The Pumpkin Cottage at The Victorian Miniature Parlour

 Hello everyone,

I hope you are all well. After sharing yesterday’s post about The Tiny Folly, today I am excited to introduce you to the final piece that has been added to The Victorian Miniature Parlour.

This special little house is called The Pumpkin Cottage, and it holds a very dear place in my heart. It is built in a charming Tudor style, with its rustic beams, textured walls, and quaint roofline. But what makes it even more enchanting is the little touch of magic in its design. The moment you see it, you feel as though it has stepped straight out of a fairy-tale. The kind of place where one might imagine meeting a wise old storyteller, or perhaps where Posy the Tiny Teddy Bear could pop in for an adventure!

Another detail that makes The Pumpkin Cottage so unique is the addition of an interior staircase;  something quite rare in 1:144 scale houses. This feature adds both realism and charm, making it feel like a true lived-in home despite its small size.

The cottage opens from the back, revealing its interior, and I have carefully decorated it with tiny furniture, accessories, and decorative touches. From little chairs to miniature tables, each piece has been chosen to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Though the rooms are small, they have their own character, and the staircase gives the illusion of a home full of stories and secrets.

I am so pleased with how this project has turned out, and I feel it makes a fitting final addition to The Victorian Miniature Parlour. To display it properly, I am considering placing it on a lazy Susan so that visitors can admire it from every angle; both the intricate Tudor exterior and the magical interior details.

Here are a few pictures and a short video of how it looks. I hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

This weekend, I will be away in Arnhem for the Dolls House Nederland Show, and I am truly looking forward to it. With 53 international exhibitors, it promises to be a wonderful weekend full of inspiration, creativity, and friendships. I cannot wait to share my miniatures and meet so many of you who are just as passionate about this hobby as I am.

That’s all for today, my friends. Stay tuned for more updates from Arnhem and beyond, and thank you, as always, for joining me on this miniature journey.

Take care and see you soon.

Hugs,

Rebecca xxx
