The Bar on the lanai or a lazy Sunday afternoon

This is the bar on the lanai of my assistant's parents' house. It is made from an old fiberglass surfboard.My assistant has a dollhouse that looks like her 1:1 house. I made it when my daughter was pregnant with her hoping she would be a girl. I saw a surfboard at the miniature show and had to have it. We plan to make a table with it for my assistant's dollhouse.My assistant's dollhouse has many design innovations. Some like the swingset in the livingroom could be quite useful in houses in oh say, rainy climates.Others, like the BarBQ in the bedroom, not so much...unless you like to roll things. Like it and the buggy. Then you can see they belong together. Perhaps you would like to try a buggy vs. barbque race at YOUR next party. Sure to be a crowd pleaser. Each miniaturist brings his or her unique perspective on life to the scene. :) Happy Sunday C

Thank your for joining my blog - that gave me the chance to do the same with your blogs... It's very convenient not to miss your newest posts from now on. I hope you can tolerate my lousy English, I had no chance for practising it for a long time, but I'm still able to understand it quite well and I hope you can get the meaning of what I'm trying to say... ;O)

Greetings from Germany

An indoor grill and swing set are novel ideas! Very cute!

BarBQ in the bedroom is a great idea, especially if you like something to nibble on before going to bed. Thanks for your cheerful stories about your lovely assistant, I'm sure she has a great future in interior design! (Or a small future perhaps?)
And that surftable looked great, hope you will show the 1:12 version to us when it's finished, preferably with Margaritas lined up on it :-)

Hi Sans, everytime I sit down to buy the Gottschalk reference book I order a new piece of modern furniture instead! What is a girl to do? Research or play??? A dilemma! C

My Realitty said...

Your Pubness, if I get the 1:12 bar done, we'll have a combined party as you are famous for yours. Cheers! and I mean that C
