The space between the steps and the planters...I think I just need to get another little piece of wood in there with some weeds maybe.

Don't forget to age the planter beds just as you have aged the flower box for the balcony. <br />LOVE the way your roof looks, the rust, the downspouts, the meters not to mention all of those wild and Crazy Vines on the side of the house which reminds me of what I saw when I last visited New Orleans- Very Authentic! <br />One final thought regarding infilling that gap adjacent to the front steps and the long planter-it looks like it needs something there to close it up.<br />I am really enjoying this build of yours and can't believe how much you have done.... WOW!<br /><br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927995920080917290.post-64815559113587628072016-10-26T15:40:32.987-05:002016-10-26T15:40:32.987-05:00Thank you!

So we're working on alternative protection. I used my Big voice and grabbed her by the scruff and told her Daddy on her. Then she pouted for hours afterwards.<br /><br />I agree with you guys. No piping on the sofa.<br /><br />I also agree about the bushes. With the flowerbeds being overgrown and weedy the manicured bushes are out of place. So I'm gluing on bits of greenery to make them look a touch unkempt. <br /><br />Thank you thank you! It's been a nice six days of fun and work and now I feel like I've actually made some good progress.

I should just employ bullet points! :O)<br />The first thing that comes to mind is how frustrated you must be to see your hard work undone by your beloved babies. Just now, I took a hair clip, partly destroyed, from Woodson's grasp. If he wasn't so adorable and guilty looking I could be mad, but he is and I am not. What to do? Maybe bars across the doorway with a sign reading "Mommy's Room - no furbabies allowed!!!". No, that does not work at my house either... Hopefully the cage from wonderfully supportive hubs will work!<br />I like the sofa as is with no piping!<br />The steps, roof, moss and rust look awesome! Everything is just so much fun to look at!<br />I do have one suggestion about the garden... Some of the bushes look pretty manicured. Maybe a coat of glue and clump foliage in spots might keep the impression of an overwhelmed owner who hasn't kept up on the gardening?<br />I have to say it again, Sheila! You have done such a great job with every tiny detail on this build, and I love it! I look forward to every new progress post, and will soon go back through every post from the beginning just to relive the fun!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927995920080917290.post-7561928764676936002016-10-26T08:16:25.913-05:002016-10-26T08:16:25.913-05:00Thank you!

Bravo! <br /><br />Maybe use cayenne pepper instead of cinnamon. One kitty sniff, and there will be a dollhouse phobia. Just joking! <br /><br />I like the couch as is! I am pipping phobic. I've had some bad experiences that resulted in reupholstering because the glue wouldn't come off. kittyandkatminiatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793964941113725631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927995920080917290.post-82264232954358573712016-10-25T21:13:50.939-05:002016-10-25T21:13:50.939-05:00Thank you!
