None of these pictures look life-size. They look doll house sized, I'll believe it when I see an object of identifiable size , banana for scale, to believe it.

Under-counter lighting was mentioned frequently in the novels. I love this, however.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

I heard they had two sizes of these buildings, one for normal sized people (Hobbits) and one for the "larger" elves.
