Making a Flower Shop

I'm making a shabby chic flower shop.

We are making a bakery in the Big Apple Miniaturists Club this year, but as you know, I already have a bakery. And although I certainly have enough desserts to fill a second bakery, I thought I'd make a flower shop instead with the small box. I painted the box white, while I was painting the bookstore walls white (because the box was supposed to be painted and wallpapered by our December meeting).

I found a scrap of flooring and used that. Because I'm going to build a counter along that back unit, you won't see the flooring gap. I used French blue to paint the door.

I just love the contrast of these two wallpapers.

Then I spent a day making the back counter piece. This is partially because I didn't plan it well in advance and I kept having to add more support. (Oh well.) I used this green fabric that was a scrap that someone had left in the "for free" pile at a club meeting. (And that is why it is hard as a miniaturist to throw anything out.)

I still need to find a faucet in my stash.  I know I saw one recently when going through it, so I've got a general idea of where one could be. Lol. The drawer handle is from #hbsminiatures. 

Anyway I am really happy with how it's turning out. 

All the counter items are from Robina of myminiatureabodes on Instagram as part of a Christmas mini swap. (The crown is for the castle). They are so perfect for my flower shop. And what was even better, I met her at the Philadelphia Show! So that was exciting. 

Hope everyone has a great week!
