The House of Six Gables

Post by Lee »

Good morning,

I included this on another thread but Lucy thought I should give it its own post; so here we are.

This build is based on a many gabled pink house that Pete posted recently.

This is my version. Not a reproduction but inspired by his house.

Enjoy,
Lee

Here are some side pictures and on the back I made two hinged doors to a compartment for the tea lights.

Lee - I agree with Lucy! Your work should have its own thread and I love the title! Very nice and creative interpretation!

This is amazing. Way beyond my skills. What did you use for the knobs on the door flaps?

Deb, they were small knobs like for jewelry boxes that I found on Amazon. I had to cut down the screw that attached them to work with such a thin material.
