sorry guys, i haven't been on in a while to update everyone on my progress on this house and how i am getting it done. anyway, here is an up to date picture of the front of the house.....

i have used sandpaper to texture the exterior walls where needed and rectangular shaped pieces bought in packages from hobby lobby to make the quoins for the corners of the house. The colors i have chosen to match my living room colors because that is where this house will wind up in the end. for the interior, i cut new stairway openings in the center of the floor spaces so that they weren't directly beside the walls. i don't know if i have posted about this before, but i also made a back for this house out of foam-board. so when completed the house will have four sides and be completely enclosed. A first for me. I will continue to update as i begin really getting into the interior decor of this house and adding walls and flooring to it.
