okay check this out. If I would have brought that house I would have thought of putting the bark on the roof. That's a given. I would not have taken all that gingerbread trim off the original though. My imagination does not run that far. You clearly did a great thing by removing . I had to keep going back and forth because my eyes did not believe these were the same house at first. YOU ROCK!!!

Here are the promised pictures of the things moved- Lets start by showing the two shrubs moved. Fortunately they are not large shurbs but the guys had to do some work on the hill before they got planted. Now since the shrubs were out of the planter, two roses were moved in. Showing a longer view of the area of the front yard. The roses are the lighter colored ones in the second of the half round planters. Seeing it all from another view. A big empty spot in my sidyard rose garden from those roses that moved out front. And now here is the rose moved into the rear of the garage. Poor thing was looking the worst of everything that was moved. And here is the bigger empty spot were both Carefree Delight and the Gift used to be in my sideyard. They came even further out from those landscape blocks just put there now. You can see the dirt areas were things were dug up. It looks quite different along that area of the yard as when you stood here you used to see those big roses. Closeup of the area uptsairs with the moved Carefree Delight. Landscape shot of the bed upstairs including Carefree Delight. And thats it for the big rose moving project the other day. But I plan to move more roses. The bigger projects of the needed moves are my approx 5 foot tall Bonica shrub rose that is going to go in the third of the planter boxes in the front yard. That would be directly in back of the two Charles Aznavour roses there now. The next thing planned is to move my two Flower Carpet Appleblossom Roses, one into the back yard and the other repositioned from were it is now. They are not very tall but they spread out alot. The big deal will be tying them up and then lifting the spreading canes so they they can be dug because as they are now, you could not put a shovel thru them.

Very nice. Thanks for posting your photo. I very much like that the path was placed where it was needed. Sometimes garden paths are too contrived and just don't look right. Christine.

Maybe it's a reproduction of an antique, I say it's fair game to mosaic!!! Lovely job on the finished abstract!!! I am planning to copy some of it to get my abstract juices going!lol! I did a papermache horse, I used a country pattern of dishes and it turned out really cool!! I thought that sealing the grout with grout sealer would protect it outside but the grout cracked so I hauled it back inside.
