12. A Sunset Cottage with Fairy Lights

A Sunset Cottage with Fairy Lights

Last one, and the prettiest after dark. I strung fairy lights — well, glow berries and lanterns — all along the roofline of my lavender cottage, and wrapped them around the porch posts too. At sunset the lights come on one by one, the purple field turns deep violet, and the whole cottage glows like a lantern in the garden. I put a little firefly jar on the windowsill and a bench out front for watching the stars. It is the build I show everyone first.
