Everyone who looks at this photo will see a cozy and festively decorated living room, whose residents are carefully preparing for Christmas. Apparently, the picture was taken in Great Britain, in the exquisite house of noble ladies and gentlemen, who have two or three little children, whose toys are picturesquely laid out on the floor, and the walls are no less picturesquely decorated with classic paintings depicting ancestors of the same noble blood. And everything would be fine if not for a huge coin in the middle of the living room. Although … it's not a huge coin, it's just that the entire living room fits inside antique music cabinet … Designed by art spouses Kevin Mulvany and Susie Rogers, this amazing living room is a shared hobby of making these miniatures. At one time, the couple have already excited the public with miniature, but incredibly realistic copies of Buckingham Palace and Hampton Court. And for one of the holidays, in order to please both themselves and their three children, they created a tiny, but such a living house, which has long been inherited from generation to generation, and is a corner of antiquity in the modern world.

Isn't it true, this cozy living room, in which the fire crackles warmly in the fireplace, the decorations on the Christmas tree shimmer festively, candle lights flicker mysteriously, reflected in the walls of crystal glasses, looks ideal for celebrating Christmas with the family. There is not only furniture and decor on the ceiling and walls, not only paintings, carpet and candles. The authors of the miniature did not forget about such trifles as an open book on the floor by the armchair, empty cups left on the table, a toy train on the carpet … There is even a glass of wine for Santa and a carrot for his reindeer Rudolph by the fireplace. To whom you tell - they will not believe that all the interior decoration of the living room is made of fabric and dyed paper, foil and wire, wax and wood.

The couple spent about 400 hours creating both this living room in the music cabinet and the special atmosphere of Christmas and a fairy tale that everyone who believes in holiday miracles and is waiting for gifts from Santa dreams of. The sculpture is not for sale, but if you suddenly need to name a price, the work of Kevin Mulvaney and Susie Rogers was estimated at £ 7,000.
