Kristel Posted March 10, 2014 Hi everyone! I'd like to present my latest modular building, the "Blooming Blossoms". The building is named after the florist on the ground floor. I had a lot of fun with the florist. It's no secret that I love flowers, but this is the first time I've actually gotten around to doing florist. It feels like this one has been on my "to do" list forever! The florist has extended with a little garden room to house the exotic plants that need a little more sunlight and warmth. The first floor of the apartment has a little kitchen, eating area and comfy sofa. No TV - hence, the reading lamp behind the sofa. The upper floor has a small bed and writing desk, as well as a bathroom with old-fashioned chain flush toilet. More images on flickr! Thanks for looking. C&C welcome!

lightningtiger Posted March 10, 2014 Wonderful modular 'Kristel'........I like all the interior detailing.......especially the loo, very old fashioned (I never thought of doing a loo that way......mind if I take inspiration ?) Brick On 'Kristel' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orange Leader Posted March 10, 2014 I really like the veranda; a little but very sweet detail to this modular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOrcKing Posted March 10, 2014 Yet another nicely inspirational MOC of yours, Kristel. Clean lines, good choice in colors, and great design all-around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eurotrash Posted March 10, 2014 Fantastic! Chock-a-block full of lovely details and it has your usual classy facade. Another winner! The detail that made me smile a lot was the lampshade - the use of that piece was very evocative of a tassel covered shade that seemed to be in every house in the UK in the 60's.

TheLegoDr Posted March 10, 2014 Yet another great build. I love the sunroom area in the florist. Even if I didn't have a florist, I'd want to incorporate that into my modular somehow. The archway next to the cash register is very neat. Adds a lot of character to that store. The apartment kitchen is superb! I might put some upper cabinets in mine, but otherwise it was going to look a lot like that. It's just nice to see how it would look in the brick. My only qualm would be the countertop color matching the floors. But in reality it isn't that big of a deal. The bathroom is creative. I've never seen one of those old fashioned toilets. I like the use of the cape as a shower curtain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tedbeard Posted March 10, 2014 Delightful. The bathroom on the top floor is especially well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeanM Posted March 10, 2014 You're one of the best modular builders out there Kristel. Very unique structure with great interior design. Love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MusicaRibelle Posted March 11, 2014 I feel I learned a lot just by looking at the pictures. The details are lovely, it's the essence of good design: in a relatively small space, you got all the essential pieces of the apartment and of the florists, and it all looks good and well matched, yet it's still whimsical and personal, not just barely functional or barebones. Congratulations and thanks for the inspiration! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevin8 Posted March 11, 2014 Each time you can surprise me with such nice details... I love the rear of the building... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks, everyone, for the kind words. It means a lot to me! Wonderful modular 'Kristel'........I like all the interior detailing.......especially the loo, very old fashioned (I never thought of doing a loo that way......mind if I take inspiration ?) Brick On 'Kristel' ! Thanks LT! Take all the inspiration you want! Great! Love the greeenhouse! Each time you can surprise me with such nice details... I love the rear of the building... Thanks, SalvoBrick and Mauro. It's one of my favourite parts of this building. I had that greenhouse extension design in my head for ages, just needed time for the rest of the building to develop around it! Fantastic! Chock-a-block full of lovely details and it has your usual classy facade. Another winner! The detail that made me smile a lot was the lampshade - the use of that piece was very evocative of a tassel covered shade that seemed to be in every house in the UK in the 60's. Thanks eurotrash. I wanted this apartment to have a older feel to it, like a little old lady lives there who refuses to update her possessions to the current century. Hence, the lampshade, no TV, the old fashioned toilet and the writing desk without a laptop or computer. Yet another great build. I love the sunroom area in the florist. Even if I didn't have a florist, I'd want to incorporate that into my modular somehow. The archway next to the cash register is very neat. Adds a lot of character to that store. The apartment kitchen is superb! I might put some upper cabinets in mine, but otherwise it was going to look a lot like that. It's just nice to see how it would look in the brick. My only qualm would be the countertop color matching the floors. But in reality it isn't that big of a deal. The bathroom is creative. I've never seen one of those old fashioned toilets. I like the use of the cape as a shower curtain. Thanks LegoDr! Incorporate away. I think the matching colours for the countertop and flooring isn't a big deal as long as there is more colour overall in the room. I feel I learned a lot just by looking at the pictures. The details are lovely, it's the essence of good design: in a relatively small space, you got all the essential pieces of the apartment and of the florists, and it all looks good and well matched, yet it's still whimsical and personal, not just barely functional or barebones. Congratulations and thanks for the inspiration! Thanks! It means a lot to me that I can give some inspiration back to this great community. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redhead1982 Posted March 14, 2014 This is another great modular from you, Kristel! Well done. I didn't have time to comment on it earlier, but I looked at the pictures several times already. The white detailing on the front facade looks lovely. As for the interior, it's your style all over. I like the versatile collection of flowers and plants at the florist's.

Yooha Posted March 15, 2014 Very lovely flowers and plants there! The whole house looks nice, but that is the highlight for me What would be even greater is to builda small garden to the roof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
