For your amusement (and with pictures in the pictures), here is a scale model Lorraine built of a cottage she lived in from 1968 through 1972. First an overview, then a closer shot of her work area.

On the desk, her Hermes 3000 typewriter and her pack of Marlboros. On the corkboard, that's me at the lower right, a sometime boyfriend at the time. Next to me is Lee, known as Baby, a friend and sometime boyfriend of Lorraine's. Top center is Craig, known as Maharishi Scott Jello, friend of both of us and several times roommate of mine. Bottom left corner is Lorraine herself at the door to the cottage. Upper right are Kathy, a friend of Lorraine's from high school, and her then-partner Scott. Upper left is a repro print of St. Jerome in his study.

So detailed!!! I can’t believe that desk and chair and board. Look at you, you gorgeous thing! I’d really like a close-up of that bookcase.

Absolutely Fabulous. Those were the days when you got what pieces of furniture you could acquire but homes were so cosy and personal.

After seeing the new series in the UK of The Great Big Tiny Design Challenge where miniaturists get knocked out every week, I‘ve had to control the itch to do a little room to put on my bookshelf. Spent a week trawling through Pinterest looking at the amazing things people do.
