My miniature doll room

Hello and welcome to the doll room!

This was a special project made for me by my mom. She's a Barbie collector and loves crafting little room boxes for them with tiny realistic accessories. When she asked if I wanted a room box, I was tempted to say no because I'm not into Barbies or dolls their size, but then I saw, fully formed in my imagination, a miniature doll room. And she delivered. Pretty much everything you see in the above photo was made by her: the crib, the chair, the curtain, and even the potted plants!

I expected nothing less than this. I come from several generations of doll collectors, enthusiasts, and artists. My mom was already a talented miniature maker by the time I was born, having taken classes in making them for several years. Her classmates even made her this mini nursery to celebrate my birth! She also made this lovely Victorian dollhouse. She's the real deal when it comes to all things mini.

The Barbie here in the comfy chair represents me, and the comfy clothes I wear at home. She's holding her newest doll, a Zuru My Mini Baby. I'm glad that at least she has a silicone reborn baby doll, because I certainly will never be able to afford a life-sized one for myself. So I live vicariously through her in that way.

Sometimes Briana comes by for a visit! She's very careful when playing with the dolls, since some are vintage and fragile.

On the left is the chair my mom made. On the right are the mini American Girl posters. The reborn baby is in her stroller.

Most of her dolls stand on their shelves. My mom acquired most of these. I contributed the dolls on the bottom shelf, above the compartments. The one on the left is mini Isabelle Palmer (an American Girl crossover with McDonald's happy meal toys).

The next shelf above them is the American Girl doll shelf. These all came from Mega Bloks Construct sets. In the middle is Kit with her scooter and her dog Grace riding inside. Above that shelf are the tiny dolls. I bought the little porcelain doll on the left at last year's local doll show. And the top shelf is Disney and fantasy characters. I don't actually have any Disney dolls, but these look cute in the mini room, and I'm definitely not going for total accuracy here. That would be impossible.

Here's the bay window. My mom made the flowers and the green plant in the middle. She showed me how she made the colorful flowers and it's so easy, but my mind is still blown at how amazing they turned out.

The window is clear plastic. I added the scene out the window. It's from a calendar, and is a view of the San Francisco volcanic field in northern Arizona. It's a somewhat close resemblance to what I see when I look out my house's windows.

On the other side is the crib with the baby dolls. The three blonde babies are Barbie babies. I have no idea what the baby on the left is.

On this end of the crib are vintage Tiny Blessings dolls.

And the animal shelf is above the crib.

I have been working on the bakery and I decided that I didn’t like the multicolored floor as it would make it very difficult to develop a coherent color scheme. I wish I had made that determination before I glued down about 70 tiles. After much effort and significant damage to a size 8 double point knitting needle I got all the tiles up and replaced them with red and white tiles. Here is the completed floor:

There are about 700 tiles in that floor, each about I square centimeter in size. Next up, I need to decide what I want to do about the walls. I’m thinking of a pegboard on the lower half of the walls and strawberry wallpaper above. I’m thinking of something like one of these:

What do you think?

Ciao, loves.

I am back with more miniatures! This time I did a room box (because I live in a 1-bedroom apartment with no space to keep amassing and displaying full houses, haha). Come with me and journey back to the late 90s!

What we have here is a teen girl's bedroom from the late 90s. CRT television! Tie-dye backpack! Titanic and Lisa Frank on the wall! Celine Dion and the Backstreet Boys in the CD changer! That alarm clock that literally everyone had! A Care Bear on the bed (because a 90s teen is also an 80s kid)!

The wallpaper is scrapbook paper and the carpet is felt.

Touches made by my own two hands:

-Any brightly colored books in the bookshelf are merely pieces of cardstock painted with acrylic and folded to look like books. -The paper-bag-book-cover look on the math book was created by covering a miniatures book I purchased with craft paper. The handwriting and doodles are mine. My microscopic handwriting came in handy! -The backpack is made from fabric strips I found at Dollar Tree and formed around a cotton ball. None of it is sewn; it's all Tacky Glue. -The Titanic and Lisa Frank posters are images I found online and resized to approximately 1:12 scale. I printed the images out in color and glued them to cardstock for stability. The frames are created from wood coffee stirrers. -The Celine and BSB CDs are made in a similar way, though the scale is slightly larger than 1:12. They're glued onto leftover stripwood I had from the dollhouse and cut to size. -The bedspread is cut from a fat quarter of fabric I found at Walmart with the edges Tacky Glued under to create a hem. The pillow is one I didn't use from the dollhouse recovered in the same fabric. I thought about ironing that crease out, as it's just left over from where the fabric was initially folded, but I kinda like it, so I left it. -The copies of Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn (on the nightstand) and Time Windows by Kathryn Reiss (on the bed) are images of the actual book covers resized and glued onto miniature books from Michaels.
