Last night while watching the finale of Downton Abbey (was anyone else as frustrated as I am with the lack of resolution within ANY of the story lines?) I took my own advice and built my own little
Petit Trianon.

It turned out pretty well although I wasn't able to figure out the wing walls for the courtyard elevation above (so I cut them off).

Much like the original, it's a little jewel box! I love the little parapet detail at the roof. If anyone else decides to build one, I would love to see the final result, especially if you figured out how the courtyard walls work.
