Amost finished!



I was going to upload a picture of the garage we used to have and the cottage it has turned into, but my computer won't upload the image...Again...sigh! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
So we have a little cottage the color of Grandma Pickrell's house in Ketchikan (dk brown) with white trim. There are shutters on the windows with fleur-de-lis's (fleurs-de-lis?) painted on them with a little scrollwork and another fleur-de-lis above the window. There are flower boxes as well that are overflowing with color that shouts welcome! Inside the cottage the main colors are powder blue and powder yellow and different shades of white and cream. The bathroom has white beadboard wainscoting and a bit of flowered wallpaper that I pulled the colors from. In the corner of the living room is a small gas fireplace that will keep the place quite cozy. It is about 800 sq ft in size. It has a tile entry, and then the living room & kitchen have laminate flooring while we have wool light beige carpet for the bedrooms. Oh my goodness!!! The picture just appeared!!! The bathroom has a tile floor with a heater in it. It only took that picture about 10 minutes to upload. Let's see if I can get a close up of the windows now...
There will be a walkway with pavers that will extend in front of the cottage for a little patio. Eventually a little picket fence will be out front so whoever lives there won't have to worry about my labs and maybe their picnic lunch. Hurray!!! There it is! The other picture!
Tomorrow we will have the window casings all in place and the beadboard done. The laminate flooring is the next part. We will also lay the walkway pavers tomorrow. We started this in January-It will be good to get this done!
