Le Marché - A Corner Department Store

 Inspired by Andrew Tate's Kahuka's Koffee, I decided to make my own scaled-down version as a corner department store.

Le Marché

With menswear displayed in the windows on one side of the ground floor and women's fashion options on the other, the exterior gives a hint of the fabulous finds inside. 



The second floor is loaded with housewares - everything from stand mixers and dishes. The top floor holds the furniture section where discerning minifigures can shop for the latest sofa, coffee table or bedroom set.

Elmo's bed is anchored to the floor with tiles serving as the legs of the bed.  The chunky posts on the headboard are a little too chunky for my liking. I prefer the recessed pillows on Bert and Ernie's beds I disconnected Elmo's bed from the floor and attached feet to the bottom so the bed is now movable. I also swapped out the posts on the headboard for a less chunky version that better suits my style.  Finally, I swapped the light azure blanket for a dark azure build using curved slopes with recessed studs that leave room for the pillow to sit down a bit. I also prefer the white pillow/sheet line separating the headboard from the bedspread. You'll find step-by-step ins...
