When I went to my family’s place for Christmas, I saw this old photo of a house that’s no longer standing. What an awesome porch, no? :D Considering this was and still s a mostly agricultural area, it’s rather fancy. I refer to it as Woody’s house since that was the name of man whose family had lived here. He was a friend of my family.
If I were to recreate it in mini, I think a Greenleaf Orchid would give me a great start.
I would add a bay window to the front, move the door to the left, and then build the oval porch. It would be the perfect place for my tall Windsor chair. I picked it up from Patricia M. Wehmeier Miniatures at the Wee “c” Miniatures Show one year. I gave it a spray of flat black and then hand brushed on a thin coat of satin varnish. It seems a more stately and substantial piece in its new color.
I picked up the kit at the local Hobby Lobby using a 40% off coupon. Couldn’t pass up that kind of deal!
