French House part 5 - window and door frames

 

 

baby boutique

 

Today I start with the window and door frames of my French house.....I use 1mm cardboard (for free from my local diy shop - flower department..).......
and for the windows I use the plastic package of IKEA x-mas ornaments.....the plastic is very strong..

I have also cardboard window and door frames in my baby boutique (photo 1).

Have a great day

Circus giraffe and dogs

 

I have done some new toys for my shop. A giraffe and circus dogs with a trainer and a clown.
I really love all the vintage circus images. Now I have an elephant, a zebra, a camel.........

Have a great day

Windows, Building material and a big blogspot problem

Here are some photos of my windows (before & after). I hope to finish my paint job in 1-2 days. The window box with geraniums is for my Dutch canel house...

 Today I spent € 2,20 for "building" materials. 2 x woooden earnings (perfect wheels) for 50 cent/each, camee earings for 1 € and some broken x-mas ornaments for 20 cent (not all of them are damaged) for ceiling roses or for an iron fence/balcony.

 Now I use the new blogspot design and I have a lot of problems! I use the enter key but blogspot write everything without a blankline!! I have no idea what I can do now...the whole post looks terrible..sorry. Any ideas what I can do???

 Have a great weekend - Sonja

French house - part 3 facade 1

Here are the first photos of the facade. It was not so easy to find the right colour scheme. I used cinnamon, white and a light blue (DIY paint tester
2 Euros/each). I was afraid to plaster the facade. The house has
a plywood facade and it looks not so "stable".

On the 2. photo you can see one of the sidewalls after I used my "dark oak wax stain". I think it looks a little bit like plaster. I will wax the whole house later.

Have a great day,
Sonja
