GARDEN COTTAGE : Let's take a tour of the finished project

Hi guys

I've been quite busy over the last few months, unfortunately not only with my miniatures, but I always try to find time to work on them

I have finished my Garden Cottage, I've already posted lots of pics about it, but here's the finished version ... since it's a birthday gift for my good friend Evelyne, it's gonna leave the house on April 14th, which is very very soon, so I thought I'd make some more pics

I didn't want to bore you with adding text to each pic, thought maybe you just wanted to browse through them and enjoy finding as much details as possible

Front View

Flowers I made, Pots I painted

Lavender made with Flower Soft, Roses made with Paper

Table is ready, let's have a glass of wine or a cup of coffee

I always add a few personal details to the furniture once I've finished painting

One side of the garden and the flowers I made, some from a kit, 

others with dried flowers and flower soft

Since my friend Evelyne loves to spend time outside in the garden, I thought this little flower paradise is just perfect for her

The palm tree was made from a kit

I made these little bird houses 

Oh, a visitor

More flowers I made .... also tried to make a watering can

For someone who loves flowers and gardening, t

his is just the right spot to spend time outside the house

A few closeup pictures

I worked really hard on these flowers to make them look as good as possible

Another view of the entire project

The side door, welcoming guests of course

I made this little welcome sign myself

A fern in an old water fountaine

I made the basket, then the flowers

Cute little details all ov

I also made this beaded curtain, to keep out flying insects 😺😺

The back door with nice flower boxes, filled with geraniums

Now that I look at the finished project, I'm pretty sure Evelyne will love this present

More flowers I made (these were made from a kit)

A closer view

My geraniums

I also made the curtains

.... and the sofa, as well as the round stool

I added a few pillows and a magazine

After I finished painting this table, I added some lace and flower decals and

decorated it with lots of my DIY items

She loves cats, has 3 of them, so I really needed to add some to this projects

Their pillow is made from the same fabric I used for the curtains

A nicely filled wall shelf

I love that shabby chic look with lots of rose patterns

so I made these to hang over the door

I especially love this little corner, with this red and pink table

I added pieces of paper with a rose pattern, made a shopping bag, with one of the baguettes

I made for my bakery, I also made the 2 jugs, the bottle and the little pot on top, as well as

the 2 boxes on the floor

The carpet has been printed on special fabric paper.

This little chest was perfect to be used as a bar with all the bottles inside

I made the houseplant (from a kit) and another shopping bag, to which I added a few new tablecloths

I tried to give this furniture an aged look by using the crackeling technique, then I added my lovely DIY items and it looks just perfect

The china was purchases of course, but I made the bowls on top

Oh hello there .... good morning to you

A birds-eye view of the interior, again very colorful

I made that little table in front of the sofa and used very very tiny square beads 

to make it look like a mosaic

just a few more pics

and a very personal detail : the picture on the wall shows Evelyne, my hubby and myself during a 

holiday in Italy we spent together

My watering can doesn't look bad, does it ?

Flowers, Flowers, Flowers

A little parasol to give some shade

I really hope you liked the tour of my little garden cottage, it's a lovely projects and I surely enjoyed working on it. I even loved it so much that I bought the same kit twice, but up until now, I don't know what the second one will be

Stay tuned, there's more to come

See ya
