Piggy Palace Project

[Flutterby]

I have started this project with a new house that I've bought for the pigs. The house/castle is from Etsy and only cost £16! As its bare wood I decided to paint it with pet safe garden paint (using tester pots from B&Q). I am also going to use stick on vinyl tiles for the top and the ramp, followed up with new coloured lollipop grip steps.

Also I will be naming the palace and painting it on, so any name suggested for the palace would be great!

Here are some pics of the palace and its first coat of paint.

That looks lovely. Lucky piggies x

 

[Flutterby]

Thanks Claire. Still a bit of work to do to it but it's going to be funky!

Ooh, looks great! As for names, would it work if you took the first two/three letters of each pigs name and made it into a word, then add 'Palace'? For example, mine would be Wilmar Palace

 

[Flutterby]

Ooh not a bad Idea. Gwetrumyrlot palace? Hahahahah!

 

[Tiny]

Sounds like that could be an actual place in Wales

 

[Flutterby]

Hahah it does!

[Flutterby]

Just bought another one in a different shape (spoiled piggies!). Will paint that too!

 

[Swissgreys]

They look amazing (even unpainted which is how they would stay in this house!).
Any chance you could provide the link to the seller please @Flutterby ?
It's not like we need any more houses, but little castles are so cute.

 

[Flutterby]

More houses are brilliant! Here's the link to the Etsy store.

Wow what a cool idea, piggies very spoilt. Looking good so far, hope we get to see the finished products.

They don't ship to Switzerland
Which is probably good thing for my wallet!

 

[Flutterby]

Aww What a shame!

Here's the finished product! I'm not very crafty so I think I've done an OK job lol. I've named it Piggingham Palace. I'll put some pics on when I put it in with the girls, just letting the last bits dry. Can't wait to paint the next one

I thought I recognised the products, they have a shop that I follow on ebay. For some reason the products are cheaper on etsy. But here is the link to the ebay shop: whelbandsassortedpetshelters on eBay

 

[Flutterby]

Oooh thanks! They are so well built.

 

[Flutterby]

The girls are giving it a seal of approval, apart from Lottie. The palace is way too scary for Lottie!

 

[Tiamolly123]

I think it looks fantastic & you are very art & crafty. The piggies will be onto you soon for an extension.

 

[Flutterby]

Hahah thank you. I have another one on order which will hopefully arrive soon.

 

[helloitsbecca]

Omg that looks amazing! If my boys decide to be friends again then I will definitely be ordering one for them.

 

[Flutterby]

They are great, such good value for money!

Oooooop i quite fancy getting one of these for their indoor run ! What was the paint you used - does it say pet safe paint on it ? X

 

[Flutterby]

It's B&Q Garden Colours and is pet safe.
