That day at Marina Square, I chanced upon a contemporary gift shop, the playful and funky kind selling unconventional gifts like lava lamps, wall clocks and can-drink phones.
What excites me was the toy furniture on display. They are not 1:6 accessories but jewellery boxes in disguise. At $48 per piece after discount, they do not come cheap. But hey, who says the 1:6 hobby is cheap? Digressing. Since they look so intricate (look at the legs and ornament; pillows are included!!), I decided they are worth the price.
The jewellery compartment is well-hidden from sight. I probably have no use for the compartment except to store my 1:6 accessories. Well, let's see, should I hide the bazooka or the various rotting faux leather bags and apparel?
A bit of caveat emptor here. There are chairs/sofas/sofa-beds and they come in a few (near 1:6) scales, but they all cost $48. Which means you probably give the smaller furniture or the not so pretty ones a miss. I had a tough time choosing the scale. Based on experience, I tend to underestimate the scale for 1:6 furniture and my dolls will sit in an awkward position if they choose to sit (not like they have a choice .. lol). The Gold Leopard Sofa I bought is of the largest scale and the most intricate. This time my dolls will sit comfortably. :)
