Mini Marathon building continues - Post Office Cottage

 Post Office Cottage is another of the houses in the mini marathon.  It took me a while to decide what to do with this one but in the end I thought that I'd make a tiny post office in the right side of the ground floor, put in a dividing wall with an entrance to the left side, and make a small bathroom on the first floor.

So here is a view of the front.   I've done it quite different to the way Bea did hers I think, but I'm really happy with it.

This view shows the paving from the door around to the telephone box.

I have been working on the inside a bit too, making a couple of counters for the post office and a letter rack, but I'll show them later on when I've stained them again ready to put in place.

I didn't do any garden for this one because I had planned to put a garden bench under the smaller window at the front so that my mini people could have a chat with friends and neighbours when they came to the post office, but the area turned out too small so I have to have another think about that ;)

  2. Thank you Vicki. I lightened sage green paint for the green trim. It's one of my favourite greens and I often use it in various strengths.
