You lucky duck! That's adorable!

Wow! How cool is that? It looks like an old well house, but it could be turned into an awesome little Gnome home for the garden. That scale would be really fun to work with!

One of the coolest finds of the year!! I'd have grabbed that one, too!
How about some little window boxes, a stepping stone pathway, some mini totems and plate flowers and of course, a little mailbox on a post and a birdbath out front!!
whew, I'm tired now! I think tasymo's idea of a gnome home is great. This is an adorable find, have fun with it. I have a little greenhouse I am wanting to set up in a wheelbarrow, but yours might be too large and you would have to make sure it was level, too. I want to put mine in the middle of my wheelbarrow and have flowers spilling over the sides, maybe next year. Just getting back in the groove for now.

Ohhhhh! I love the little house! and I love the ideas you guys have come up with! I have been looking for an idea to cover the well casing in my yard too. I might just have to build something like that and use these ideas and build a gnome garden around that area.

Great find! And score one for you for stopping and grabbing that bad boy! I love it! Can't wait to see what you do with it...

Not every day you find a free house beside the road!! Looks like it has wonderful possibilities & the gals have lots of ideas for it! Will be fun to see it in place!! Great find!! Jan

That is just too cute!! Can't wait to see what you do with it!!

Oh boy, I was wondering how one of you GJers was going to MOVE a house!!! This one is just so-o-o sweet! My first thought was to decorate it like a "garden shed!"

Needs a sign above the door ... some window boxes (like daisydal said), a few rocks planted in the ground for a path...and some low-growing sedums or thyme filling in around the rocks. And I'd look for some kids or dolls' gardening tools and sun or moons to attach to the shed. Or a picket fences are wonderful! Lots of choices! Wow, have fun & please share pics like "susiewantsroses" shares of her beautiful houses! Jeanne S.

That is just darling, and has so much potential. Some gingerbread trim would be cute. :)
What are the dimensions? I'm trying to see the size.
I'd like to make something like that. Maybe a little village.
There is a place not too far from here that has a child-sized village of houses. I'll take my camera next time I go by it.

Hey neighbor- which part of Michigan did you find it? I'm glad you saw it first, cause I would have strapped to my roof of the car if I had to! (ask my kids, they will agree!)

Great find!!

Lucky girl! That is an outstanding curb shopping find. Keep us posted on what you do with it!

Thanks for all the ideas. Some I hadn't even thought of!

mjowest~~I live in the thumb area. Yep, I've done the "strap it to the roof" thing myself a time or two also! Don't ya love the looks people give you?? LOL

The guy said he put it to the road late yesterday afternoon and was surprised it was still there this morning...yes, the gods smiled upon me, I'm never this lucky, especially since he helped me load it. Thought I was going to have to drag it behind the truck for a minute.

It's pretty big, haven't measured it yet, but it's chest high (apprx. 3 ft. or so)

small outhouse cut a moon in the door.......

What a great gift!
You working on it yet?

fantastical!

Haven't had a chance to start thinking about what to do with it. Had 2 deaths in the family in as many days; can't wrap my head around it right now. Hopefully before winter sets in through I can figure it out, if not there's always next year

I am so sorry about the deaths in your family. In 1997 we had 2 in one day-an accident and an expected (stroke) death. So I know how that feels. Please except my condolences and prayers.

My prayers go out to you and your family. You are right. The adorable little house will wait. Take care of the things with feelings first...especially yourself!
