Today’s post is full of details, which is easily my favorite part of building. I really enjoy focusing on all the tiny parts (not you, plants) and then assembling everything in the final stages.

So here’s the bar counter! :hot_beverage: It’s probably my favourite part of the build so far. :pink_heart: The original kit was green, but I decided to go with brown and added some Studio Ghibli posters. I took a bunch of close-up shots, since I know I’ll hardly ever see all the details once it’s behind the wall. :face_holding_back_tears:

I also swapped out the bright yellow fabric on the coffee table for a muted green. With the walls already painted yellow, it felt a bit too much. Yellow isn’t a colour I would normally choose but the building I took inspiration from is yellow. :paintbrush:

Here are some of the things I’ve customised:
I replaced the original menus with some Studio Ghibli food.

The awning that came with the kit was just a piece of blue paper. I replaced it with red felt and drew the white lines myself with a marker.

I transformed my blue sunhat from the Mini Maker’s Challenge into a straw hat inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle. :woman_s_hat: Here’s a reference photo - close enough!

I dont even know what studio ghibli is but I hear you guys talking about it all the time. I love that you brought this into your kit. Your details are really special now! and more meaningful for you! I love that you converted some other things like the hat.
and I am like you. Sometimes I just need to change something to make it more to my taste, like wall color, or floor, or furniture!
