Jen's Cottage- Pink!

I have been working on Jen's Cottage. This house is cut out of a sheet of wood from the hardware store. It's an original design.
 I sketched the house down on my notebook about month ago. It's gone through some little changes, like the addition of a wrap around porch. 
I've done the porch floor.  The roof will probably be put on after I paint. 
I've painted 2 rugs and some artwork for the interior. I also finished some pillows for the bed.
The roof is on and the upstairs chandelier in place.
The siding is on the exterior.  Now it's time to paint.

Finally, a pink house!  Thanks Jen for going for it!  This is going to be the sweetest house I've ever made.

    Интересная интрига!
    Мне нравится розовый цвет. С нетерпением буду ждать завершение проекта. А кто там будет жить? Принцесса?
    С наилучшими пожеланиями из России. Елена.

    Dear Caroline, I just love the house, it is sooo pretty in pink! Since this is not from a kit, but made from scratch, could you explain how the construction of the house is made? Is it enough only to glue them together? This is sooo cute, I love it!

      Hi Ebru! I just get a sheet of thin plywood from the hardware store. I cut out my design. This one needed to be taller so I could have a nice space for the bedroom. I cut out the windows and doors. Then I do hot glue it. The thing is that my hot glue is for wood and I use the hotter professional hot glue gun. We made a mistake on a previous house and tried to pull it apart. It was impossible. This stuff really sticks! If your glue is not quite as strong you can use a staple gun for such thin plywood. If I use MDF I nail it together. But usually hot glue is enough. Especially if you are not shipping your houses. Try out gluing a couple of pieces of leftover wood together to test out your hot glue gun's performance. Great question Ebru!
      hugs♥,
      Caroline
