from my house there is this pretty little bungalow {the Aves are stacked with them!}. I love it for the great mix of materials and natural colors. The lighting at night is very nice too, winning it my best house on the block award.
{I'm seriously thinking of actually leaving something with the people who live in these houses that inspire me. They should know right?}
This one reminds me of homes in the northwest. Think Seattle suburbs with the olive green, mustard, a bit of muted red and all that stone; it would fit right in there. Though it makes a unique statement nestled here in Salt Lake City.
On my way to work today. Blustery, bitterly cold out. But at least the skies are blue.
Last night while watching the finale of Downton Abbey (was anyone else as frustrated as I am with the lack of resolution within ANY of the story lines?) I took my own advice and built my own little Petit Trianon.
It turned out pretty well although I wasn't able to figure out the wing walls for the courtyard elevation above (so I cut them off).
Much like the original, it's a little jewel box! I love the little parapet detail at the roof. If anyone else decides to build one, I would love to see the final result, especially if you figured out how the courtyard walls work.
I came across this graphic recently to build your own model of the Petit Trianon. Simply click on the image above to enlarge and save to your computer. Print out on cardstock and voila -a few minutes of fun crafting! You may remember the postcard models I built of various house styles which I keep on my desk at work-this is soon to join them. Enjoy!
