Scandinavian Mini House

(hand made miniature wooden storage boxes in the foreground)

Brinja, who lives in Copenhagen and makes jewelry, decided to make a mini home of her real apartment, which is divine and has featured in magazines. 


What could have come across as an act of decorative egomania is instead rather wonderful.



It is not an overly ambitious house, as it only has two rooms (for example she has not included a kitchen), but there is still a lot of detail, particularly in the wall of shelves you can see to the left of the photo below. 


It works because she has such special little pieces around her home.  Like this yellow cot, which has been faithfully reproduced (it was made for her by a reader in Poland, how sweet is that?)



Here is her dining area, in actual size and miniature.



And here is one of her chairs, sitting behind the miniature replica she made. 



Brinja began her blog in 2008, when she had already started her mini home, so it is a bit hard to work out why she began the project.   But now of course every time she buys a new item for her home she has to make a new mini one to match.. 

To see the whole project, visit her here.
