Just got through building this for my Mother. I call it the "Princess Putz" cottage. Her birthday is next month. It was a fun build! Enjoy...

Will, That is so cute. What did you make the base out of - rather, what did you coat the base with to get that texture? I really love the balcony and the little window boxes and the colors. Are you sure you mom doesn't read this forum? Lucy |

I like the snow effect. What did you use for that? The base looks think. Multi layers of corrugated? Steve |

So darling! I too love the window boxes, but my favorite part is the chimney. The code enforcers would give you a big A+ because it is at least 2' taller than the roof ridge. I also love the colors and the gold window trim. Your mom will love it! |

Just too sweet... How did you get the texture on the roof and what did you use for the chimney inserts? Love the colors... Debbie |

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. The textured "snow" is my own coconut brand that took me quite a while to figure out! It finally came out sparkling white-- just the way I like it. I also made my own version of a "snow-tex" product that I had been working on for over a year. All of the colors that you see is my own recipe for a texturing product I created throughout the year as well. Hmmm, I have a harebrained idea-- Do any of you think I have "marketable" products here? LOL.. The stand for the house is just a small recycled box from a card game I bought years ago Steve. Yes Howard, those are flower boxes! I just fashioned my own chimney Deb. I used some chopstick pieces for the smoke stack part of it. The golden foil was some German-made scraps I had laying around Kathi. I finally got to use them for something! I even tried my hand at my own version of a raffia fence.That was fun.. Again, a BIG thanks for your comments everyone...

Actually, I hadn't noticed, but that's a very nice fence, too.
