Modern Dining Room...with a Catch

click thumbnails for larger pics

This dining room has all of the elements that we love: a rectangular dining table with beautiful, visible woodgrain; industrial pendant lamps; white mid-century upholstered chairs; bold artwork and simple, spare accessories. So why would it be impossible for us to live in?

Well, it's tiny. Not in a bang-your-shins kind of way, but in a lilliputian kind of way. The dining room is a set in Altera's Mini World, a modern dollhouse blog. Now if we could only create a full-scale version for the same price!

those chairs are actually real designs copied to mini-sized versions. Those chairs are called the Organic Chair by Vitra. They are great but they cost quite a bit of money

Trying to figure out what the "catch" is in the modern dining room.... It scares me and makes me want to drink. "Is the catch what happened in the back of my throat when I saw the picture?" ( I actually didn't say that- my friend looking over my shoulder while I type did. He is mean).

i had the feeling they were miniatures from the background which looked like shelf partitions. i love the lamps! are those miniatures of actual lamps, too?

I instantly knew it was in miniature - I have that exact same miniature lamp! Love the chic dollhouse posts :)

LOL - I was about to ask for a source for the pendant lamps. :-)
