Workroom in miniature

I used to be interested in dolls' houses. Thought you might be interested in the 'workroom' of one of them.

So cute. I had a Dolls House when I was young my father built it all 7 rooms it was two storey with an attic.
My mother with some help from me decorated it but it wasn't as good as yours. I only had matchbox and egg carton furniture. Oh for the memories.

That's awesome. I love all the little accessories. Just like a real one.

I had a doll house. I have saved some of the furniture. I need to do some little vinyets (sorry can't spell) but I like the workroom. So Cute!

Lovely, 2 years ago I passed mine down to my Gr girl Kate. Love your room! Wonder if the Room ever gets in a mess! LOL

It's adorable. I have a room box someone gave me, but have no idea how to get started turning it into a sewing/craft room. Any tips?

I had(my boys fell on it and that was the end) a doll house and used to even make little ivy plants using fine wire and manicure scissors to cut the leaves, little doilies and rugs. I have one to put together for DGD but It is not working so far!!

Thank reminds me that I have my doll house from when I was a little kid. It is made of tin. Most of the furnature is gone, which is a shame. All this is in a box somewhere in the stack. Have thought of selling it. I know it is over 50 yrs old. Wow.

How cute! What a great gift to treasure.

Don't start it gets as obsessive as quilting.

My Granddad made me a beautiful wooden doll bed when I was 7 yrs. old. I will be 70 in March. My Granddaughter is now 9 and loved playing with it at my house. She had gotten an American Doll for her birthday in Sept and wanted a bed for her so I offered her to take this one home at Christmas. She was thrilled to take it but wanted to paint it and add stencils to it. I told her it was hers,fix it anyway she wanted and it looked so cute when she finished.

How adorable! Love those teeny tiny spools of thread. I think this is something that should go traveling from LQS to LQS for inspiration!

Love your room box my adult grandaughter and I made a doll house earlier this year it eas so cute but her cat knocked it off its table and some of furniture got broke I was so sad as it took forever to make all the furniture everything in it was handmade including the dolls Yours makes me want to make some room boxes.

rosiewell 02-05-2012 09:47 AM

so many details, beautiful, I could play with that!

dakota gal 02-05-2012 11:53 AM

I made myself a doll house from a kit, had a lot of fun putting it together and making some of the furniture, but had to sell it when we moved to a smaller home, but did keep the furniture. Would love to make another one, but there are so many others things I want to do also and so little time.

Grandma58 02-05-2012 12:18 PM

That is really neat!

Grandma Peg 02-05-2012 12:19 PM

It is a great workroom. Would like my sewing room to look that organized.

adrianlee 02-05-2012 12:31 PM

So gosh darn cute!! I want to build a sewing room shadow box too. I'll start watching for little things to put into it. Thanks for sharing and the great idea.

This is wonderful. I love dollhouses and miniatures, too. Google up the Small Stuff Digest. It's a very active forum with a few thousand people who are into this hobby. I'm sure they'd like to see this, too.

How cute. Love it . When I was little I had a doll house.

You did a great job with this. My husband and I are doing a doll house for our granddaughter and I wanted to have a sewing room. This is a great help to me with designing the room. I am impressed with the amount of detail you have in the room.

Mariposa 02-06-2012 09:40 AM

Neat little room! I love doll houses and minis too! What fun! :)

M.I.Late 02-06-2012 10:40 AM

That is too precious!

CLMQuilter 02-06-2012 08:05 PM

I love it, I was going to have my BIL build one for me all open in the front so I could put it on a self here in my quilt room, but he passed away before he could get it made. I am still looking to fine one with no luck.
