Like many mini people I am attached like a limpet to 1/12 scale.
Then I saw this 1950-60s Mattel vintage Barbie furniture. After I got it I realized it is Slightly smaller than 1/6 but was too big for my 1/12 houses.
Hence the undertaking of the I House. The lamp is from the Jonathan Adler Collection and originally hot pink. I have two and painted one orange and one black.
Here is the picture in color. Love that '60's Orange. So this is the direction I want to go in for the I house.
Sindy lamp after with minimodernistas chair. Love change!

I'm so curious about what kind of paint you use on things like the lamps. Would you mind sharing the info?
Usually I use spray paint for plastics, but with the orange lamp I couldn't wait so I used acrylic water color paint from the tube and it made a nice texture and some of the hot pink shows through.
The nice thing about miniatures is...the paint you do buy lasts a long time. :) C
Black lamp is fantastic!
