I am so excited! Hubby and I built this adorable little fairy house/yard conservatory out of old windows this past weekend and we finally got it done enough to set up last night.
We didn't have to purchase one thing (which is good since I am on a limited budget)
I love how it turned out!
We already had the windows...
...and this piece of cast iron trim that I had purchased at Hobby Lobby
The two pieces of trim that the cast iron is attached to
I sat my little iron chair planter on the inside.
I love how it turned out!
We already had the windows...
...and this piece of cast iron trim that I had purchased at Hobby Lobbyon clearance for $2.00 months ago.
(not having any idea what I would do with it)
Isn't it just perfect for this little house?
The one window on the roof has only one piece of glass left so
I just stuck a hollyhock through one of the open panes...
Love it ~
The two pieces of trim that the cast iron is attached to is from an old dresser that I gave to my daughter.
She took them off while in the process of repainting the dresser
and decided she didn't want to put them back on so....
She gave me the extra pieces and
here they are...
just perfect ~
I sat my little iron chair planter on the inside.It has pretty pink geraniums and greenery ~
I want to add a few more details like a silverware
chandelier, more trim, maybe a doorknob and a
sign that will say, "Faires Welcome", but I just couldn't wait to show you.
Do you think my fairies will like their new home? I hope so...
I want them to stick around for a long time ~
Blessings~

ReplyDeleteIt is just beautiful !! You and your hubby did a wonderful job ~
I Love these little "greenhouses". I could kick myself, as 2 months ago I let hubby set out to the curb, 2 windows that would have been great for this. I've been wanting to make one myself forever, why did I lt him toss those out? (I do know that someone snatched them up, so they didn't go t o the landfill). Yours is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteVERY NICE Fairy House!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the hollyhock poking thru and I'm sure you will have some fairies there in no time!!

When we bought this house there were a "jillion" old windows in the loft in the garage. Now I know what we will do with them.... Can't wait to break the news to my Hubs!! LOL!!

Sandi, my friend ... this creation is fan-tab-u-lous!!! I'd have never thought of this .... TTFN ~Marydon
ReplyDeleteThis is cute as can be! I love fairy houses. When my daughter was little we made one together (out of moss, twigs, leaves, etc.) and it will always be a memory we will cherish. You've done a beautiful job.
ReplyDeleteSandi- I cannot tell you how many pictures of these sweet little greenhouses I have in my inspiration folder- now to include yours!!
ReplyDeleteI would so love to find some old window to make one of these- your is so sweet and I know you will enjoy it!

It's beautiful Sandi! I love it...
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Sandi!!! I love your adorable fairy house/conservatory. What a wonderful piece to have displayed in your garden.
ReplyDeleteI have one too. I put a finial from Lowe's on top and it latches w/a cool old copper twist lock.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby used to work for a lady that had one stacked on top of another with shelves and lighting inside. So pretty.
I'm glad you didn't wait Sandi!!! Your fairy house is beautiful!! Do you realize what you could sell these for now that you and your hubby are pros at making them?? Enjoy sweet Sandi, it's so very lovely, xxoo, Dawn
