Kitchen Furniture

 

Last  year I made some furniture for the kitchen of my Miniature House;

a kind of hanging cupboard or wallunit.

 

 

For the upper part of it I found an inspirational picture  in 1:1 on Pinterest.  

(https://www.pinterest.com/Liduina88/11-dollhouse-inspiration/)

I made a copy of it for my 1:12 kitchen by looking carefully at the photo.

 

 

 

 

The lower part I designed and built myself.  

 

 

 

 

 

I still had a table and chairs I bought some years ago.

I painted all pieces of furniture in  a blue-grey shade.

 

 

 

 

I made the beds

 

 

 

 

 

Miniature House contains three bedrooms.

Lately I put "fresh sheets" on all the beds.

 

This post shows how the beds used to look like and how they do now.

 

 

I made this bed and mattress with help of two tutorials.
You can find them on .

and via my Pinterest Board https://www.pinterest.com/Liduina88/miniaturetutorials/

And this is how it looks right now. placed in the attic with the red cupboard.

The lovely roses you can see on the right are made by Tatiana.

This is how the wooden bed in the room
on the first floor used to look like
....but I decided to give it a new look....

Making Blinds

I decided to make some working blinds for my Miniature House.

After looking closely at real life blinds and pictures of miniature ones, I gave it a try.

Below some pictures of my work in progress and the final results.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A corner in my house for painting

 

 

I wanted a place in my Miniature House for painting

Earlier on I had made a copy
 of my own painters' easel in 1:12



I wanted a side table to put on the brushes, paint in tubes and palette.
I started out with a chess piece and some wood.

 

Assembling....



I painted the table and made brushes,
paint in tubes and a palette



I put a frame around some   tiny paintings I made before.



Garden seat

Last week I began decorating the verandah. I thought it would be nice to have a garden seat there....

In the picture above you can see a chair and table I made years ago with help of a tutorial out of a dutch dollshouse magazine ( Poppenhuizen & Miniaturen, 2002, part 56 page 47).

 

Somehow I did not like the fresh, bright colour of  the furniture I had made, so I stained it a bit darker.

 

 

 

I placed it on the verandah of my Miniature House and I think the colour now matches nicely with the brown/red of the brickwall.  I'll have to do a lot more work on the porch before it's finished, but I made a good start with this garden seat, I think :D
