This has to be the most annoying "Why did I ever start this project?!" thing ever... I've always hated the Colonial Cabaret house and never used it. So tonight I decided to try and redesign the front of the house and got inspired to turn it into a Japanese style tea house and baths. I only got around to doing the front, went inside, thought "Yep, a new floor and walls and I can redesign this easy!" Got out onto the patio room and went thought "How TF am I going to redesign this??" haha. The railing cannot be hidden AT ALL. But I took on the challenge - it's now a Rock Garden and I am happy pretty with the results!!

As a reminder, this is what the patio is supposed to look like:



This is my new Japanese inspired Rock Garden (yes I know the banners are Chinese but all I could find in a pinch). The only thing missing is some water in the garden but will add that later!



This is what I've done with the front so far.... original first:



And now my redesign:



I'll keep working on the interior rooms, but it might take me a while to finish the project. Will post here as I get things done.

Love the transformations !

beautiful!
