Things - Christmas DIY - Advent Calendar House

I wandered into Hobbycraft at the weekend and spotted that they had a load of Christmas things in, so I had to have a peek and found a fab range of wooden advent calendars.
I spotted a wooden house and decided that I wanted to make one. I knew that I wanted a traditional look so I decided to go for a craft paper/house colour for the main colour, red, green and white accents.
The house as bought below...♥  

What I used to create the house...♡

♥ Hobbycraft wooden house ♥ Light brown paint ♥ Brown paint ♥ Red paint ♥ Green paint ♥ White paint ♥ Off-white (custom blend) paint ♥ Iridescent glitter ♥ Advent toppers (Hobbycraft) ♥ Wooden Shapes (Hobbycraft) painted white ♥ Paint Brushes ♥ PVA glue

What I did...♡ 

♥1♥

I painted the whole house in a light brown colour, the roof white, the chimney and bottom red. (I repeated this step about 4 times)

♥ 2 ♥ 

I painted the drawers in the off white, green and red.

I then painted the wooden shapes, snowflakes and stars white, candy canes red and the deer brown.

After I was happy with the opaqueness of the paint finish I added the glitter to the desired parts.

I allowed everything to dry overnight then added the advent toppers to the draws and placed them in the house in a mixed pattern.

I then added all the decorations to the house.

I'm really pleased with the result, it did take a long time but hopefully it will last for many years. Any questions please ask, let me know if you decide to decorate one yourself I would love to see your designs.
