Hands Craft | Sakura Wine Alley

I've never done a book nook before, but the tiny eatery counter and all those little lanterns came together way better than I expected. Took me a couple evenings and the wiring for the lights was fiddly, but now it glows on my shelf and everyone who sees it asks where I got it.

The little lanterns actually light up and the alley looks amazing on my shelf between my Murakami books. Took me two evenings to assemble and the instructions were clear enough that I never got stuck.

The mini alleyway went together over two evenings, and the tiny eatery counter is my favorite detail — the little bowls are absurdly small but painted cleanly. Only gripe is that some of the thin railing pieces were fiddly to snap in without bending.
