Working on the Interior of The Minikin

 Hello Everyone,

How are you all? Hope you are well and had a great weekend. It has been a while since my last post but have been really busy working on my miniatures. Summer is here and as you all know it's my favorite season. In a few weeks the kids will start with their Summer Break. I can't wait to spend some time with them.

Today I will be sharing with you the progress of the 1:24scale project The Minikin. As the exterior of the house is complete, now it's time to work on the interior of the room. I started off with the sitting room.  

I started off by wallpapering the walls and adding the paper wood flooring to the tiny room.

Then I started working on the fire place. The insert of the fire place was hand painted by me and the surrounding was made by me with my resin 3d printer. 

I also got to make a miniature 1:24scale dolls house with a small table for the little Norah. 

I also built the sofa and armchairs which are kits from Mellisa's Mini Wereld. They are very nice to built and quite easy. 

So far this is how it looks so far. I have to say I'm very pleased how it is turning out. It is taking a while to finish considering that it is a 1:24 scale but every furniture piece is being built and painted. 

This is all for today. I hope you like what I have done so far. Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates.

Take Care and See You Soon.

The Start of the Renovation - "The Minikin"

Hello Everyone,

How are you all? Hope you had a great weekend.  The weather is quite cold this year here in Malta. I forgot when it was the last time it was a cold.  It is quite normal that January and February are cold but not as cold as this year. 

Today I am very excited to share with you the new project for this year which is 'The Minikin'.

'The Minikin' is actually a restoration project that I had gotten two years ago. It's renovation progress was meant to be aired on the Life & Style' TV Show on NET Tv presented by Charles Saliba. It was aired only once at the beginning but unfortunately due to the Covid-19 the show was stopped and never resumed.

  The Minikin is a (1:24) half scale dolls house which came to me in a very poor state but with lots of potential. It's my very first half scale dolls house so I am really excited about it. 

The tiny house came with broken windows and sunburn stains. It's floors and wall paper were in 1:12 scale and didn't have any interior doors or staircase.  The layout of the house is quite nice and unique and it contains four main rooms and two spacious rooms in the roof.  I have to say I am not sure if this dolls house was a kit or hand made, if so who made it built it very well. 

The first thing I did was basically strip the dolls house  papers and change the broken windows and door.

I added a dormer window to the room that was situated in the roof as I was sure it would have looked much better. 

I gave the house a new color in pastel green. I also found some amazing half scale embossed roof sheets and I have to say the house on the outside already looks fantastic. 

I have also designed and printed it's name plaque to be fixed on the wall.  For my first attempt, I have to say I did very well. 

So this is all for today. I hope you like what I have done so far. I can't wait to continue working on this tiny house.  Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates.

Take Care and See You Soon,

Hugs,
