Entrance finished!

A month has gone already since my last blog entry! Enjoying outside was further up on my list than working on the house - but I did finish off a few things...

The advantage: it gave me a bit of distance from it all and I suddenly knew how to furnish and decorate so that it looks realistic.

Decided to use modern coat hooks and wall lamp as a contrast to the door

Look, I just unpacked the shoes home from Patricia Santi!
Tried to make the sneakers from Pepper - but that was even extremely fiddly.
So I settled for espadrilles...

It is the door from Pipi that makes it all so magic!
And all my baskets now found a home ...

And Francisco's lamp looks perfect on this commode.
Please note the electrical socket ... ;-)
(Staircase not attached yet - hence not straight)

New table lamps I made! My passion....

a lamps, of course...

with wood

with beads

with stone

Pictures for the lounge

Did the flooring on the upper floor using balsa strips - ready for decorating now

and I filled the dresser shelves

Does anybody have an idea how to make the tile roof (spanish barrel type)? The plastic sheets look terrible and real clay tiles are going to be too heavy. Gratful for any ideas..

Basket Galore!

So, I went a little crazy ...
But every Provencal house is full of baskets of some sort.

I found some great work on Etsy and via FB.
Here my pick:

These are from Louise Pendreich (U.K.) via her Etsy shop AuldReekieCrafts

The tiny ones are for my shelves (which I have not built yet..)

These are from Etsy shop WickerMiniature (Russia)

The scale is a little large for 1:12..

These are from Kamilla Dlugowlska (Italy) via her Etsy shop MiniaturesMad

Custom made for me!

These are made by me... after I found this fabulous material!

Thought I share this with you in case you are looking for great basket makers.
