CINEMA SERIES ~ PART 3 OF 3

THIS IS THE LAST INSTALLMENT OF MINIATURES BASED ON MOVIES!

THE FINAL MOVIE MINI COMES FROM MY LOVE OF A PARTICULAR ROOM IN THE MOVIE "HOOK" WITH ROBIN WILLIAMS, DUSTIN HOFFMAN, & JULIA ROBERTS.

SO HERE'S THE SCENE THAT GUARANTEED I'D DO THIS ROOMBOX:

THE CHILDREN'S BEDROOM, SO PRETTY, SO MUCH DETAIL!!!

AND HERE'S MY VERSION! I LOVE THIS ROOM! THERE'S JUST SO MUCH TO SEE!

THIS PICTURE SHOWS THE ROOM WITH SPOTLIGHTS ON,  BUT IT'S REALLY THE SCENE IN THE EVENING AFTER CAPTAIN HOOK HAS TAKEN PAN'S KIDS OFF TO NEVERLAND. THAT'S WHY THE ROOM IS SO MESSY! 

HOOK LEFT THE DOORS OPEN AND THE CURTAINS ARE BLOWING IN THE WIND! BTW, I MADE THAT CHANDELIER IN A CLASS AT MY MINIATURE CLUB!

HERE'S A SCENE FROM THE MOVIE SHOWING THE MOBILE OVER THE BED AND THE PICTURE ASKEW. ALSO, NOTICE THE CUTE LITTLE NIGHTLIGHT, IT'S ACTUALLY A TINY BROWNSTONE BUILDING WITH A LIGHT BEHIND IT. I DUPLICATED ALL THOSE DETAILS IN THE MINI!

AND HERE'S MY VERSION. THIS IS THE LITTLE BOY'S SLEEPING NOOK. SEE THE MOBILE, THE LIGHT, AND THE WONKY PICTURE! I ALSO HAVE THE BED MESSY AND TOYS ALL OVER! 

CLOSE UP OF THE PINK CHAIR. I TOOK LIBERTY TO ADD THE CLOWN I MADE FROM BUTTONS AND A WOODEN BEAD! I THINK ADDING SOME PRIMARY COLORS TO A PASTEL ROOM IS A GREAT CONTRAST AND KEPT IT FROM BEING TOO FEMININE FOR THE LITTLE BOY TO SLEEP THERE!

NOW FOR THE LITTLE GIRL'S SIDE. I MADE THE BUNNY FROM A KIT, AND I SCRATCH BUILT THE TWO CHILD~SIZED CHAIRS! HEY, DID YOU NOTICE THAT THE BOY'S SIDE HAS A PINK CHAIR, AND THE GIRL'S SIDE HAS A BLUE ONE? THAT'S HOW IT WAS IN THE MOVIE TOO!

HERE'S THE DOLLHOUSE AND THE BLUE CHAIR FROM THE MOVIE.....

MY DOLLHOUSE FOR A DOLLHOUSE WAS AN UNPAINTED KIT FROM HOBBY BUILDERS. I ADDED TEENSY FURNITURE INSIDE, AND PAINTED EVERY LITTLE BRICK ON THE CHIMNEYS!

CLOSE UP OF BUNNY IN HER CHAIR!

THE FIREPLACE IS ALSO SCRATCH BUILT, WITH HAND PAINTED TILES AND MARBLE EFFECT!

I LOVED THE SOLDIERS IN THIS SHOT FROM THE FILM SO I KINDA COPIED THEM! 

I'M NO WOODCARVER, SO THIS IS AS GOOD AS I COULD MAKE IT! STILL, I LOVE THE DETAILS!!!

THE SHELF OVER THE FIREPLACE WAS A ROUNDTABLE KIT FROM A N.A.M.E. HOUSEPARTY. IT FIT PERFECTLY IN THIS ROOM! AND DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THE GINGERBREAD TRIM?! I HOPE SO!!!

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PIECES IN THE WHOLE ROOM! THE RUG IN THE MOVIE JUST FASCINATED ME! I COULDN'T SEE ALL THE DETAILS, BUT THE COMPASS WAS A DEFINITE! I ADDED THE SAILING SHIP AND ISLANDS, ALL MEASURED OUT AN HAND PAINTED BY ME! NOT BAD FOR A FIRST TRY!

THE LITTLE TABLES ARE COPIED FROM THE FILM TOO,  I ADDED THE TOYS FROM MY COLLECTION.

THESE WERE MY FIRST AND ONLY TRY AT TROMPE L'OEIL! THEY WERE PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE DRAPED FABRIC. 

I COULDN'T RESIST ADDING THE WEENSY JACKS AND THE YOYO!

AND FINALLY, THE MINI IS MEANT TO DEPICT THE ROOM AS IT APPEARED AT NIGHT. SOFT LIGHTING, AND MESSY FROM HOOKS VISIT. HERE'S A PICTURE OF THE ROOM WITHOUT THE SPOTLIGHTS, THE WAY I LIKE IT BEST....

SO PRETTY! 

I HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED VISITING THE CHILDREN'S BEDROOM, I KNOW CAPTAIN HOOK SURE DID! AND OH, IF YOU WANT TO RESCUE PETER PAN'S CHILDREN, TINKERBELL GAVE THE PERFECT DIRECTIONS:

"SECOND STAR TO THE RIGHT, AND STRAIGHT ON 'TIL MORNING........

NEVERLAND!"

SEE YOU THERE!
