I found the Lekman quite airy and light, and you can really make it look quite spacious.Next time I think I will try to hide more the fact that this is a box, especially the joints around the perimeter. Oese has used hers a lot and comes up with creative ideas to change up the space. Lots of possibilities here -- anyone else use a Lekman lately?
Credits: Tootsie Roll couch is minimodernistas; chairs are Reac; table is vintage Bodo Hennig; light is a floor lamp from my Mom's childhood collection; plant is AG Minis; baskets are napkin holders from Crate & Barrel with a natural sponge; flooring and wall covering are from a scrapbook paper pad, "Downtown Loft" by DCWV. Accessories: pillow and water bottle is Re-ment, bowl is vintage German, and magazine is handmade by The Shopping Sherpa.
The time it took me: 11 minutes (not including the setup of the box, which took about 10 minutes).
I'm a huge fan of that particular DCWV collection. No big news there. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI love the lighting on these photos. I might have to try that Lekman. Lovely, Call Small!
Yes, it's a great stack. Should have bought some more! The lighting really shines through here. I would like to experiment some more.
DeleteLove the symmetry of your design. Great colors too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to DCWV! I found several collections that I really like. Including the one you have used here. :D
Thanks, Kathi! Glad you like the papers; DCWV has some nice ones and there is a whole world of 'em out there. I wait for the sales and then snap them up ;)
DeleteA beautiful space!
ReplyDeleteI love the subtle colors and the luminance of the walls.
Thanks much! I definitely wanted the colors to be as warm as the light.
Deletewelcome to the Lekman club!
ReplyDeleteIts a beautiful residence.

Hi, Neomi! Glad you have fun with yours too! I am looking forward to using mine again.
Deletegreat work and choice of the pieces! I really like it! and less then half an hour to make it!
ReplyDeleteAna
Yes, Ana, this *had* to be a quick scene because the light was fading. :) I grabbed pieces from other houses and did it all very speedily! The box is pretty easy to set up too.
DeleteI had a Lekman, until I dropped it on the corner and it died =0(
ReplyDeleteI like that it lets all that light in for photographs and that the cut-outs look like modern windows.
Liking the earthy colour scheme
Whoops, Pepper, sorry to hear that! Perhaps you might consider another? Yes, the box lets in just the right amount of light, and the windows are a bonus. :)
DeleteWhy thanks, Angie! The paper definitely helps to liven up the space. I always wonder if I would take the leaps in 1:1 as I do in 1:12...I guess I could be convinced to go with a leaf wall mural. Especially if I didn't have to paint it. That would *not* look good at all! :)
ReplyDeleteLike I said, your rooms look effortless! I love what I've seen everyone do with this box, so I bought one and I'm in total agreement about the positives. I posted some pictures today and a couple weeks ago, so please have a look see! Beany
ReplyDeleteThanks, Minis-B! Nice work yourself! :)
DeleteThis is fantastic! I love how everything goes together and the simplicity of it all. Wish I could move right in!
ReplyDeleteThanks much, Junebug! Wish I could shrink down to live there too ;)
DeleteIdea fantastica e ambientazione come sempre perfetta e deliziosa...sono bellissime le sedie!
ReplyDeletecomplimentissimi!!!

Angelina
Grazie tanti, Angelina! Sono contenta che ti piaccia la scena e le sedie. Essi sono i miei preferiti! Grazie per aver visitato!
DeleteI recently bought a Lekman box too. It's the perfect size for mini scenes! I love what you did here.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's a nice, compact way to create some fun with minis!
DeleteWhat scale furniture do you recommend for use in a Lekman box?
ReplyDeleteHi, Meghan! The box is quite high but narrow, so I think 1:12 works best. But the possibilities are pretty endless, since it is a raw space. I think you might have trouble with playscale (1:6), though. Have fun!
