Tim,
Thanks for the compliments!  I really agonized over that door, I knew that
the knob should go in the middle, but I had nothing to use for brass!  When
it finally came down to it I figured that I wanted to have the door look
like it was several boards put together and painted green.  Unfortuately I
have very few green tiles, so I had to choose wisely how to arrange them to
get that appearance.  That left me with the option of putting a grey knob in
the middle and killing that look, or putting it on the side.  If I'd used
regular plates, the door would have looked like the mountain had fallen in
behind the threshold!  Anyway it was a give and take, in this case you
caught me!!:)  Jon

Hey Jon,

I love it, It has so much detail. The flower garden under the windows, green
door(just to let you know,".., with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact
middle.") :cD, the inside looks so great. I like how you made that bed(i
might use that idea[if it's alright with you]). The cuboards, the food.
Fantastic Job i say.

Keep it up.
