Mini marathon progress - Privet House

I've realized that I haven't given you an update on the mini marathon for a while.  I now have several cottages completed so today I will show you Privet House.  As always this house is just sooooo much nicer in reality than it is in photos, and I was delighted with it as it took shape.  The colours in the photos are a bit off, the green is more of a hunter green and the distressing on the house isn't as obvious as it looks in the pictures.

 Here is a front view.  Looks a bit stark at the moment - I haven't decided what to do about that.   A vine?  A tree nearby?  Flowers?

And one from the right
I put stairs into the house, just on the ground floor for now, and will later put them on the first floor too.  They are the 'Cottage Stairs' kit from Petite Properties.

I made a faux cupboard under the stairs.  I think now that it probably could have had a straight top but I built it to follow the line of the stairs.

I googled for some 1930's wallpaper and linoleum and liked this green and cream one for the kitchen.  It goes really well with the green and cream of the house.  As you can see, I haven't put the lights in yet so haven't glued the upper story floorboards in.
Privet House has an attic too but I'm not sure whether I will use it as rooms or whether to just put the wiring and battery up there.

So that's the second of the mini marathon houses.  What do you think?
