While deciding what to do with the French House, I thought that I would try my hand at making something a little smaller. I wanted to create something along the lines of Mercedes little Shabby House on her blog
http://www.libertybiberty.blogspot.com/The design is loosely based on the cutest little studio created by Sandy Foster - she turned a little Catskills hunting lodge into a shabby studio. When I first discovered Sandy's blog, I was more interested in creating a copy of her shelving unit and book case, which is fabulous - I was wondering if there was a way to incorporate it into my French House.......
Anyway, below are a few "work in prgress" photo's of the basic structure - mdf carcass, with some scrap balsa wood for the siding - I've kept everything a bit wonky deliberately, as I want the wee house to look as if it has been put together using what was available.
Right side of the house.
This is the back of the house, the windows are made from layers of 1mm card, and I used old CD covers for the glass.
Right side finished. I will need to strt on the left side, but I am defeated by the 3 sets of windows that I have to make!
Floor and back wall - the back of the house is a cupboard which will have some pretty pieces of china displayed - if I can ever find some! There will be a series of books shelves above.
