The other day I picked up a BUNCH of mini cabinets for the dollhouse at Michael’s for only $1 each(!). They had scrolly trim on the top and bottom, but I removed that, it’s not the look I’m going for this time. I think I will try to turn the first one into a […]

Cheap and cute pantry organization
I drink a lot of tea. So much that we call the shelf of tea boxes in our pantry the Tea Department. And it was out of control and not very pretty until I found a really inexpensive solution: They were some super cute little cardboard bins at Target. (For only $1 each!) After I purchased […]
Tiny rugs
I picked up fabrics today from the craft store for the Little Colonial, so I can finally pick my wall colors. With some of the fabrics, I made some little tiny rugs this afternoon. This one needs some edging, but I might trim it down first to a rectangle, not sure yet. It reminds me […]

Our real dining room is finally starting to come together. I still need to replace the bench with a settee on one side of the dining table, but I finally got curtains, (almost) finished the chairs and replaced the lighting. When we moved in, we had an icky (and way too small) brass and yellow […]

Tiny firewood
One of the first accessories I wanted for the dollhouse was a stack of miniature firewood for the front porch. For the holder, I took a piece of coated copper from a section of wiring that was leftover from our real house renovations, and bent it into a rectangle, then curled the ends of […]
Little Colonial
My first post on Little Victorian is about a little colonial. A very little colonial. Ever since seeing Emily Henderson’s “I Am A Giant” challenge, I laid in bed thinking about minis. Almost every piece of fabric or cardboard scrap I’ve seen, I’ve thought about things I could make out of it for a dollhouse. […]
