Playhouse Update

 

The outside is painted and trim painted, not fully

attached yet....the roof...well what can I say

here is my 'There I fixed it shot"

At first I thought a bit of plastic and a heavy tarp

over the main section would work...still leaked

then my #1 helper {thanks Romeo} added the leaky pool...

Still leaked...today I added more platic.

It is just temporary till we decide how to fix the roof.

Recent photo of the newly painted inside wall.

 I choose a tint of light creme for the entire inside

space. Trimmed with blue for the windows.

I will also trim around the floor with a green that is

much like the original {third photo} below.

 

This is the ceiling, I am going to keep it just the

way it is, I love the bits of color that show when it

was originally constructed they used reclaimed wood.

Jury is still out about the beams, they are rather

rough so I will try to plane them down,

I may have to paint them in the end.

The town this came from was a railroad town 

I am positive this was from an old rail car,
 -C-N and the R is under the beam I think it

is important to keep it on the ceiling just as it is.

As I searched for the color pallet, I thought I was choosing

the colors I loved. You can see by this corner shot, someone

else from a far away time loved the same colors I did.

Creme ~ Blue ~ Watery Green

The woodpecker holes that were very large, I covered with

semi precious stones, shells and bits of glass.

I love this door knob. During the process of flaking off some

of the old paint that it was caked with,

you can see I scratched

it. I do believe it may be solid brass. Now I have to decide.

Do I polish it or leave the Patina.

I love the Patina, but I know

it will Patina again. What would you do?
