Are you kidding me?!? I have gnome home envy... baaaaadddd. I wish I were handy... scratch that - I sort of am... I wish I were ambitious :) This looks amazing right down to the last detail (are those actual functioning opening windows?!?) This is AWESOME! Your gnome will never roam (you just need a sign for the porch that says, "hangin' with my gnomies".
ReplyDeleteLove love love! so whimsical and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI second what Stacey just wrote about the sign! that would be so fun :)

Thanks everyone! We are really proud and can't wait to play in it with our little one. The windows do function. I love the idea for the sign...I might have to make one (I hope there is no patent on the phrase) :)
ReplyDeleteI wish i could live there! So bright and cheery. I love it. perfect for making childhood memories.
