I've been eyeing some of the #LEGO sets geared toward adults (like the floral arrangements or the modular buildings), but have managed to hold off because I don't have anywhere in my home to display them, and don't need more Stuff.
But then, when I was talking to a coworker yesterday, I noticed he had two of the LEGO succulent sets on his windowsill, and I realized: I'm a therapist. I have an office that could use some tasteful decor.
That might be the crack in the dike...

•They're so good, but they're also a thing that you end up wanting more of when you have some ("the correct number of bikes to own is one more than the number you have now"). So... be wary, but also I am here to enable you. 😜

what is this impulse

•I was debating with my wife whether there was room for the jazz club on my shelf or not. I have the Botique Hotel, the Bookshop, Assembly Square and the sketch up a MOC apartment building that I haven't touched the design of in like 2 years... There's technically room on the end to scoot things down and put the Jazz Club in, but I'd have to find a new home for a spaceship that just hangs out at the end of the block...

•I am now imagining a LEGO city that has bikes and buses and light rail. 🤩

•Let's see, we have a modular building row in the bedroom with the Diner, BookShop, Assembly Square and Parisian Restaurant, Floral sets up the wazoo (Succulents, Sunflowers, Bouquet, Orchids), and two casual living room bookshelves filled with sets and MOCs (A nifty Sebulba's Pod Racer, the War Rig, an Imperial three mast ship), a Lamborghini Sià n FKP37, a few Technic sets, etc...
I can provide pictures on request.

•I petered out on my apartment building MOC because I didn't know what I wanted to do with the roof. Which forestalled my doing any of the interior decorating, either. What's ADHD? Why do you ask? /s

•Also, the 11yo got that Groot for Christmas just recently. The cassette is a neat build.

•...it turns out, it only takes a gentle push to turn me into a city-building, model train enthusiast, of a sort. 😅

•It's a bit disorienting to realize that if I came into $500 this instant, I'd have to really try hard to persuade myself not to just buy $500 worth of LEGO sets.
