Before and After...

Here you see pictures of my big cabinet, how it looks today and how it looked when I bought it.

I also wanted to show pictures so you can see several rooms on the same image. As you already know, there is more work to do. The kitchen still need more benches...and several pictures of my kids in the hall.

News in the Cabinet!

I have made some new items to the big cabinet. There is hatboxes to the bedroom and a new floor in the laundry.I also have a new wallpaper border in the nursery, with Beatrix Potter motif.

Another footstool...

I have made a footstool or an ottoman -I dont really know what to call it...

Here you can see what I used for making it -

I always use balsa wood , becouse its easy to cut with a knife or use a pair of scissors. I cant deal with a saw, the results are never good.

Then I used wood glue, printed fabric and foam that i cut the edges for a better shape. I just glued the fabric on the balsa and the foam.I used wooden beads as feet.

The fabric is originally a swedish design of Josef Frank that I printed out on freezepaper in a  miniature size on the pattern.

Lexington Showroom

Finally I am done with the Lexington roombox! I show you pictures a long time ago of some items that I had made then.

I see now that the letters on the wall are falling down  or something, because they do not set straight!

There is beddings in packages on the shelf, carpets standing leaning on the floor to the left, blankets, placemats, mores beddings in the big basket, bedspread, cuisons...

In the shelf i the middle - bath towels and more cusions! In the white baskets - rolled hammocks, cusions and blanket... Of course there also must be price tags!

Now I just need som kind of spotlights...

I´ve got the inspiration from the local interier shop and of course from all countless interier design blogs.

Inspired from the ´70s!

We have as a project in the Swedish miniature club to make furnitures and this is what I made so far.

I found the fabric on the matress at my parents home, it used to be a doll clothes from the 1970´s that a cut apart. Then I bought some new fabrics too and saw some cusions. The bed is made of balsa, just as the small table.I tried to make a copy of the IKEA table "Lack"...

More pictures of my cottage!

Here comes more pictures of my Liza´s Cottage! This was a project that I started in the beginning of last year and theese pics was taken in august or september. (Now its a lot of snow outdoor here in sweden...)
It was really fun to make this tiny cottage. Its suppose to be a non electric house, there is only kerosine lamps and a LPG stove. You can see the blue bottle of petrolium gas right, next to the sunflowers.
I have built the stove and the kitchen zink from balsa. The tiles above are printed paper, the waffels on the table are made from sculpey. The white cabinet its filled with old foodpackaging and the spices on top are real spices from my kitchen.
