My Shabby Cottage- The Orchid by Greenleaf

So this is my Cherry Cottage Boutique and the third in my dollhouse lineup. It's the Orchid by Greenleaf kit. And this kit also makes my fourth dollhouse as well. I bought two of the kits, knowing right away that I wanted to make one into this boutique. The other I'm still not sure about. I thought about a witch's cottage for Halloween, or maybe a Christmas house. We shall see.

As usual, it's not quite finished. Shingles seem to intimidate me. I don't know why, but it's the part I procrastinate. I think it needs one more coat of paint. I couldn't tell that until seeing it on camera. I might paint the door white. Not sure if the green is the look I'm going for.




You can see that the floor sags. I need to put some pillars in the middle to hold it up. I plan on having a glass counter with goodies in it, where customers also check out. I will have two to three different hutches full of wonderful little minis, and then I will also have a little table with two chairs, so tiny people can eat the yummy desserts available in my boutique. Upstairs will be the owner's office and a place to sleep in the little alcove over the porch. It will also have a bathroom.
