Modified Lepin 15010 Parisian Restaurant Modular (Not Lego)

I bought my first Lepin 15010 Parisian Restaurant in 2016 and then bought another Lepin Parisian Restaurant in April 2017, because it was on sale.   It's since been built it and re-built it several times, and here's how it looks today.

The second Parisian restaurant is now the new home of a recording studio on the main floor and a music store on the second and third floors. 

Before we look inside, let's review the changes made to the exterior front facade from top to bottom.  The clamshells on the third floor never closed properly for me, so they have been replaced by round tiles.

On the second floor, the center doors have been replaced by another bank of windows.  My spare brick stash didn't have another arch so I just added some different detailing over the windows.

Leading from the first level to the second level, I changed the external staircase colour from brown to gray and bricked in the front windows.

On the back side, not much has changed on the third level, but the on the second level, the door has been relocated to the side of the building.  The veranda is still there sitting atop the enlarged first level.

The most major structural change is on the main floor, where the back wall swings open to reveal the interior of the recording studio.  Sorry, the yellow bricks above look really crappy due to different brick brands and quality.  Hope to change those out one day.

I designed the rear walls to swing open yet still have enough support to hold up the floors above.  The swing walls make it so much easier to access the interior spaces, if I need to move brick pieces around.  It helps for picture taking too.  The old restaurant's interior of kitchen and dining room are long gone.

Inside the recording studio, we've got a band with 2 guitarists, one on keyboards and another on drums.  The music sheets have butterflies on them because they come from a Friends set (fake lego of course).   Green hair girl does the vocals as evidenced by the microphone.

Here's a closer look at the drum set-up.  I googled Lego drum sets to get the inspiration for my own drum set.  Hopefully it looks acceptable.   Unfortunately it's hard to see the keyboardist in the back corner under the stairs.

The other side of the recording studio has a really annoyed sound engineer being disturbed by one of the members of the KISS band (maybe Peter Criss?) who decided to come over and hang out for the day.

Those uncomfortable chairs need to be replaced with a nice sofa set.   Gene and Ace agree.

The last member of the KISS band, Paul is outside donating money to the guy who's down on his luck.

A few days ago, the new music store had it's grand opening and here's all the peeps that showed up to check everything out.  On the second floor, I got rid of the murphy bed and fireplace and moved the door to the side wall.  New black and white flooring was added.  The music store has a piano, a selection of guitars (thanks Coco!), and a small set of drums.  I took out the front wall so it would photograph better.

With the front wall added back on, the music store feels really claustrophobic, but hey, the rent is cheap.

Here's a closer look at the drums for sale.

An upright piano at the far end of the store.

Surplus musical instruments are stored on the top floor, where the artist's studio used to be.

Well, that's it!  Please let me know what you think of the recording studio and music store.  What do you like or don't like and how can it be improved?   Let me know in the comments, thanks!
