French Villa Miniature House

My latest cottage is this French Villa style with stucco and stone.. Great roof with lots of character.

This house is made entirely of cardboard. The shingles are individually cut, shaped and painted.
I had to move the fireplace to the front of the house. On the real house it is much further back since the house is so deep.
Each window has a frame, molding, sill, and mullion individually applied.
The front door and garage door are also framed. They are built just like the real doors. Layer after layer for great dimension.



The house is covered with concrete mix. The front of the house is sculpted to look like Austin stone
The front door is recessed under a porch. The ceiling of the porch is wood planks just like the real one! is
This is the first house I've had the architect's plans for. It was a wonderful help! Wish more
people had them!

  8. An open fire or wood burner is alluring for winter/Christmas appointments. In the event that floor coverings are utilized ensure they are hardwearing or dim in shading as stains appear effectively and can make a room look filthy. https://yes-mallorca-property.com
