I've been rearranging the furniture in the cottage, trying out other pieces. I haven't glued the front on yet, I really want to hinge it but just can't work out how. The front is rebated to fit the sides and I can't get a hinge to fit. So, in the meantime, the front is lose and tends to fall flat a lot if nudged...
However, I am really pleased with the brick effect. I ended up using acrylic paints to touch up some of the bricks so that they were a little less regular. I've noticed real brick houses are uneven in colour and so I think it looks better now. (The photo makes it all look a lot more yellow than it really is- I cannot get better lighting for photos at the moment, it is so rainy and gloomy we have the electric light on all the time and it makes for awful photo colouring.)
I have changed the cupboards around , I want to put some jars on the shelves and they fit better on these ones, though I think they are not quite so impressive to look at... Well that's the good thing about these houses, I can change the furniture as I please.
Until next time
Gillian
