Progress on the Work Shop at The Victorian Miniature Parlour

 Hello Everyone,

I hope you're all doing well and having a lovely week. I made some great progress on my ongoing project, The Victorian Miniature Parlour, over the Easter break and wanted to share the latest with you.

I've been focusing on the first floor, which will serve as the workshop and private quarters of Miss Julie Montague. This charming little space sits just above the shop. While it’s not a large area, it offers so much potential for creativity and storytelling. I'm still deciding on all the details, but I know for sure it will feature a sturdy worktable and a cosy stove to give the room warmth and character.

To begin, I wallpapered the room using a simple yet fitting pattern that complements its utilitarian purpose. I also built a small corner wall to house the stove – it’s a subtle touch that really helps define the space. The addition of skirting boards and a cornice helped bring the walls to life and added a lovely finished look. I also installed railings for the stairwell, which added a nice architectural touch.

At the moment, I’m still experimenting with furniture placements to see what works best. I also have a few micro-scale dollhouses planned for the back wall, which I’m excited to build. They’ll bring a fun layer of detail and depth to the space.

The wall lighting has now been installed along the back wall, and I must say – it’s already giving the room such an inviting and lived-in feel. The glow adds just the right touch of atmosphere.

Meanwhile, I’ve also been working on the shop downstairs. I focused on the counter area, adding a few miniature furniture pieces and, one of my favorite additions so far – a beautifully built miniature National Cash Register. It’s such a charming detail and really brings the shop scene to life.

And this is how the interior of The Victorian Miniature Parlour looks like so far. 

That’s all for today’s update! I hope you enjoyed this little peek into the progress. There’s still much more to come, so stay tuned for more updates and the latest news from The Victorian Miniature Parlour.

Thanks for following along!

Take Care and See You Soon.

Hugs,
