Floor for the Tipsy Restaurant

[Tinybysiw]

Working on the flooring for my customized Tipsy Restaurant

Okay, this floor is actually driving me crazy The plan was to make a BLACK floor for the new pink/burgundy version of the kit… but under my work lamp it looks completely grey

Either way, I knew I wanted dark flooring to create a more elegant and dramatic atmosphere:
glossy wood flooring indoors
stone tiles outdoors

The floors are made from thin cardboard that I cut into shapes and glued onto the base before painting everything black. I then brushed pastel chalk over the stone tiles to create a stone texture and add more depth

The original kit had three completely different floor patterns, so I wanted to redesign it into something more cohesive and “boutique cocktail bar” inspired

Now I’m just hoping it actually looks black in normal lighting and not only under half the light sources on earth

This is some good work on customization here!! I know it’s gonna be great

[Tinybysiw]

I’m eager to see how it progresses.

I always love your customisations. I can’t wait to see the outcome of this. Your floor looks amazing already. Adding the floorboards really gives it character.

I like the look of this floor, it looks authentic. So you did a great customization so far. Can’t wait to See the next update

[Anje_Leonoza_Mira]

Wow. The effort for this is stunning. I love the black one, honestly.

[Tinybysiw]

Aww thank you so much!
I’m really excited about this redesign, even if the floor is testing my patience a little Can’t wait to show more of the progress!

[Tinybysiw]

Thank you so much!
I’m honestly really happy with how the flooring is turning out so far, even if the lighting keeps changing the color on me I’m excited to keep working on this one!

[Tinybysiw]

That honestly means so much to me
I always get nervous when I start changing things from the original kit, so hearing that really makes me happy! The floor took forever, but I feel like it already gives the whole build a completely different atmosphere

[Tinybysiw]

Thank you so much!
That’s exactly the look I was hoping for, so I’m really happy to hear that it feels authentic! I’m excited to keep customizing it!

[Tinybysiw]

Thank you so much
I honestly wasn’t sure about going with black at first, but I’m really starting to love the atmosphere it gives the build.

[Jo1]

I’m in love with the cardboard idea it added such a nice look to the floor (I might steal this idea if I customize my kits next time )

[Tinybysiw]

Hahaha please do
Honestly, the cardboard ended up working way better than I expected! It gave the outdoor floor a much more realistic stone texture without needing fancy materials I fully support stealing the idea for future customizations

[joy.licerio]

That’s pretty impressive!
I can imagine the tough work ahead.
I look forward to seeing your progress.

[Tinybysiw]

Thank you so much!
There was definitely a lot more cutting involved than I expected My back was honestly starting to give up on me by the end of it, but I’m really happy with how the floor is turning out so far

[Suzanne_Jones]

It certainly does. It has added depth to the room.

I think it looks great! It’s cool that you were able to customize this kit.
