The Porch I bought this house second hand and the porch plate was an absolute wreck. So I made a new porch, smaller than the original so it would fit perfectly on this desk I am using to display the house. I had an old bamboo slat laundry basket and I used the slats to […]
What else would I have in an attic? Australian houses don’t really have attic spaces but I know if mine did – that’s where I would have my crafting space. Being as how I worry about ridiculous things like “how would the little people get into the attic” on the upper landing I put a […]
A bit of “dressing up” I had never had a reason to make miniature girly things so I really enjoyed this phase of dressing the bedroom! I decided to make a hanging wallboard to keep all the necessary accessories any girl might need. Then I got to work making mini bags, hats, scarves and jewellery […]
The Bedroom took 2 years hahaha Because I had a massive break in between starting it and doing a few pieces like the floor, bed and closets. I also moved states – and isn’t moving a massive dollhouse just the BEST fun? It actually travelled pretty well – the outside hadn’t been done and it […]
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 […]
The first part I decided on One thing I have never had in a kitchen is somewhere for the annoying garbage can to hide and I still don’t! I do have hidden recycle and organic matter bins but still have to have a bin for things like soft plastic and general rubbish. I also like […]
Planning the kitchen…. I did actually make a floor plan for my lower cabinets, sink, appliances, island and dining table. I make a template of the floor space on graph paper then make templates of what I would like to fit in the space. For example, a kitchen counter unit is about 5cm by 5cm. […]
