Miniature Kitchen with natural stone walls

I have been pottering around quite happily and my house is now starting to take shape.

First: 
the kitchen, which I did twice because I did not like the first more rustic version.. it somehow competed with Pipi's door.

...see what I mean?
Pierluigi's gas hob is perfect for a French country house and I was glad he gave me a couple of extra dials for the oven. For the first time I used these tiny LED lights from Nalladris. They are a little whiter than the ones I usually use but: they have white wire and no resistor I need to hide somewhere!

Second: 
made a few pieces of furniture
- A console in the entrance hall using the baskets I got from Louise Pendereich and lamp from Francisco.

- A country style dresser for the dining area. First bought this one but this was way too big for a private home - I never noticed that it was meant for shop furnishing;-). 


And third:
I completed all the wiring and things I needed access to - and then came the big moment where I could put in the ceiling!

Now, it was time to fit all the ceiling hanging lamps, especially my Ingo Maurer Zettel lamp!

The chairs are standard stuff: broke off the back, gave it an angle to make the chair more realistic, repainted and recovered. The table is standard as well but I only used the leg and made a new top. 



Great to share this diary with you all :-)

Kitchen

Things are moving slower than planned - but then life has its priorities.
Mine is the business at the moment. I am looking forward to the weekends with nothing to do.. but winter is in sight. Darn, I will miss the daylight for doing my mini stuff!

But I would like to show you some progress which dates back a while already. The kitchen turned out to be a real beauty:
Love the knives I bought at the Kensington Fair from Pierluigi Pirovano!

Details...

Looking in from the outside

... and sneak preview of the lounge corner ...

as long as the kitchen is tidy is is not bad to look at from the sofa either...
I did the kitchen fronts with foamed PVC, front for oven and dishwasher comes from Elf (ha, Roni and I now found out how to make these tiny knobs though...), lighting is nano LED, glass on the back of the working surface and sink&tap from my own 3D models on Shapeways (Evelin Klotz has an even nicer sink though..).

Once the bulbs are in the soil and we switched to wintertime - I am sure I have more time for my hobby again :-)
Next up is to complete the lounge/dining corner with all the deco stuff that goes with it, too.
BTW: I could do with a mini sewing or knitting basket - if anyone knows where I could get this...
