Progress on my shabby country cottage....

Well, for what seems like a lifetime, I have been plodding along with building my Greenleaf Buttercup cottage. There are just so many pieces, that all need sanding, and many that need persuading to fit! The end is in sight now though! I have the 4 little side piece of roof to fit and all the little bits and pieces like the gingerbread trim, window boxes, and decorative features. But I'm in no hurry to get all of those bit done yet.
I've started to crack on with the interior! I've used very thin wood veneer to create floorboards for upstairs and downstairs. I made the bed from scratch - it's the wooden one from a few posts ago. It is a little big though...and so I may have to make another a little smaller to fit niver into the room...... The dressing table was some very cheap plain dark wooden furniture purchaed from a charity shop that I have shabby-fied. Same for the dresser downstairs. The sofa and little table are not compelte yet, I just put them in to see apporx sizes etc.
Anyway, here are some pics! Enjoy!
