Return

Sometimes I start a setup and then abandon it for one reason or another. In the case of this one here, a few weeks ago I was inspired to use an old-fashioned claw foot tub from my childhood collection in my Lundby Stockholm with a soap dish from west elm as a decorative backing. I started to set it up, but then got distracted and left it until tonight.

As I was pulling the scene together I was reminded of some happy days playing around with this tub when I was ten or so...I had much less stuff and my taste has grown, but I had the same fascination with moving tiny things around and getting lost in them. I'm glad that has not changed!








Have a happy week!

Credits: Tub is from my childhood collection; backing is a soap dish from West Elm; "rug" is a coaster from Crate & Barrel; bench is a lucite drawer pull; stool is vintage German; planters, towel holder, and lighting are Re-ment; artwork is Bozart; mirror is from Jo-Ann Fabric. Accessories are Michaels, Manor House Miniatures, Re-ment, Barbie by Jonathan Adler, and AG Minis.

    I love that little tub! What a great item to still have from your childhood.
    The colors in this room are perfect for a bathroom, and the drawer pull gives it that sleek, modern feel. And of course, my favorite part-a little splash of red on the wall where the "medicine cabinet" would be!

      Hiya, Sherri! The tub really brought back memories. It's pretty well made to have lasted all these years! Glad you like the punch of red!

    Whenever I think about selling my Stockholm, you post a lovely scene in the structure. It makes me hesitate! I get so sentimental. Why can't I just let it go?

    Tee, hee. I'm amazed that you can let anything go. I think my family is afraid that they will find me buried under my minis one of these days...I am obviously in the "keep everything" camp!! Thanks for the props! :)
