17. CCN Main Street Coffee Shop - Broom Shop

 


Country Cottage Needleworks - Main Street Coffee Shop

Converted to Broom Store for my Hallowe'en Town
Stitched on 32 count Murano in Charcoal Slate from Sparklies


I kept the basic colour scheme of peach and green but changed it to a more orange shade and a limey-green.  The window and door frames are dark brown and the fence went black.  While the tree became an autumnal tree using DMC 4130, a variegated red/orange/brown. Tiny changes to the shape of the roof and chimney pots.


I also added brooms in the window, a broom vertical door handle and a broom-stand instead of one of the fences. Inbetween the two shops I added a little street light.

Here is the full piece so far:


Here is a photo of the original shop:
