Creole Townhouse Courtyard



I used left-over wooden floor sheet to cover the balcony

This is the outbuilding for servants, laundry and storage

The courtyard will be freestanding and butt against the townhouse






The carriageway that leads to the courtyard

This is an interior view of the kit basement with the new walls and openings added

This was the first time I have ever used a jigsaw, I had trouble cutting the arches out with the scroll saw. I used the table saw for the straight cuts on the walls and base from $6 MDF from Home  Depot. I bought the railing from Miniatures.com and used spindles from the wood section at Hobby Lobby. I cut an opening for the kitchen window, which was originally a part of the conservatory kit by RGT.

  1. Nice court yard. Did you make the flowers too? Seems like a great place to dine AL-fresco.
