RITA'S HERITAGE

            This is another house found in a forgotten album. 
I loved this house. 
I used a color scheme that I saw on a Bed and Breakfast in one of our travels. 
 I thought the blue and purple combination was striking. 
I prefer a house with irregularities instead of one with four straight sides.

            I did something unique with the back of this house. 
With small pieces of wood I made an enclosure for the back.
  I covered one piece with shingles to match to roof
(there are always leftovers). 
 I put two little nails in the house roof and
drilled two little holes in the added piece. 
 I then simply hung the added roof to cover the cut out. 

            For the back of the house I painted a
window and door to match the theme of the house. 
There was a small ledge where the base of the house
 extended from the house itself. 
I simple tucked the back enclosure under the roof overhang
 and rested it on the little ledge.
Worked like a charm.  
I also enclosed a log cabin in the same manner. 
The cabin was donated to a school raffle. 
 Unfortunately we have no pictures.

            I gave this house to my niece, Carla
She is now a 30 year old woman and still enjoys her house. 
 She changes the yard ornaments to reflect
 the holidays and special times of the year.
