Greetings to all…

It's almost April...and time for a new project...this is my version of the vintage design that we’ve probably all seen…and I’m sure there are forum followers who have similar houses in their collection…

Mine is smaller in size and not finished with coconut like the original…I used birdcage gravel with final coats of metallic craft paint…plus glitter on the base, roof tops and a few random areas on the raffia fence…

There is nothing about building the house that hasn’t been covered in detail in other forum topics…so I won’t be posting any work-in-progress pictures…

The two sheets of patterns are in the PDF’s below the picture…

Howard…

This is a great house, really nicely done!!

This is an exquisite piece of jewelry, Howard. Yes, some of us have this house, but ... didn't you add windows? Good idea!

Antoinette...the inspiration for this house was on the 1st Dibbs website...it's one of the houses in the boxed set that has an astronomical asking price...I did flip the front bump out and doghouse...but the windows are basically the same...since the image is under copyright, I can't post it...

Howard...

Another terrific project, Howard, this with a few lessons in alternative paint/texture techniques. I never cease to learn from your posts, mate...thanks!
