VERO Deco

A few of my purchases from the Highstown Miniature Show have made it into a bedroom scene in my VERO. The Art Deco-style bed is very simple in form, and I like the black shiny lacquer finish. The galvanized tub worked nicely as a sleek receptacle for cozy blankets (actually scraps of fabric).






See the fireplace? It is part of the new modern line from Miniatures.com, as are the rattan stools, which I have used as bedside tables. The pieces are made of resin and so far I am pleased. The flames do not look entirely realistic up close, but do the trick from father away. And in the spirit of not-entirely-realistic, it is propped up against a column, which is not really a chimney!!

The flooring here is more of that shelf liner that I used in my Villa Sibi, when I (re)discovered Con-Tact adhesive paper. I like the texture a lot, but it does not sit flush with the floor and does not tack down easily; it curled a bit at the front edge of the room. Oh well. I tried not to show this in the photos :)

I was originally going to put artwork of some sort over the bed, but then I pulled out a piece of cardboard wrapped in decorative paper from the Paper Source...it was last used in one of my Umbra Fish Hotels as flooring. It came in handy as a decorative backdrop. Speaking of decorative backdrop, a Chilewich place mat conceals the mess of my worktable, outside the window!




Off to bed!

    1. Hi, Heather! Yes, this little trickery works pretty well! I'd like to live in some of my houses too -- especially when they are all tidied up ;)

  2. Cool bed! The HBS fireplace looks good with the faux chimney, very clever idea, warms up the room. I'm going to have to pick up the rattan stools, they look great in your room. Man, every time I see your Vero's I start checking out ebay again. Maybe one of these days I'll cave and buy one. For now I'll just keep drooling over yours. :P

    1. Hey, Mini Dork! The stools are definitely worth getting -- very good buy and versatile. I do love my VERO, but it still needs a bit of rehab. I've been trying to finish the main room downstairs.
