The Palms is a Floridan Mediterranean Revival style house designed by Pam Scott, originally for 1:48 scale. Later she also made a 1:144 scale version, and published the 1:144 scale how-to's in Little Enough News, volume 4, issue 5. As you can see in the 1:48 scale section, I'd already built it in 1:48 scale, but still I couldn't resist building the 1:144 scale version too. It was my first 1:144 scale structure. I'm sloooowly getting it furnished.
The bedroom. My first attempt at designing 1:144 scale furniture.
The mirror is made from full-scale self-adhesive plastic mirror material found in an art supply & home decorating store. I found it among the other rolls of self-adhesive plastic, sold by the yard. The staff said it's used for making mirrors on board small boats. When the backing and the protective foil at the front are removed, the actual mirror material is only 0.25 mm (about 1/128") thick, so it's extremely thin. It cuts easily with scissors and craft punches (I used a 1/4" round punch for this mirror).
I tried to put a doll next to the mirror to show how excellent the mirror effect is, but then I couldn't get a good photo. But at least the perfume bottles show in the mirror!
