bedroom update

Last week I went to the fair in Rijswijk with my boyfriend and my dear friend Annemieke. I bought everything on the first photo there. (and some materials not in the photo) The Medinella was a kit and great fun to make. I also want to collect the "boerenbont" kitchenware for my kitchen, so I was really pleased to find the teapot there. In the bowl there are some cookies.

We had a great time with so many lovely miniatures to see!











I think I'll put the bed and cabinet like this. Only need your advice on this: shall I leave the bed with the neutral colors or with the flower fabric in the next picture?






 



















I also made this coat from a tutorial in Dollhouse Nederland nr. 43.
Only need to figure out if I'm gonna put it in the hall or on a chair in the kitchen so I can model it and make it hang more natural.

Thank you for visiting, 'till next time.

a visit from Annemieke

After a lot of catching up and tea, we made these bags from a tutorial in American Miniaturist:

I also got some lovely miniatures for my house: a bed for Benz the Jack Russell and something to hang in my garden.

   Making the bags was so much fun I made another one that evening:

Thank you Annemieke for another great day!

I've been making minis and crochet, but when I see it on photo It always looks like I didn't do much ;)




The floor for the bathroom is stained, grouted and ready. I've made some toiletpaper and the towels you see in the bathroom cabinet.
The frame is going to be the mirror, but I can't find the mirrorsheet I had for this, so I'll keep looking...

I've made some pillows and now I'm trying to design some nice covers.

And every evening and sometimes when we have to drive somewhere far I'm crocheting. It's now a single person blanket and it's going to be twice as big.

Good times

Last week on the day of the WK finale my friend Annemieke visited us for a barbecue and some miniature making. (and of course to watch the finale between The Netherlands and Spain)

Unfortunately Holland lost, but we didn't mind to much because we had a great day anyway.
We made a beautycase: mini in 1:12 and Annemiekes in 1:24 scale.


We happened to have both made a bathroom cabinet, so we both had a place to put it!

My cabinet was painted and provided with knobs after this photograph and I started the tiles for the floor, but I'll show you in a next post.
Thanx Annemieke for a fun day!

In the bathroom I wanted to have a big sink with a cabinet. I already bought the sink from Chrysbon and designed a cabinet to place it in:

It isn't finished yet. Need to add some details like knobs and paint

the whole thing. The first look is through the window of the hallway:

As you can see I need to make the tiles for the bathroom as well as paint the wall the sink is up against. I made the curved wall between the hall and the bathroom, because there is no window in the bathroom and I like the view from the hall window to show some bathroom.

It's real fun to design something and have it come out the way you imagined!

I think I'll paint it like the floorboards in the hall. And there will be some baskets in the middle.
Have a nice day!

(Ps. it's 34 degrees over here and that's really hot for Dutch standards, so I think I'll deserve some icecream now ;) )
