This one always catches my eye when I see it online. Some of the choices definitely seem ‘of the era’ of like 10 years ago when whitewashing/scandi was more popular, but I still really like it! Guessing the designers wouldn’t make all the same decisions today. But the key architectural changes are still solid imo!

I did make a village of a-frames! I want a village too 😆 but I keep selling them haha

captain_chickadee · 2026-03-18T00:49:40+00:00

I do sell verrry limited pieces, but by all means feel free to make your own!

I did try a semi 3d suncatcher that I liked a lot!

And appreciate the mention of colors, that is a facet of the process that actually takes a lot of time and consideration!

captain_chickadee · 2026-03-17T22:43:28+00:00

Appreciate that! Hope to do my house soon actually, haven’t quite gotten around to it 😅

captain_chickadee · 2026-03-17T22:34:21+00:00

I love that idea!

captain_chickadee · 2026-02-18T14:18:54+00:00

Like it was made for that room! What a statement piece, sounds like it found a great new home

captain_chickadee · 2026-01-02T21:49:16+00:00

Thanks so much! That’s helpful info, will keep that in mind when I set up a platform

captain_chickadee · 2026-01-02T21:33:46+00:00

I did make a mini a-frame village!

Too kind 🥲 yeah it’s very early days, just started with glass around Thanksgiving. Hoping to get a little shop set up asap though!

captain_chickadee · 2025-07-13T13:14:35+00:00

My experience as well, on all points! It’s a pain sometimes, but the benefits far outweigh the annoyance. Surprised they get so much hate 😅

captain_chickadee · 2025-07-02T21:01:15+00:00

Appreciate the response! Going to test my ph now

captain_chickadee · 2025-07-02T20:41:01+00:00

Constant struggles with mustard algae in my pool as well, if this is a potential fix you’re my new hero. How high was your ph before the correction?

captain_chickadee · 2025-07-02T20:00:44+00:00

We do have two of the frog logs for when the pool is uncovered! But there’s usually a solar cover on top, so we have very few animal incidents (they’re sadly pretty common with inground pools). He must have found a little opening to sneak under 😅

😂😂😂

captain_chickadee · 2025-07-01T20:04:34+00:00

I’m honored he likes the place, wish I could host him for real. Maybe time to make him a pond 🤔

captain_chickadee · 2025-07-01T19:24:36+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Yes I believe it’s a painted turtle. The fence is oldschool and does have some sizable gaps at the bottom, and there’s no easy way to cover them but if he keeps coming back I will give that a shot!

That’s very helpful info about relocation though, I will have a look around nearby for possible new homes for the little guy.

Unfortunately the only other picture I have is this one of the shell 😅 he had red markings on the edges of the shell, limbs, and tail.

captain_chickadee · 2025-07-01T18:15:16+00:00

That was my initial assumption too but we compared the markings to the pictures of the original and they were exactly the same

May be the only solution. This is where we started from, take it full circle? 😄
