It's All Fun & Games

 
I managed to get a few somewhat decent shots of a family room scene that I put together last week. How did I piece this one together? Eh, let's see. First, I was inspired by how the main level of the Land of Nod knockoff house could be a basement setting. Then I was led by thoughts of cool parents who don't take life too seriously, collect pop culture trinkets and sometimes go to Comic-Con. Spy the CL4P-TP (Claptrap) replica in the corner? Someone in the house is a Borderlands fan--and it's not the kids.
 
 
The Goods: Modular coffee table is Fred; modular sofa is Momoll; play table and chairs are brinca dada; desk chair is Reac Japan; Claptrap is Neca; media cabinets are Urban Girl; bench is PRD; giant anglepoise lamp is Just Mustard; all accessories are MitchyMoo Miniatures, PRD, LiLu, Playmobil, Selecta, Kaisercraft, Lego, Nintendo, Bozart Toys, Munny World, MinisX2, Hape, Re-Ment, and other hobby and craft store finds.

    Looks like a fun place to live for a young family. Like the parents are still in transition between being kids and having kids.

      Thanks Steve!
      Is it bad to say that I feel like that parent in transition? Ha!

      Hello littleoslo,

      It doesn't look like I did get your email. I just recently got my email caught up. Sometimes I get behind in responding because of the volume, but I always respond, friend. Let me know your thoughts here or send another email to smallerhomes@gmail.com
      I'll be looking for it.

      Hey Marta!
      Thank you much. I'm glad people dig the scene AND glad that I took Mini Dork's advice to post it.

    What a fun play room! I wish I had a real basement like this one!

      Thanks Mad For Mod,
      Re: Basement = Me too, man--but they rarely have basements out here in CA. We share a large den as a family and it has all the pop culture tchotchkes and toys but I haven't given the room much flavor. I probably should though...

    Love it! Since I have two young kids, our entire apartment is covered in toys, some pop culture pictures/posters (and now my dollhouses) - but it does not come out looking as cool as this.

      Thanks Penelope!
      There's something oddly familiar about the description of your home...I feel like I live there...
      Yes, our place is full of toys too--but I'm not sure if the Mr and I or the wee ones have the most toys.
      Ha ha! ;)

      I got those Lego head containers from Legoland. They are actually salt& pepper shakers--however I cannot seem to understand how you put salt and pepper in it without making a massive mess. Much better used as storage containers in dollhouses. Ha!

      Hey Hunky Dory!
      I'm glad you dig it. If you ever come across the blocks, I do recommend the purchase, friend. The only bars I'm raising over here are chocolate bars...and I should probably stop doing that so often...HA!

      ;) Thank you

    Thanks Mary,
    To be honest, it has inspired me to redecorate our family space. Can't figure out what to do with all these dollhouses though...Smiles

    You can send your dollhouses my way. ;)

    Man, you seriously do the best kids rooms. I would make whole a house a kids space, if it could look this cool. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

      Thanks Megan! You flatter me and I do not deserve it. I actually need to redo the kids spaces in my own home. The kids' rooms always look like a tornado dropped Legos everywhere. I have this "everything in its place" system, but nobody under 5 feet tall cares...
