No minies day

After sleeping a bit later today than normal did the stables, walked the dogs for an hour in the woods I felt like doing nothing. We had today the most wonderful warm sunny day, but didn't feel like weeding at all or cleaning the greenhouse, so had a shower and watched Avatar. Then have been just blog hopping and looking around the internet for some minies.

Well, been thinking of the houses I want to do and the list is just growing and growing... But here we go:

1. Bakkery, already excists, a kit - blue, red, white - somewhere Eastern Europe, 1930's

2. Toscana house, already excists - white, cream, gray, greenish gray, black - Toscana, modern

3. Poe's house, combined Greenleaf Primrose and Orchid - black, gray, polished dark mahogany - US, 1870

4. Savannah house, Greenleaf Lily - mahogany, white, cream, blue, brass - US, modern

5. NY apartment, diy - cream, white, bottle green, black, wood - NY, modern

6. Russian house, diy - light wood, red, black, yellow, blue, gold - Russia, Siberia, modern rundown

7. Curiosity shop, diy - dark colours, smoky athmosphere, some Art Nouveau feel to it - early 20th century, somewhere in Europe

8. Black and white house, diy - black, white, gray - modern, no place

9. Gypsy wagon - wine red, gold, black, dark blue, bottle green, lots of embroidery - early 20th century, Eastern Europe, maybe with a witchy twist

10. Greenhouse, diy - well, greenhouse :) - UK, 20th century

11. Venetian villa, diy - stone, gray, red, gold, blue, green, all faded - Venetzia, 19th century

Well, that list should keep me busy :D

I'll do first the Toscana house ready, then just add small things to it and maybe a garden. Then I'll start with the Poe house and try to finish the Bakkery at the same time, there's just something wrong with the interior that I can't figure out what. The kitchen area is fine, but bedroom and shop area may need some new layout. I've started also to collect some pieces for the NY apartment and Russian house, I'll start with the NY apartement first. Lily has to wait, as it's so big and complicated to do that I need to get some of the smaller projects out of the way first. I do have some wallpaper ready for it, so I might do some of the walls ready. 

Here's my inspiration for the NY apartement, I'll see how much of it I can copy:

The apartment is fabulous work of Jean-Louis Deniot

Here's a table that I've bought for the NY apartment, the first piece of furniture for it:

It's fab work of Thomas Saunders

 

And here's a pic of a FAB dollhouse that I would so much love to try to do :)

Tomorrow I won't walk the dogs but work with my minies for the whole day, it's my free day :)
