LEGO FRIENDS OLIVIA'S HOUSE 3315

Product Information

The cutesy cat walks a death-defying tight rope along the vibrantly pink balustrade, and also serves as external decoration. The first impression you get from looking at the built set is: “wow, that really is kinda pink”, but if you look closer, and think about removing all the pink slopes and pink baseplates (which are not that many pieces really in a set this size) this could easily be transformed into.

As indicated in the inset on the back of the box, the contents are in numbered bags relating to the corresponding build.Overall, the bathroom furniture, including the great shower design, lives up to the furnishing in the rest of the house.

The lovely curved purple pieces make a gorgeous-looking sofa and comfy chair; I really do think these furniture pieces look stunning. Overall, despite being a rather large surface area on the back of the box, they’ve squeezed loads of information in, and managed to do so without it looking too crowded. I look at a lot of MOCs on Eurobricks, including (perhaps particularly) the buildings and I enjoy seeing new modular buildings people have created to fit with the now-legendary Grand Emporium and Green Grocer etc, but some of the most common questions asked in the discussion threads for these MOCs are “Does it have an interior? There's plenty of space outside to have a barbecue or look after the vegetables and see to a little gardening. Magenta (124 Bright Reddish Violet, the color of this set's roof) is a lovely color that I feel is terribly underused, with sets often opting for the bolder Dark Purple (268 Medium Lilac) or the brighter Dark Pink (221 Bright Purple).The shower is ingenious, and I just love the use of the trans light blue garage roller door pieces to form the shower screen. I'm not a big fan of that shade of pink (the darker pink is much more palatable, IMO), but the attention to detail is a huge plus in my book. The left side is bare, and the technic pins attest to the modular nature of the overall build – that this will be attached to another “module”.
