Dear Readers,
After months of hard work to turn Ivy Cottage into a homey place to live, The Puddlefords are truly settle in their new home.
This is a full view of the ground floor.
The hall.
A small living room area.
Instead of setting up their shop "Nocturnal" in their own home, as they did when they lived in Sugarbush Valley, now The Puddlefords only take orders by appointment.

This way they can give their customers a more personalized service.
Agatha Buckley had arranged to visit the Puddlefords today.
First, she browsed a catalogue to choose the style of bedding.
Once she made up her mind about the design , she will have to choose the fabric.
There are so many different fabrics to choose from that she is finding it hard to make up her mind.
A few weeks later, Agatha is back to collect her new bedding . The smile on her face is a good sign. She congratulated Beth on her good job.
Beth is glad to have a sofa in the living room. She didn´t have one in her previous home.
It´s nice to have a place to relax at the end of the day.
Nelson seems to be much more affectionate than ever before and both enjoy more quality time together.

Nelson seems to be much more affectionate than ever before and both enjoy more quality time together.
He is also much more laid back and he even enjoys a sip of wine from time to time.
The kitchen.
The dining table is exacly in the same place as it was in their home in Sugarbush Valley.
Nelson doesn´t like change and he wanted to keep some things the same way they were in their previous place.

The top floor.
This is Nelson´s and Beth´s bed. Beth made the bedspread and the pillows, of course.
The triplet´s cribs.
The triplets are ready for bedtime.
This is the working area.
Here is where Beth makes quality bed linen, quilts, pillows and bed covers.
Beth´s pieces are beautifully colour coordinated with great attention paid to the detail in the trim and finish, but most important they keep you warm, snug and cozy in bed.
Nelson also helps Beth.He is responsable for sourcing all materials and supplies as well as selling and delivering some of the orders.

As you can see the Puddlefords are happy and comfortable in their new cottage.

My next post will show you who are some of The Puddlefords´s friends in Sweet Berry Valley.
Thanks for reading!
A big hug!
This is absolutely beautiful work! Beth's sewing area is adorable, and the beds all look well made and cosy. Great choice of fabrics, too! The Puddleford family are lucky to have their new home!
ResponderEliminarThank you for your lovely comment, Fox! I´m glad you like The Puddlefords´ home.
EliminarI have this same house!! I LOVE what the Puddlefords did with it!!!!!! So lovely!!
ResponderEliminarThank you so much Sophie! I´m happy to hear you like it! I´ve wanted to have this cottage for a long time. I like the colour of the roof.
EliminarI can see all the effort, talent and love you have put in this little house to transform it into a wonderful home for the Puddlefords! They also bring back memories of the SV, but they look very happy in their new home! Great job!
ResponderEliminarThank you for your kind words, Sylvanako! I wanted the Puddlefords to feel happy and comfortable in their new home. I have the feeling they are.
EliminarAwwww can i live there too ?! It looks so cosy and inviting and definately a family home. You can tell that a sylvanian with a designers eye has kitted it out ;))) i cant wait to find out who the puddlefords have made friends with! I love your stories, i often read them several times as the put a smile on my face! Hugs xx
ResponderEliminarThanks a lot for your lovely comment! I´m really happy to know my stories put a smile on your face. That means a lot to me!
EliminarDear Cutata,
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion the Puddlefords have turned Ivy Cottage into a home that is both practical and cosy. It is always hard to try and fit everything a Sylvanian family needs into such small spaces, but they have done a great job! It really looks like they can go on pursuing their business while at the same time having enough space for day-to-day chores (and relaxation) and, of course, for the triplets!
I like that the Puddlefords made an entirely different choice of colours and patterns than the other families of Sweet Berry Valley that I have seen so far. Some things I like especially are the wooden rafters they put underneath the roof, the orange wallpaper and the beautiful family photograph decorating the hall cupboard.
Best wishes and compliments to the Puddlefords! I hope they feel very comfortable inside their new home!
Regards,
Nina
Hi Nina! Thanks for your lovely comment!
ResponderEliminarThe choice of orange and peach colour for the wallpaper was Beth´s idea. Once, she read that orange was a colour that promoted wellness, warmth and happiness. Orange was described as an optimistic, sociable and extrovert colour that it seems it is having a positive effect on Nelson´s mood.
The Puddlefords are happy to know you like their new home.
Aa big hug
Oh my god, what a wonderful house! They must be very proud to call that their home!
ResponderEliminarHi Emily!Thank you! Yes, they are very proud of their little cottage.
