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.
ReplyDeleteI love all the colors. The tiny vespas and tiny chair on the shelves are so cute! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteHoly 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!!!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. The books...
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteHi 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/
ReplyDeleteThis is a great scene. Wonderful use of colour.
ReplyDeleteA triumph!
ReplyDeleteIts all thing look too beautiful, colourful and amazing. You have done great job. Its so cute.
ReplyDeleteI like how you took all that stuff and all that color and pulled it together into this really cool scene.
ReplyDeleteHey 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
ReplyDeleteIt's a bead someone gave me a couple of years ago that they thought I could use...
I love that there's a backstory!
