I am very excited to get started on another room and who doesn’t love the thought of comfy couches (that’s what us Aussies call sofa’s), fat ottomans and fabulous fireplaces! The Floor The first thing I did was work out where I wanted the fireplace and the sizing. I made a cardboard floorplan and cardboard […]
But is it EVER really finished? That is a good question and the answer would have to be…..NO! I still need to make a kettle, get some more glassware and fix a couple of blerg! bits I found while trying to take photos. Which, btw, is very hard with a phone – I found myself […]
Closing the front opening My house is front opening and had one MASSIVE door. This is just silly – even titanium hinges are going to be compromised with 2 kilos of MDF board hanging off them. I plan on having 4 separate doors on separate hinges. This also means I can finish each room individually […]
My Big Arse Island My main feature for my kitchen was always going to be as big an island as I could fit, and it also had to have a breakfast bar so I could make some cool industrial bar stools to go under it =) I built the island out of basswood and birchwood […]
Oh yes I’m catching up! So many things to catch up on with the progress of the kitchen but I need to do it so I can get on to posting a couple of tutorials. I can’t do things out of order it’s just one of those peculiar things that I have to deal with […]

Choosing my fridge I’m back … WordPress can be a pain in the proverbial and I kept putting off trying to fix it. Now it works again! After doing the floors, ceiling and lights in the kitchen I got really excited to make a fridge! Off to YouTube where I came across this stainless steel […]
Lights…. or did you mean BLIGHTS? Yes… it’s time to tackle that most feared thing in the dollhouse building world…lights! This house came with a transformer and board able to take 12 lights and several actual lights. I quickly decided that to use less than half of them in the kitchen would be shame inducing […]
Whatcha.. Hello and welcome to the next update on my humungous 1/12 scale dollhouse. I have never discussed a style for this house. I will be doing a contemporary farmhouse meets rustic industrial meets shabby meets moroccan meets boho meets glam kinda style. I like a mish mash of styles – hence the name. I […]
