Sherlock Holmes Booknook

I was listening to many Sherlock Holmes audiobooks recently, and watching DIY booknooks on YouTube. As I was looking for an idea for my next MOC, I thought : what about a lego booknook ? What about a nook about these books I was listening recently ? What would suit better on a bookshelf than one of the most popular detective characters of all time ?

So there it is : The famous 221B, Baker Street from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes novels and short stories.

It's a 9 studs wide, as a book nook should be, and figures the famous residence of the detective. 

The outer wall displays the whole canon of Sherlock Holmes, the famous silhouette and Doyle's signature.

The street side has been made to match the real building as accurately as possible.

The inside is divided into four stories : 

The hall with the staircase, with an umbrella holder, and hooks for the hats of our two friends. 

The second floor is the famous flat where are displayed elements from the books : the violin, the newspaper, and a comfy armchair.

The third floor is where Dr Watson's bedroom is located. I put a sofa there and a plant. 

Finally, the attic with boxes and crates.

I also hooked several old-fashioned portraits to bring more life to the build.

I think this would make a great set as it would please a lot of fans; those who are looking for an elaborate build, and the amateurs of literature. It would also be a way for children to discover these iconic characters.

The book nook is a fantastic addition on a bookshelf, bringing the characters to life between the books they appear in.

The accessories allow for a great diversity of ways to display the minifigures.

The small drawer in the base of the build is a convenient addition, allowing you to store items like the magnifying glass, Dr Watson's suitcase of even the hairpieces if you want Dr Watson and Mr Holmes to wear their iconic hats.

I sincerely appreciate you will enjoy my idea and support my project ! Thank you very much !
