Lego Parisian Restaurant–Night Four

Tonight we completed the third and final instruction book for the Parisian Restaurant!

The third floor of the restaurant is the artist’s studio, complete with skylights. It has paints (and an adorable Lego paintbrush), and an easel, two works of art, and a really cool kiln. The kiln shares the chimney with the fireplace on the second flood, and I really like the way it turned out:

The outside details were, of course, very nice, and very detailed:

The final product is amazing, from all sides:

And, joined together with the Grand Emporium, we have a real start to our modular street:

This is a beautiful set, and it was really fun to build. Next up, we’ll be working on my (early) birthday present…the Lego Pet Shop. Not sure when we’ll get started on it, but I’m really excited about that set, because of the way it splits down the middle…it will give our modular street a whole new look!

Lego Parisian Restaurant–Night Three

Tonight, we worked on book two of the Parisian Restaurant.

The second floor includes a restaurant patio:

But the main feature is the upstairs apartment, which is awesome from the Murphy bed to the fireplace, and everything in between!

The back is very detailed:

But when you put it together with the lower level, it’s even better!

That’s nothing, however, compared to the full (so far) front facade:

Only one more book to go, and then we’ll see how it really looks next to the Grand Emporium…we’re having so much fun!

Lego Parisian Restaurant–Night Two

We finished book one of the Parisian Restaurant tonight!

Two more minifigs were added to the cast of characters, and they’re important–the chef and the waiter:

The restaurant has a name, now!

I love the completed kitchen, especially the refrigerator:

We added tons of details, including furniture, curtains, and artwork:

The pillars out front were an interesting build, and look so cool:

And I really love the menu board by the front door!

There’s even a dumpster out back now, and a mouse very interested in the cheese that has been thrown out (I can’t help but think we might be building the restaurant from Ratatouille!).

The staircase leading to the upstairs was added as well…can’t wait to see where it goes!

This has been a fun build so far, and it looks really pretty with the unusual olive green bricks. I love a fun Lego project!

Lego Parisian Restaurant–Night One

We’ve had the Lego Parisian Restaurant since I gave it to Ryan for his birthday FIVE MONTHS AGO, but we just now started building it. There are three books, but the first one breaks in the middle, so this should be a four-night build for us.

We got started with the first three minifigs:

It doesn’t look like we accomplished much because the walls didn’t go up, but there are tons of details in the flooring (notice the “Chez” written in tile), and the kitchen!
