After some comments from my Director I have modified the birdhouse slightly: Firstly I have made it's stand taller and Secondly I made the boards on the roof look more rough in position.
Here is the current level of the garden chair I have been set to model. Like with the fence I used a bevel but in these images they weren't smoothed, so as to give it a more blocky look. I also put in an occlusion layer...
For my first bit or work for the gnomes project I have modelled a fence. For the edges of all parts of the fence I applied a bevel to give it a smoothish look.
