This is my version of a "Christmas Vacation" inspired Advent Calendar I made for the Pope family. Although inspired by the one in the movie, mine is all original. I designed the plans for it and added some features that the movie one didn't have.
It measures just over 4 feet wide, 2 feet tall and about 10 inches deep. All of the windows and doors are hand made, each cedar shake and piece of clapboard siding is individually cut to fit and glued in place, one by one.
Although not my choice of colors (those were chosen by Mrs. Pope) I think the overall effect turned out to be pleasing. Please enjoy the pictures.
May I present, The Pope Mansion, a Victorian Era, Second Empire dwelling that if it were full scale would have been built circa 1860!
