Today's theme for #MiniJoyMonth: Story Time
Above: Girl's horror-circus themed bedroom: My Fairfield house has inhabitants who like a touch of Halloween and I thought it would be fun to use old circus "freak show" posters. Scroll down here for links to other rooms in the Fairfield. (Click photos for full size.)
Most of the projects have stories behind them, whether it's about the planning or deciding on an actual or invisible owner which helps in the decorating, etc. All these are half-scale (1/24th scale) houses.
(Below) Like in the Lavender Cottage: given the style, I decided it was a vacation home, which explains the double beds in the bedroom, etc. New photo! I'm still adding art and decorative items, but getting there...
The Witch's Cottage with its spooky visitors... well, the title says it all. ha!
Making up a small story helps cement what you want to do with the house and how it's decorated. Funny that being a writer, I haven't actually written short stories to go with the houses. Maybe that's something I should do sometime.
NOTE: Click the headline to comment. I'd love to hear where everyone is being referred from to give me an idea. (I saw the comment box the other day but now I can't find it... weird...)
