I was reading my blog feeds over lunch and Ellen Giggenbach's blog inspired me to try something I've never tried with a scene before. A riot of bright Scandinavian retro-style colours:
I even came up with a backstory involving a designer who works and lives in a tiny studio apartment who has invited three friends round for a celebratory lunch.
This scene took forever to complete. Not only was I racing round the house trying to gather all the relevant pieces from various other houses, but filling the shelving unit was incredibly fiddly. Just as I thought I had everything safely arranged something would fall over, fall out, or just decide it wanted to be moved to another spot.
I liked the end result so much I just had to pull the blind and try some "night" shots:

It looks fabulous! I love the mix of colors. I think this is my favorite that I've seen of yours.
I love all the colors. The tiny vespas and tiny chair on the shelves are so cute! Nice job!
Holy smokes, you are on a roll. Yay, you found your books!! The shelves look fantastic. All of the boxes look great, I love how you styled everything. The primary colors really pop and I love the birds on the wall. So cute!! ❤ it!!!
Ah, yes. The books...
I found them in the Stockholm swimming pool from where I was making a scene in the house. :-}
I would definitely live there. . . reading the Bauhaus book, with the lucky cat looking out for me! Did you make those books? And, please tell me where you got that tiny lucky cat?
Hi Neen: The cat came from the last Canberra mini show. I think it's a pretty standard piece: I got mine from The Doll House's stall: http://www.thedollhouse.com.au/
This is a great scene. Wonderful use of colour.
A triumph!
Its all thing look too beautiful, colourful and amazing. You have done great job. Its so cute.
I like how you took all that stuff and all that color and pulled it together into this really cool scene.
Hey there's a neat looking ball on the top of the shelving unit. Is that just a weird marble or is it a mini of some sort?
Hi Kyle
It's a bead someone gave me a couple of years ago that they thought I could use...
I love that there's a backstory!
