Finally finished this project, and got my son to take some pix with his fancy new phone. A big thank you to all of you who helped me with this project! Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Your restoration is so beautifully accomplished, Barb. We will never know exactly what this big house looked like when new, but FOR SURE it has never looked better than now. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your excellent pics.

This is wonderful! The house, the setting and the back drop. All excellent! What kind of diffuser and light are you using for the moon?

Thanks to all for your nice comments! Lee, the moon is a remote controlled, chargeable 3D moon light with the topography of the moon etched into the plastic. I inserted it midway into the foam core backdrop but another forum member I know uses the full shape, which looks better in my opinion. These lights can be found on, where else... Amazon.
