…again at last!
Oh it does feel good to be participating in this meme again – yet as is my way, I’m not really doing it properly… again… sorry Kirsty… you are very patient.
Since I showed y’all my not terribly creative, messy, cluttered space yesterday, and since, unfortunately, it’s only gotten worse since then… I’m showing you The Boy’s creative space instead.
It involves paint, pickets, nails & screws turning into a rather exciting yet soooooooooo slow to materialise… PICKET FENCE!
I can’t say that I am someone that has always dreamed of a white picket fence – my dream home always included a small railway track for getting from room to room – but it’s looking pretty schmick, me thinks.
Unfortunately it is a loooooooooooong way off being finished, The Boy & his boss/helper have consistently underestimated the number of pickets needed, so right now all the painted pickets are up, more are being painted & more still are yet to be bought…
Head here for more luffly spaces, and to play along! (‘tis fun, really!)
Oh my, it is looking very storybook cottage! I quite like that picket pleasantry you have going on there. It is a wonder how much time these things take. My brother in law just finished 2 small stone wall raised beds in front of our little green cottage, he started over a year and a half ago! So, at least you are moved and you can take time for all the clever things you want to do to your sweet cottage.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a clever guy you have there. A white picket fence isn’t my dream either (the train gizmo sounds good though!), but you have to admit that is a rather shmick face lift for your cottage.
ReplyDeleteI am not a picket fencer either.. But they are still SO charming, especially with your adorable house!
ReplyDeleteOh it looks lovely & I think it will be well worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteLove the white picket fence and the mail box peeking through it. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteSimply Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking great VIc, and your house is absolutely gorgeous!!!xo
ReplyDeleteWow. Looks fantastic. Now I can't wait till someone paints the front door...bright red...not obsessing or anything...really.
ReplyDeleteAce work on the fence, love Posie
ReplyDeleteHa, thanks for the laugh... I'm enjoying imagining a private small railway, in fact I think my boys will love it too, so IF we ever move into a space which has more than about 4 square metres of space, I think I'll look into it.
ReplyDeleteThat is the best white picket fence ever... we don't have a front fence but we have a back one...hehe it's not white though...
ReplyDeletexo Steph
Cool space! hey, remember how long it takes some of us to finish our stuff off! Still going on most of them heehee. What a mnaly thing to make, too! Are you getting a dog soon?
ReplyDeleteOh it looks great! I kinda like the half-finished look, so much promise!
ReplyDeletetis v cute to have a fence so pretty.It just needs a pretty frocked rosy cheeked girl leaning over it to make it into a story book illustration. Your house beyond is v cute too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great...big job..I have painted a fence before...bugger of a job to do. When you start you think...arh..this will be easy..then it goes on and on and oh....my secret...IPOD!! x
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be such a spacial sweet cottage to reside in!!!! I love it Vic!
ReplyDeleteps: I'm sure you don't care nor have realised hehe, but I realised that there are about 3 different Tracey's commenting on your posts, incase u get us mixed up I'm going to do this at the end...
- From Tracey @ thrift.nest.sew I'm not blog promoting just differentiating. x
oh I think it looks just lovely, I can imagine sitting on the porch with a cool drink on a summer afternoon looking out over your picket fence. Well done on the WIP so far...
ReplyDeleteI love that fence, worth the wait I'd say!
ReplyDeleteOh I've always dreamed of a white picket fence, and a swingseat on a porch, and a sweet little mailbox and anything else 'Anne of Green Gablesy'..... Just doesn't work in Blighty in the rain.....
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't want a white picket fence - I mean really - just perfect
ReplyDeleteOh WOW, straight out of a story book or a lovely dream with the sun on the verandah your house looks divine ;)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. You've got a beautiful home there.
ReplyDeleteThe picket fence will add to its chaarm:) Tis looking good.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet little cottage Vic! I'm loving it! So much potential indeed.
ReplyDeletep.s. Welcome Back to bloggie land. :)
A white picket fence has always been a dream for me! I am green with envy!
ReplyDeleteI love it. Wish we could get away with one on post. Not that the Army would give him any time for such thing. Hope it is finished soon. :)
