Storybook is getting pretty

Today has been busy!
Storybook got some pretties added to her front today.
Windows were installed, well...most of them. 
 Made two window boxes...more to go...and filled them with some lovely white flowers, moss and greens.


I have a motto..... "Excellence is in the details".... Well, there are a lot more of those darn details to go. 

 Tired just thinking about them. 

Oh, I stained the front door too.  Needs a knob... can I pull off a bead? 

Or what?  








You can see the window on the right still needs it's window box and pretties.
Okay...so does the window on the left too.   
More work....whew!


I'm really happy with the flooring.... the stain turned out just right. 
Lots of those little sticks, huh? 
Cut, glue, stick.... cut, glue, stick... cut, glue stick...you get the idea.  

This little charmer is coming together... don't ya think?


I'm thinking I might work on the inside tomorrow...
we'll see.

Inside....Outside.... ??????

    1. Hi Simon,
      It's coming along better than I anticipated. I'm happy. I hope to get some more pictures out tonight of what "little' things I've done.
      Have a good one.

  2. It looks really nice with the flowers on and love the moss on the bottom. The colour's go well together and the flooring is really nice. Inside/outside - maybe a bit of both!

      Thanks for stopping by for a visit and perusing the cottage. It's starting to take on some kind of "look", isn't it? I think the more I add the better it's looking. Wonder what today will bring?
      Have a funfilled mini kinda day.

    1. Morning... Thanks for the sweet comment. Hopefully this evening I'll post more pictures...more window boxes... and a BUNCH more color. I'd say green is making it come alive.
      Have a great day.

  8. It's really coming together quickly. You found little greenery to put in your window box! The roof line is just so perfectly cottage. Love!

    1. Morning Caroline.
      Oh, I don't know how quickly it's happening...but, it's taking on it's own personality. Funny how you imagine something will look and then it goes crazy in all different directions. It is making me happy....gotta say that. When you spend hours and hours on a project, guess it's always good when it turns out sweet. I've sure learned what TOO do and what NOT TOO do. lol Michaels came thru with the greenery... I'm pretty happy with it. Wonder what I'll create today? My mind is whirling... my "littles" make me so happy. Details, details, details.
      Found a couple things to add at a street faire this weekend...hope they work!!!! She says with fingers crossed.
      Have a wonderful mini kinda day.
