I am now trying to create the modern dollhouse bookcase using resin plastic casting. So the scene above looks vaguely familiar, but can you spot the big difference? I know, I know, the picture color is a bit washed out (sloppy editing), its missing the shelf items, and there’s the Tulip chair, but…. the big difference is that the shelf is actually a plastic reproduction! It first st...
I just bought the Lilliput Mulberry Lane Dollhouse Kit off Craigslist. I am in big trouble. I am in big trouble. I just bought ANOTHER dollhouse. I’m still not done with my Coventry Cottage, I haven’t even started on the Willow, I’m in the middle of a scratch build, and I go and buy another house! I’m really running out of hiding places and the size of this thing is pretty big (as are most...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Another half scale fireplace project for the creatology dollhouse with veranda, but with some accidents along the way. Emboldened by my success from yesterday’s country fireplace, I decided to make another one (since I bought a second Creatology Dollhouse with Veranda). This time, I wanted to create a more modern one, since I’ll be decorating it contemporary-ish. This fireplace is actually based off the slate firepl...
Possibly starting a new project with the Greenleaf/Corona Concepts Willow. Some pictures and a quick review. I bought the Willow about a month ago and hid it from my family because I still haven’t finished the Coventry cottage yet and I don’t want them to think that this is getting out of hand, yanno? >\> I still haven’t finished the Coventry Cottage, and I have other projects lining up, but I really, real...
