The summer lilac looks already stunning!<br /><br />And your kit bashing process is so fascinating to follow - I am a bit jealous because this is totally out of my means. The changes you're making will offer you so much more opportunities. The bay window will become a true highlight... and the doors look great in their oak look. So sad the paint was not as supportive as it should be but I guess you'll fix that… if nothing else helps hang a Christmas wreath over it! *teehee* <br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-28739238892111516822019-07-20T05:20:00.126-04:002019-07-20T05:20:00.126-04:00Gosh, you don't make it easy for yourself, do ...Gosh, you don't make it easy for yourself, do you?

The number of all of the above that you need to make would seem daunting and discouraging to someone else, but I'm sure that you'll continue as you began - branch by branch by branch - until you create a perfect shrub. You've also made a nice start on transforming the Sugarplum Cottage. This is such an interesting project; it's going to be fun to watch the process!<br />MarjorieMarjorie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104669798186181705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-12110354210347452002019-07-18T01:10:37.669-04:002019-07-18T01:10:37.669-04:00I LOVE kitbashing and so I'm not in the least ...I LOVE kitbashing and so I'm not in the least surprised to see that you are already doing Big Changes to the Sugarplum Cottage. <br />And your Summer Lilac is really moving along as well -<br />so I'll just Leaf it to you!elizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-23870198742604997012019-07-17T07:18:53.916-04:002019-07-17T07:18:53.916-04:00It take a lot of courage to make changes in an ori...It take a lot of courage to make changes in an original house kit.

Each task on the lilac shrub is so labor intensive, and though you're an expert now, it's still a marvelous achievement! I'm still just blown away at the texture and color on the branches! Outstanding!<br />The progress on the Sugarplum is no less impressive! You've practically adjusted every board of the original kit, and added a whole other structure beneath it! I love how the front facade is shaping up, and having the taller ceiling height is going to make it so much nicer a view inside.<br />Though you still have a good amount of work in front of you, it's the doing that is the rewarding part. Having a second project to keep your hands busy while paint and glue dry will make all of it so much more interesting!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-92091276298621381922019-07-16T09:35:40.159-04:002019-07-16T09:35:40.159-04:00I wonder if you knew what you were getting into wh...I wonder if you knew what you were getting into when you planned that lilac bush.

And then a little black wash to age it.<br /><br />I have trouble with the same thing and layers of paint generally save my butt.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074992134112478195noreply@blogger.com
