Bathroom Finished – The fastest room yet I would have to say this was definitely the fastest room so far. I had a pretty good idea about what I wanted at the start so it was just a matter of actually making it. A divine spa bathroom is something I have never really had in […]
Finished You Betcha! I finished my living room at last! I think last time I showcased the couch and chairs and whatnot so it was just a matter of making some cushions and adding a light and the bits and pieces that make a room a home and here it is. The only items I […]
What? More updates? You’re dreamin’! No. You are not. I’m on a roll and want to get this blog up to date with my livingroom build which is close to finished. The Couch Definitely the most important piece of furniture for the room. I want squishy, I want luxurious and I want to stretch and […]
Living room updates galore! Last time I had walls, a floor and a fireplace. I have nearly completed the room in the intervening 6 weeks! What else can you do in the middle of winter really? Window Placement Of course right where I wanted to place the fireplace is where the only window in the […]

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 […]
Easy Miniature Tiles That Feel Like Tiles When I was making my tiled fireplace the one thing I wanted was for the tiles to have some texture and to look like actual tiles. So I searched the internet of course! I found one awesome tutorial by the VERY talented Chris Toledo. If you have been […]
How fiddly is 1-144 Scale? (Remember I made a Dollhouse for my 1-12 Scale Dollhouse back in this post?) But also how much F U N??. It’s amazing how much detail you can get in some things and how you have to look for simple solutions. It also really helps if you want to challenge […]
