Default Manor House & Orangery

Hi,

I don't know if people remember my posting around this time last year to say I'd received the Orangery for Christmas, and then again towards the end of last year to say I was stuck.....well I've finished, so thought I'd post a couple of photos.

Thank You!

They stopped the Manor House too, so I really do have unique items.

Well done Angle - the 2 properties look as if they were made for each other.

Hi I love the colour scheme you have chosen for your house and orangery, they both go well together.

Can I ask how long did it take you to complete them both ?

Thanks everyone.

I've actually had the Manor house for about 15 years now, so couldn't tell you how long it took.

The orangery took about a year, but there were long periods of inactivity. There were lots of tiny bits that needed painting/varnishing and lack of space meant that it probably took longer.

HI Angie I really like the Manor house but when I brought my property it had just been discontinued. Your house and orangery look so good together. The brickwork looks good too.
What colour varnish did you use please? I have MP/JW and want the inside lighter than I have used in my M/S.
