WIP Haunted House...

First I would like to Welcome all the new followers to my blog, Thank you for your kind comments, support, suggestions and friendship ~
Floor of drawing room ~

Sorry I have been away from my blog for so long. I haven't had much to show on my house. I did get the flooring in the small room and the drawing room. Thank you Michelle for the suggestion to use cracker boxes for flooring, I cut small squares to floor the drawing room. I had enough egg carton for the small room so I did small stones there. I have most of the trim on the base boards and have been grunging up the walls a bit.

The dirty copper roof ~

The kitchen ~
I shingled the roof and am adding lots of trim. I would like to thank Susan for your kind offer of the shingles. I don't know if I am finished painting on the shingles, it is supposed to look like old dirty copper.

The roof top is going to have a special garden so I haven't attached the trim yet.

Tomorrow I will  post the name of my haunted house.

Victoria ♥
Small room flooring ~

    I just love it! The floors and the roof are the best, even if the roof isn't finished! They look like the real thing and I'm most impressed. The whole house has so much atmosphere.

    I hope to start some staining/ageing of my floorboards over the weekend and do Dumblerdore's stone look fireplace.

    This is a superb house! :o)))

    WOW! Great looking floors...and the mansard turned out really nice. I hope there were enough shingles.... I like he copper look; you might want to dry brush with some Wedgewood green to make the copper look more oxidized.

    Eager to hear the name you chose.
