Setting up a fun scene with the re-ment miniature kitchen set. Fun photography with a tiny messy kitchen. More Re-Ment goodies came in the mail over the weekend, so I had to set up a scene of course! The item that came in was the Re-Ment Red Kitchen Display, which I bought from Amazon. I do wish they had the white set because white would be more versatile than red, I think. I set up the scene with the c...
The modern dollhouse bookcase project is now complete and set up in a scene with Japanese Re-ment accessories. The bookcases are done! I just finished finishing the bookcases I am super pleased with how they turned out. With that, I decided to give it a whirl with some Re-ment goodies that I had laying around. This picture makes me look like I have giant man hands, but I don’t! It’s just to give you an idea ...
A miniature dollhouse bookcase in a modern, minimalist design, inspired from a similar bookcase designed by Randall Craig. Still making stuff. This time, its a project inspired by a Barbie sized Randall Craig bookcase in a photo taken by Michael Williams of MAWPhoto.com. I forgot who actually had a blog post on Michael Williams’ work, but I had book marked his flickr page a while back and have been enthralled by his pho...
Showing off my messy workspace where miniature dollhouses are made. Snapped this picture a while ago of my workspace in the dining room. I’m sure you can pick out a few items from previous posts and projects. I had since moved down to the basement due to my family complaining about my minis taking over. I’ve been getting fairly comfortable down there. But it had rai...
Creating a miniature circle table dining set, inspired by Ikea's FUSION set. Handmade with wood. This was the post that I’ve started and couldn’t find the time to finish it. I’m getting off my lazy butt now…. I am currently in the “making stuff” phase as a way procrastinating from finishing the Coventry Cottage \shifts eyes\ and I thought I would show you the current project I am working on. Th...
The steps I go through to Make a Miniature Modern Twin Bed from scratch. One of the things I’ve started doing after picking up my dollhouse obsession is browsing through various online shops for furniture or room decor for inspiration. The folder now has over 200 images in it! The picture above is a life sized bed room set. It’s called Milano Chocolate set, which is fitt...
Some miniature photography fun with a Re-Ment Scene: Cafe Brunch with Friends. I set up a little scene with some newly acquired Re-Ment goodies. The food is mostly a mix of the Japanese Onsen foods (I got the whole set!) displayed on top of the Rement Cafe Table set. The background is the Japanese paper my sister gave me a while back. Can you tell I love them? The scene is a t...
The 13th part in the Coventry Cottage dollhouse project where I work on the front porch with the miniature stone tiles made earlier. I finally got to use those “flagstone” pieces that I made for the Coventry Cottage porch. I used spackle as the grout. It was pretty tough with spackle because it dries so quickly, which I expected. But I didn’t expect the difficulty of doing it in such a confined space. Its finally done and boy was...
Showcasing miniatures by Mel. Do the scene above look familiar? Well, if you’ve watched Alice in Wonderland lately, it should! The cakes and goodies above was created by Mel, of Mel’s Miniatures. I found her by browsing around Etsy and found her etsy shop and then her blog. After some more browsing, I realized that she was the f...
Working on the interior trim for the coventry cottage dollhouse project. Painting it white to make a summery feel. Its been a while since I posted any updates on my Coventry Cottage project… over a whole month in fact! So here’s a pretty long post on what went on. Starting off, I made a junky paint box to aid in the painting. Its a horrible excuse for a paint box since its too small and there is too much overspi...
