Chestnuts Roasting.....But Not On This Fire

I had purchased some time ago a fireplace for the dollhouse. My only criteria was that it was cheap. Unfortunately cheap usually means ugly which then usually means that I will have to work on it to make it pretty. Me, not leave something alone? Shocking. The Inspiration Every house needs heat and a non-u…

Bookcase It Is!

I have been incredibly busy the last two or so weeks! Even though I have all my pictures ready and projects underway, getting to write was always on the bottom of my list. I've almost finished the bathroom and I've started modifying my store bought kitchen cabinets. Miss Kitty mucks about in the furnace…

Starburst Mirror

I was wandering HomeSense at 5pm with Kitty in tow. Just killing time before snack and bath time. They have such nice wall decor! Fast forward to a Pinterest moment a week later when I stumbled across the blog Sawdust and Embryos and their gorgeous DIY starburst mirror. A design moment struck! I thought…

Picasso By Night

When Kitty goes to bed, I rush downstairs to my crafting and construction layer and get busy flexing my mental muscle. Not that diapers and playing doesn't stimulate me enough, but something for me is also nice. I decided I needed to paint, Looked at my furniture box and decided that tackling faux marble c…

Blinded By The Light

Finally! I get the computer to myself. I've been busy the last little bit working away on living room furniture and now the bathroom. I also finally shamed myself into getting out the big girl camera, my Canon Rebel and taking real pictures, rather then the iPad. But I have a plethora of items that I h…

Snug As A Bug

Oh to sleep in a nice comfy bed. I'm totally avoiding making a bed for the dollhouse. I haven't found a tutorial that makes me happy. Somehow I have developed a psychological block on this bed thing. Gotta do it. 1inch Minis has a beautiful bed that I have been thinking about. And I have been sifting through…

The Faux Cowhide Rug

I am a subscriber to both House and Home and Style At Home magazines. And I lust for many of the looks and stylized rooms. Alas, my house has been "house and home-d" thoroughly after 3 plus years, so I must now turn to the dollhouse to fulfill my design fantasies. Plus I have expensive taste, so this i…

The Couch Surfer

When I started redesigning the dollhouse from its original state I stumbled upon MitchyMooMiniatures fantastic tutorial on how to build a 1:12 scale couch. I started that couch in later winter 2014. It was completed January 2015. Oooops. I decided to make mine from wood rather then MDF simply beca…

Ottoman for your tired little legs

I apologize for the rather sad ironing board cover that appears in my blog photos. It has seen more then its fair share of iron-on hemming for drapes and crafts. I swear its not dirty, its just burnt on hemming tape! I couldn't think of anything witty with ottoman in it for the title of the post. Sorry. …

Rome wasn't built in a day, but Roman blinds were built in 45 minutes

I decided the attic needed blinds. Given the slant of the roof line in the attic, I thought drapes might be visually too much and take up precious space. Enter, roman blinds (or roman shades). I went to visit the queen, Martha Stewart, for inspiration. And by inspiration, actually recall what a proper roman bli…
