Yule Tide Christmas Shop


The first floor floorboards. This is going to be a bedroom. I may add a door on each floor.


I could have waited for the pre-cut roof tiles from Petite Properties, but if I stop now there's the danger that this little shop won't be finished for a while, so I decided to go ahead and use the paper, and the instructions, which came with the kit.  



I think they turned out better than I was expecting. I have to finish painting and distressing the chimney next, and sticking it to the roof, and then covering the roof with sand, and painting and distressing the roof.




Progress ... and not a lot more left to do. 

The wonky tile strips from Petite Properties are available again, so I ordered some for Winterberry Hall - I don't fancy cutting all those strips, and especially cutting the edges on random tiles to distress them ... Since I was ordering the tiles I thought I'd buy some furniture kits for the Yule Tide shop. I was thinking of having a workshop on the first floor, but I'm going for a bedroom instead! I've got lots of ideas of things to make to "sell" in the shop, but I'm not sure how much is going to work at this tiny scale.

I noticed a scratch on the front window "glass", but luckily I have a spare piece which will fit, so I'll replace it when I've finished with the shop, just in case I damaged the new bit of acetate.
