Well Guys you are making me so proud now...
Especially coming from Playmobil Experts as I have really put a lot of thoughts and did extensive researches to select the right accessories and the flooring is no exception.
These are embossed tiles sheets in Blue & White for the Kitchen, Pink & White for the Bathroom and White & Black for the first floor lounge.
They work wonders and instantly transorm a set even without further accessories.
I am so glad you like them !!!

Many thanks Guys !!!
Especially coming from Playmofriends !!!
I spend long hours searching for the right item that will compliment a Playmo Victorian Set but never overshadow it and as I said before, it is a delicate balance to keep but I believe I am starting to get it right.
I was taken by storm by the international interests for my auctions on Ebay and the totally unexpected prices they reached but it is the People who help me realize they were special and proved that a dream can be shared.
I had a real pleasure preparing the sets down to the last accessory but had the greatest fun writing the introduction to these auctions with a Victorian flavour that was the result of me researching what made that Victorian Era so special...
For example, one of the sets was called A Nightingale at the Mansion as a celebration of Maria Malibran, the most famous Opera Singer of the Time, and I selected a gorgeous Red & Black dressed Figure with Feathered Hat and Jelwels to match and next I received a message from a Guy selling these figures on Ebay that he could not cope with so many people wanting Maria Malibran !!! To know that today's 5/7 years old are now asking their parents to buy them Maria Malibran will put a smile on my face for years to come as she really existed and was the original celebrity even by Victorian standards...
It definitely was an experience I will not forget !!!

That is a good story Karim! I know it had me looking her name up to see if she was a historical figure or an invented one and I enjoyed the process. Thank you for taking such care, your dioramas really become a learning experience, a window into another time.
