Breakfast Bar Table

I cut all of the pieces of wood for the table. The top is sealed with MinWax varnish and ready for the tile.


I'm building a mission style table. I love the simple lines of that furniture style. This is my inspiration photo from Vision Decor.


I used the measurements of this real table and Jim's Dollhouse Calculator to measure and cut the wood to scale. It's really pretty easy to make your own furniture this way.

Now it's on to the tile top. That will be the fun part!?

More later! Hope you have a good day!

It Just Occurred to Me

I'm going to need a coffee table to put my coffee table books on! Lize has made me the most beautiful book! I can't wait to show you!

Right now there are no tables in my living room! Guess I'll need to make more furniture! I really enjoy doing that.

I don't want a Victorian house and accessories. Very pretty, but not my style. That's why I'm building my own things.

I found some of Michael's mini hutches. I bought two of them. One for the bathroom and one for my future craft room. For $1 each they are okay. I didn't notice that one was broken until I got it home. Oh well, I'm going to change it up a bit anyway.

I like casual, cottage, simple furniture. Painted furniture. Comfortable furniture. Furniture you can put your sandy feet on and not worry about where the dog takes a nap!

Check out this real life family room done by Karla and her hubby at It's the Little Things that Make a House a Home!

Isn't it GORGEOUS!?

I bought a mini golden retriever for my dollhouse today. She reminds me so much of my real life best friend! It's not needle felted, which is want I really wanted, but I can't afford one of those!

Here's some ideas I've found for my "new" coffee table.

Cottage Home

Pottery Barn

They all look simple enough to build. Which one do you like? I think I like that last one best.

Sweet Dreams,
