Half Scale "My Shabby Chic Cottage" Finished

I decided I was not happy with the interior of the 1/2 scale cottage.  So I changed it!
Ahhhh! That's better! I added some robin egg blue to the walls. Now that chandelier really stands out. I also decided on romantic lace curtains.
I painted this rug.  I used book binding fabric. It's really thick and strong.
Bunting is necessary!
 The fireplace mantel has not changed. But it too really pops now against that blue wall.
Here's a picture to give you prospective on size.

 I also added more vines. I think it looks a little more cozy now.
I'm listing this one in my Etsy shop CinderellaMoments.

    Just perfect. I do love the blue. As you say, it makes everything pop. A perfect little place that makes one dream of a fantasy world when one looks at it.

    Hola Caroline
    Tienes toda la razon, al cambiar el color resalta mas la lampara y la repisa.
    Esa preciosa alfombra es el ultimo gran toque a tu fantastica casita.
