The Witches Cottage is finished






The Witches Cottage is finished! :) All ready to be packed up and posted, but before we do that, I thought it would be nice to share all the pics of it, that I took this morning. 

Due to my recent ill health, I have not had alot of input on this cottage, hence to say, all I really did was paint and age the exterior walls and do a little wood staining, so hubby has to take the credit for this one...bah humbug LOL I think it's turned out great and any witch would be proud to call this little cottage 'Home' !



I'm struggling a bit with getting the lighting right today, so imagine the walls a little darker than the photo shows...

Upstairs...



Hubby's beloved 'worn' floors that he spent far too many hours getting to look just rightly old and worn!!

The corner fireplace ready for a bundle of twigs and some glowing embers....
















All four rooms....
















and some of my favourite photos...

imagine these a little lighter, but they aren't far off the true wall colours...

my favourite room... the little downstairs room.. this would make a fab witches library room...





I love this room too, it's a nice size and I like the fireplace and alcove :)
















and that's it, all finished, onto the next project now :0)


A big welcome to my new followers, it's lovely to see you here and I hope you will enjoy my mini tales :0)

  3. Looks like you have both done a grand job as usual Julia. The corner fire place is an excellent idea that I might steal for my Cauldron Shop if that's ok.
    Hope you are feeling better today.

  12. It's wonderful Julia and has tons of character. I love the roof too. The little alcove shelves and fireplace are my favourite of all. I'd be thrilled with it.

    I thought perhaps you were unwell as I hadn't seen you about and I hope that you feel better now.

    Sorry I'm tardy with comments AGAIN!
