pet project: the mexican bar and some new arrivals

I've been thinking about making some sort of bar for the girls and boys to meet, at first I was planning to buy all the pieces and then try to make it look as good as possible.

Then I had an idea: what about making the whole thing by miself? I was inspired by Dani's wonderful works, as she moslty uses cardboard, and I'm a dog using wood!

I have this  black box form IT, a  medium box  and toilet paper rolls and several scraps of cardboard

a nice jewel box which can pass for a woden table, and wood looking contact paper

I also kept the "mirror cardboard" from the Colour Infusion packages.

Here I can visualize: a bar counter, a shelf unit for bottles and glasses, a serving counter for food, a table, bar stools, low stools and a couch!

I had to order something:

mexican fabric for the seats

mexican tiles to decorate the whole thing

 


Then I've found a whole set of Gloria liquors, and I already have some great miniatures by Dawn Anderson for the Happy Hour food

I also ordered some more goodies   by SandSsweetMiniatures, I needed some oysters and shrimp cocktail.

I don't know yet how it will turn out, but I've started planning...

in the meantime I'm busy like a bee with the new guys' clothes.....trousers, trousers and more trousers!

you can see that Giulio is wearing (for the time being) an IT Hommes shirt

And the furniture for the sewing atelier have arrived from Russia!

I've got a lot on my hands! more sneak peeks in August!
