Hello all,
Before I totally dismantle my building of the Sweet store..., I decided to
finish parts of it off and take some extra photos.
Sadly my camera is on up the creek without a paddle (hopefully get a new one for
Xmas :D) so sorry for the quality of some pictures… and the building is only
taking up space and collecting dust, so it is time for it to go…
It was originally built for the Frechen show in Germany, early 2006 (at the time
parts of it was not complete).
The size of it is due to the fact we were driving for several hours and it
needed to fit ‘snuggly’ into a large container.

The building consists of a sweet store, café, and a book store (I needed
something to use part of my collection of books for ;)). On the top level is
where the owners of the building and their family lives. The style behind that
(and sadly a rushed one due to time) is to kind of look like a
renovated/refurbished warehouse… It contains 3 bed rooms, bathroom, kitchen,
lounge room with children’s loft and a library on the mezzanine floor.
I have never done a Tudor style building before and building the style with the
limited amount of sizes that the light yellow brick comes in, made it
interesting to build ;) – But I think it looks ok?.
The building is not a replica of any other building, just my own plans… I had
fun with the sweet store as I love colours and tried to use as many as possible
(of course I have obtained some new colours since then! ;))…
Well, I think that pretty much sums it up… Thanks for reading!

| Wow, Melody, this is one of the most impressive combinations of exterior and interior buildings I've seen! The most ingenious details, to me, is the tiled floor of the sweet shop. Any idea if those tiles were intended to be "tiled" like that, with (...) (18 years ago, 13-Nov-06, to lugnet.build, FTX)
