#12thscaled

Got my backside into gear and actually made a piece of furniture. Based on a 1964 design, I love the retro feel of this one. "It's goin' straight in the pool room" sic "the Castle", not actually, it's going into the Master Study. #dollhouseminiatures #dollhouse #miniature #retro #office #study #scaled #12thscaled #miniatures (at Ellerslie, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B57QtYZJuT0/?igshid=god19ddr2gty

Here's a closer view of the piano, did I mention the front of the turret is removable (mainly to access the two bathrooms above). Although I've notice I've got to redo the piano maker's badge - it's gone a bit wonky. #dollhouseminiatures #dollhouse #miniature #classicmodern #piano #12thscaled https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Ln-dqptwR/?igshid=qexs835bf4wj

This is the collection of furniture I'm putting in the Master Study. The Eames recliner I made all most a year ago. The pieces are very unapologetically mid century retro. #dollhouseminiatures #dollhouse #miniature #miniatures #12thscaled #12thscale #study #midcentury #retro (at Ellerslie, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6XdsGmJhx-/?igshid=un3wyyfhyuys

All 30 windows are made, painted, glazed and dry fitted to their locations. I've still got a few bits o do outside (like the roof, guttering, and landscaping), buy I want to start hitting the interiors. I've made a bit of a start on the flooring. PS, I've just decided that I'm going to put in a cupola over the stairwell - yet more windows (I'm my own worst enemy) #dollhouseminiatures #dollhouse #miniature #miniarchitecture #hamptons #scalemodel #12thscaled https://www.instagram.com/p/B0rVEFnpy_6/?igshid=11o5qubskizgi

After sorting out my Drape/curtain debacle in the Master bedroom, I was able to install the Living Room's sets (including the turret's piano area). This room has a mix of modern and retro furniture. The art is also mix of modern and early 20th century works. I found the perfect place for an awesome grape agate specimen I got from the brilliant @wendysminis, the light just hits it perfectly too. #miniature #dollhouse #dollhouseminiatures #12thscaled #miniarchitecture #hamptons #livingroom #classic #miniatures https://www.instagram.com/p/B48ZN6DpHNk/?igshid=12me818mmivjn

Just playing around with furniture arrangement. I think it works realistically. Of course I've got to get all the art up when it's finished, as well as sorting a suitable rug and make a baby grand piano for the space in the turret. #dollhouseminiatures #dollhouse #miniature #miniart #onetwelvescale #12thscaled #miniatures #livingroom (at Ellerslie, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B12ewr9pZv6/?igshid=1h4uhk3fxx37d

A couple of fire places I knocked together over the last two nights. They'll be going in the current house I'm working one. The white "marble" one will be going in the dining room. The black "granite" will be going in the living room. I really like the granite one, because the mix of greys and blues hues I was able work into it. Let me know if you have a favorite. #miniature #miniatures #dollhouseminiatures #dollhouse #painteffect #12thscaled (at Ellerslie, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Ap0ahpCy6/?igshid=1m4vdv137njmz

Close up of the book shelves, very 1960's. Apologies for the sh*t pic quality. Having to use my old phone for pics - I'll take better pics of it when it's in it's home. #miniature #dollhouseminiatures #dollhouse #miniatures #12thscaled #12thscale #retro (at Ellerslie, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6XeUUJps-V/?igshid=1bmav1wfp1vau
