More Gingerbread House Chronicles -- Candy Cane Chalet

I was browsing through My Rare One's photo archives the other night and what did I discover but a couple more photos of past gingerbread houses that we created! Since we're still close enough to the holiday season, I thought screw it, I'll just post them now.

So I present to you today's offering -- the Candy Cane Chalet!

We were going for a nordic look with the upturned candy canes. Hmmm. The primarily green and white colour scheme with just a touch of red strikes me now as a bit too subdued for a gingerbread house. Also, the cracker shutters are too plain. But still, I like this whimsical little cottage!

Laura said...: I love the turned up canes...I could get cozy in there...is it a ranch? I need a one level home now...how wide are the doorways, is it wheelchair accessible??? A little colored icing, a few gum drops...easy to add a little color...nice curb appeal. I like it.; Tuesday, January 11, 2011
Auntie sezzzzzz... said...: That is such a coooool Nordic look! You two are brilliant! :-) But you knew that, didn't you?

Nice to offer for my Garden Gnome to leave his snow bound existence and come live in you cute house. But... I fear, he's be way too big.

At least he'd be warm and out of the snow though. Even if the lower part of him and all of his frog, were outside the little house. ,-)

Gentle winter hugs...; Tuesday, January 11, 2011
