Snowy Old-Fashioned Facade



Created by / photographed by flickr user Profound Whatever.

I know it's just a facade, but there are some great details here - I love the clumps of snow, the icey road and sidewalk (studs-not-on-top instead of Cafe Corner style, but still an interesting effect), and the way 1x1 plates are used (and angled!) to create a realistic stone texture. The railings and the heavy use of log-bricks really gives it that early Colorado feel and makes it easy to show off the rare color (dark green) without using up too much of it. The rounded parts around the top floor windows are another great touch.

  2. Everyone seems to love the snow; I don't know what it is about it.
