Some Dollhouse Furniture

I've been making some furniture from scratch for my next dollhouse project.

I made a sofa using House of Miniature's Chippendale Sofa layout sheet found here: http://www.houseofminiatures.info/images/40015.pdf
Print the layout sheet with all the parts on it. Then use veneer woods to make each part. And cover with fabrics of your choice. I used Aleene's Tacky Glue to glue the fabric on.

I'm missing a trim for the skirt. I haven't found anything simple enough yet.

 I made a sideboard.  I sort of followed this tutorial : http://cantimpalo1.blogspot.com.es/2010/02/publicacion-en-la-revista-miniaturas.html

I painted some sheep on the doors.  

Next I made a kitchen island.  No pattern for this one. I just knew I wanted it 3" high. I covered the top with aluminum foil (the not so shiny side). I aged the aluminum with watered down black & brown paints.

It has a little towel holder on the side and a working drawer.  Now I have to make the dollhouse!

I'm back from vacation & I have a fabulous free gift for all of you!

It's the My Memory Suite scrapbook program. This program is great for your photos, but it's also incredible for miniature projects.  You can make tiny photo books, print out your wallpaper and countless other dollhouse projects!

Remember Charmed Cottage?  (It's the one I build in my book Building a Fairytale Cottage Dollhouse.) I used the paper from My Memories above the wainscoting.  It's already aged. I just had to print it out.
