If you all remember, Peanut has had a house for quite some time now. She recently decided to do some remodeling.

First of all, here's a "before" pic so you can remember the houses humble beginnings as a box.

Then here she is, checking out the progress as the place was literally turned upside down as the remodeling was taking place. At this point, the "brickies" were hard at work before she came for inspection.

Here she's inspecting the final touch - the landscaping. Ooohhh, look at all the pretty flowers!

And here she is, enjoying her new home as she relaxes on the front porch.

She hopes you like her "new" house. :D

Peanut, what a pretty house. You look so cute curled up in front of the door. I would love to see a picture of the shingles on your roof. Please may I come visit. :)

Here's her roof. The line down the middle is where the shingles start going down the other side. It was tough to make it look right because it's just a flat roof, not peaked like normal houses. I think I should put some sort of "cap" over the line like a regular house would have to finish it off, but I'll have to work on finding something that looks right. :)

Oh, and I wanted a tile roof like they have all over Europe, but her daddy wanted a cedar shake roof, and since she's such a daddy's girl......;) :rolleyes:

OMG I'm almost left speechless.....but let's see what I come up with?

Peanut, I can't believe you did that all by yourself. I adore what you've done to the outside and those flowerbeds add such a feeling of "home". The shingles are placed at just the right angle. You must be very proud of yourself!!!!:) :) I do hope that you let Tubby help out a little bit because those cedar shakes must have been very heavy. I think I'll place a call to Better Homes and Gardens and suggest they feature you in their magazine.:) :)

What a great looking house you have there Peanut.:) I think that I would like to come over and visit also.;)

That is a great idea. If I do that they I don't have a bunch of boxes all over the house, I have a little cat village.;)

You did a great job on making is look like a house.:D

WOW! What a clever girl!

When Cassy remodels one of his boxes, he just claws/chews holes in it, sigh.

Peanut what a pretty house you have! Now to keep it all nice and clean you will definitely need a welcome mat that says "Wipe Your Paws Please." ;)

Now that's a house fit for a queen, Queen Peanut that is.:) What a great looking house. Hopefully Tubby won't get jealous or you may need to make him a castle. :)

Make it an Arizona house,:) most of the houses here have flat roofs since it hardly rains and it's more economical to have a flat roof.

Peanut you have done such a great job on your house!

Aww Peanut, you have done an excellent job building your new house. I am very impressed! I love the porch and flower beds in the front – and I definately agree that it should be featured in “House and Garden” ;)

Dear Peanut,

I love your house! It is so fresh and clean looking. And you have shutters so you can have nice naps!

Would you come over and build a house for me? A ONE bedroom house please so there is no room for that boy!

Rascal wants one too! But he doesn't want to share it with Annie and Emma. He says they would just gussy it all up.

He wants something basic and manly - so he can leave the lid to the litter box UP all of the time.

Peanut you are one lucky girl to own a home all of your own. You chose excellent architects.

Thanks so much everybody! She had brought the house upstairs last night to put the final touches on it, and she loves it so much that when it was done she spent almost the entire evening in it.....making me think she might need an upstairs house in addition to her downstairs house.......:rolleyes: ;) :D :D

Oh, and I think I'm going to get her a nice "address plate" for Christmas. (you know, those metal "signs" people put out front with their addresses on it?) Saying something like

Oh Peanut! We just love the pictures you have posted of your new home. It's property day in our newspaper today, but they just didn't have anything to compare with your beautiful, newly remodelled home!

If your discussions go well with the PayItForward herd and you are thinking of coming to the UK, we would be most interested in meeting with you to discuss some ideas.
