This room was inspired by the plastic plant square that I picked up at the dollar store during Easter. I thought it would make a great plant wall, but this isn't the room I envisioned, so I will make another attempt at a later date, (TRANSLATION: you'll be seeing this plastic plant square again). I finally got around to making my first sofa and attempted to follow the tutorial by Pepper of MitchyMooMiniatures, but I detoured (almost immediately) from the tutorial because I suck at following directions, but it was a great guide. I used foam core and wood, and the wood was pre-cut, so it actually turned out to be a love seat. I need WAY more practice and I think I'll really try to stick to the tutorial next time (I'm sure it'll save a lot of time)! The credenza is a pimped out iPhone box. The coffee table is a bracelet topped with a mirror. The wall mirror is a painted purse handle. The chairs are CB2 painted chrome. The purple table is a hair product top. The assorted flower vases are pen parts. The white hanging pendant is made from paper. The rug is a napkin. I replaced the back of the Lekman box with a wine rack. My favorite thing of all are the colorful wine bottles that I ordered from an eBay seller in China and couldn't wait to get. Paper and accessories are from Michael's and HBS Miniatures. Well, I think that covers it.
Welcome to a few new followers! It's always exciting when someone joins in! I can never believe that someone actually interested in seeing what I'm doing.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Beany
Lovely! Especially the hints of purple. Well doen Beany!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jazzi! I know PUR-NUR-PLE is your favorite color!
DeleteI love the colors and design of this room, it is so fresh and lovely! I never would have guessed that the credenza was an iPhone box, and you did a great job on the sofa. This room really impressed me, thanks for showing it! Best, Neen (universe-in-miniature.blogspot.com)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I couldn't force myself to throw away the box because it's made so well. I've got one more to work with! The sofa is to be admired from a distance!! :)
DeleteGreat job. I love it all especially the hanging lamp. It looks just like Minimodernistas.
ReplyDeleteThank you! That hanging lamp also makes a great table base, which will be appearing soon! All my stuff needs to serve a double purpose!
DeleteYou've done a great job with the sofa. My tuts are a start but I love to see someone put their stamp on the idea.
ReplyDeleteI just love your sense of style and colour combos. The peacock paper is beautiful. Lovin' the purple and lime. I can't believe that's an Iphone box...very clever =0)
Thank you, Pepper! Your tuts are amazing and I'm glad there are people like you who have the patience to do them, and don't mind sharing! I just kept referring to the pictures. I'm all about the visuals!
DeleteI love your blog!

Thank you soooo much and I love yours too (and I'm not just saying that!) In particular, your sexy little Zula room will forever be ingraved in my mind!
DeleteThe hanging purple and green beads are so elegant. Purse handle frames, pen parts vases, iPhone box...I'm inspired. Now where did I put the box for my iPod touch. You must be having the most fun with this blog? I love the wimsy, the color, the creativity...you are adding so much to our 'little' community!
ReplyDeleteThank you, you're so kind! I am absolutely having a lot of fun! But, I think it's even more fun to see what everyone else is doing and there's the shopping aspect of it that I truly enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYour colors are fantastic! Love how fresh your rooms are. Wish I could move right in! :D
DeleteThank you Kathi! I do like that I can play with colors here, because you'd never see this in my house!
DeleteDas Zimmer ist zwar sehr modern.... aber die Farbstellung sehr stimmig. Gefällt mir wirklich gut.

Thank you Monika! I'm glad you like it!
DeleteI really love the colors you used for this scene:D!! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Ilona
Thanks! This shade of green is my second favorite color!
Delete(You are hilarious, you'll be up to 100s of followers soon, you're ideas rock.) This room is gorgeous. I think the sofa is great, I've made a few bad ones, I feel your pain. I keep meaning to do Pepper's tutorial as well. I love the color! The chrome CB2 chairs are fab, and I LOVE the hanging wall plant square thing. So many uses. Looking forward to seeing what else you do with it.
ReplyDeleteYou're too kind! I haven't had time to try another sofa yet, but I'm always thinking about it! It's much easier to think about all the things I want to try rather than actually doing it!
