The French Cafe Dollhouse

The striped awning is on. The gray shingles are almost done.
Inside, I hinged the door in place and the window trims are painted.
I'm starting to paint all the stucco and stones.
I'm going for a very old look just like the cafes in Paris. So I used a moss green and a lighter green to make those moldy drip marks under the windows.

  12. Hi Caroline, it looks more and more French, I like the green drip marks under the windows and the little bleu house number, that is typically French.
    Have a great weekend !!
