Almost Christmas! My Creatin' Contest 2017 Entry

It's that time of the year again where we get ready for new year's resolutions. From what I experienced in the last year, it's now official that:
- I do work too much
- I need more time for miniatures
- I need to catch up with blogs

So in 2018, I'll work towards that. Nevertheless, using every single free moment since May - with lots of patience from my husband's side - I was able to finish my latest miniature project and could send in the Creatin' Contest entry pictures on time! Woot woot!

I can't wait to see all the stunning projects that people have sent in. Here are some pictures from my entry: "A Writer's Retreat"...


In this living room lives a writer, who loves to write thrillers. She has decorated her house influenced by Moroccan architecture. She loves reading and has a wast collection of books. She spends hours getting lost in a new exciting story with a glass of red wine. Unfortunately she smokes also a lot, but at least there are big windows. (Ilona, your gorgeous Magnolias gave this scene the perfect touch, thanks!)




Wishing good luck to all entrants and have a great weekend!
Hugs,
Susi

      Thank you Elizabeth! I actually spent so much time for the interior, that I did only half of the things I wanted to do for the exterior. But maybe sometime in the future I can rework it a bit. Thanks!

      Thank you Brae! I feel like I do not stand a chance seeing the amazing job that others and especially Kristine has done :) But it is a good thing - more motivation for next time!

    Wow! So so many amazing elements here Susi! I love the filled book cases and shelves. Really those shelving units look straight out of an architecture magazine!! The whole home is such a gorgeous blend of old and modern. I really like the colour scheme too. The way you added an extension to increase the layout makes the whole like looks super spacious and open. Just amazing!

      Thank you so much Kristine! I really wanted to give it more space and the only way was to increase the layout, but regarding design and all the rest, I still have so much to learn from you :) Your work is amazing...

    Great resolutions!
    The house looks wonderful, love the modern bathroom and kitchen and then a bit more eclectic in the writer's room.

      Thank you Josje, I'm such a fan of your work. Actually I think we live pretty close to each other. I'm in Amsterdam and I would love to meet you at one of the next fairs in the Netherlands! :)

      Thank you very much Janine, it was such a blast to create this project. I really like it, when there is a story behind the scenes I create, I think it gives it another charm.
