Progress on the Little Modern House

I've been working on my mini modern house for two weeks now. Here are some photos I took today. The roof will have a large skylight. One exterior wall will be "glass."


I grabbed a diet 7 Up while I was out yesterday. Green plastic! Perfect for more furniture for the living room! If you poke the photos they should pop up larger.

Please ignore all of the things that have fallen into the pool. I just needed a place to put things. These tiny things have a way of disappearing! Here is the dining room.



I made the table out of a small piece of sea glass with a clear acrylic top. The hardest thing to make was this tiny chandelier. I wanted a drum shade. This one is a little less than 1/4" in diameter.

The house will be open on both ends. Fresh air and sea breezes are so good for you!

I want to make some plants and find some modern art for the walls. Then I'll glue everything down. I can't tell you how many times I've lost this tiny furniture!

Hope you all had a great weekend? Thank you so much for your birthday wishes!

Two Tiny Chairs

I made two tiny modern chairs and a coffee table this morning. I used exposed xray film and a flower punch.

You could use clear plastic, but I like the blue. :D

Completely Furnished

Upstairs and down!

Just a few more touch ups and then I'll glue everything in place.

I have the lights working again. I decided to try to make a little lamp for the bedroom. I'll show you that later...

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Minnie's New Living Room

Minnie likes her new living room furniture. She likes her new friend too. :D

Hope you have a beautiful day!

More Mini Furniture

I found this previously painted 1/4" square wooden dowel this morning. I don't remember what I had planned to use it for, OR why I had painted it green?


As you can see, it sparked some ideas for more furniture for my little house.

I started thinking about how to paint these pieces? Then I saw this.

Luon Fine Art Furniture

Lulu paints the cutest folk art furniture! Love that little table in the front of this photo!

I'm thinking that something like this would be perfect for my tiny house? I just might have to go back to Michaels and get more of those extra fine point pens! More colors, more fun!

Hope you have a happy day!

Tired Eyes

My eyes are very tired this evening. You can see why here. There is a toothpick in the photo just to show you how tiny this furniture is!

The bed is made from card stock folded around a block of wood. The chairs are slip covered with white fabric! The table needs some adjusting and paint.

I was going to get my clay out and make new appliances and a pedestal sink and tub for the bathroom. But now, as the clouds roll in and the sun is about to set, I think my eyes need a break!

I used Anna Carin's miniature tutorials to make the table and chairs. She has free DIY patterns and instructions in all scales. The ones I used are for 1:144 scale furniture.

Another great mini-mini site I found is by Frances Armstrong. She passed away in 2008 but her site is being maintained. There is a wealth of information there for beginners, like me.

I'm nearly finished with the building part of my little house. I'm going to try to do some landscaping around it too.

IF I ever get it finished, I'll have to find the perfect place to display it in my BIG beach house! There may be more of these little houses in my future. A tiny modern house perhaps?

My eyes are telling me to go do something larger for a while! They just want to keep closing for some reason...

Hope you had a lovely day!
