job, Brenda I'm with Bitsy, on the theme - loads of climbing roses & hanging plants. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 You could paint it all white with gold highlights dry-brushed here & there, or stain/ wash the shingles with a dark color and go for the old fashined bandstand-picnic-in-the-park thing, or make fat little cherubs holding lenghts of ribbon to go on the top of each post and festoon it with roses as some have mentioned. Let your imagination rip, honey! I don't have any artistic talents, I don't think As Kathie says, don't THINK; if you don't "think" you have artistic talent, you don't KNOW that you don't, so you probably do (it's the double-negative thing getting to me this early in the AM!). That's why it's called "trial & error"; you have to keep trying and correcting the errors and that's how you nurture your talents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaimieMarvon Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Its so lovely! You've done a wonderful job. I've always wanted a Gazebo, but the cost of the kit is too pricey for me. I see now that I can make it myself and it will look beautiful too. Unfortunately I've had to get rid of alot of my scraps with the move coming up. But there will alwasy be more!
