Door & steps just for placement (not using either.) Foundation done. Will have Mansard roof.

City sidewalk. Corner lot...

Possible front door design - frosted glass - black area will be clear after cleaning.

Finished lattice, framing & window. Still playing around with colors - will probably do the posts, trim & lattice the darker shade? Might do a copper verdigris hip roof?

I drew this floor in CorelDraw. I'll have this floor copied at Staples, draw some embossed lines on it, then seal it. I'm think'n of doing the entryway with bead board from floor to ceiling & on the ceiling - in an a light to medium oak.

Finally got some sun here in Rhode Island! Wall to the right almost done. Started entryway (background through arch)

Front door will face (photo-right) with lantern on wall, maybe with a window on side & window seat inside. Might do an all bead board interior, not too dark. Underneath will be posts & lattice, wooden steps in front. Maybe some paver bricks connecting to the city sidewalk...
