I started designing Ledge Village back in 2013 when I created my first little set for the ledge in my laundry room. Over the years I have added many, many more buildings and the village has grown. This year I have revisited Ledge Village because of an idea presented on Pinterest by Cheryl Leclaric. She put one of my Ledge houses into a shadow box and I was impressed. So I went to work with a new house and lamppost. The first house I designed was Tudor Manor and it ended up being too large for the space. I then designed the taller, narrower Porch House to use in a Christmas Eve Shadow Box.
This shadow box uses a standard (12 x12 exterior) shadow box I purchased at Amazon. I also got LED fairy lights which I added to it because it just looks beautiful when you light it up!
But I still had Tudor Manor which I hadn't used. So I needed to do more. I went on to update the Tower House and thought about a new display. I knew it would look marvelous on a fireplace mantle but I like many don't have one. And then remembered the crown molding photo ledges I use to display photos in the guest room. And I started building a new little village.....
And The new Tower House v2 has improved engineering.
But the thing that makes the village charming is the new illuminated lamp posts.
I am now going to have to find a new photo ledge solution for the guest room because I love this new Ledge Village so much it is going to be displayed in my office!
Ledge Village assembly tutorials are here.
The original Ledge Village buildings were not designed to have LED lights installed. I have added a tutorial on how to add lights to these original files here.
Happy crafting everyone!!
