Les Demeures de Poupées at The Workshop.

 Hello Everyone,

How are you all? I hope you're doing well. I've been busy continuing work on my beloved project, The Victorian Miniature Parlour, and this time, I’ve focused on the little workshop tucked away in the upper room.

The very first miniature scene for this space is one I’ve titled 'Les Demeures de Poupées', which translates to The Dolls’ Houses. It’s essentially a street of charming little dolls houses, crafted in 1:144 scale using kits from Petite Properties. Each house has its own personality, and I had so much fun painting and decorating them.

The houses are called:

• L’Emporium du Printemps (The Spring Emporium)

• Maison d’Été (Summer House)

• Maison d’Automne (Autumn House)

• Maison d’Hiver (Winter House)

While the original kits came with a simple street plinth for display, I decided to give it a little makeover. I wanted to raise the houses higher off the ground for a better visual impact, but I also wanted to retain the charm of the base. So I modified it to include two small display units underneath, where I could showcase miniature dolls and furnishings.

In these units, I placed some adorable quarter scale furniture kits from Melissa’s Mini Wereld and Petite Properties. I even managed to make the tiniest tea set for the table in the sitting area, truly a test of patience and steady hands, but such a rewarding detail!

One of my favourite additions is a collection of tiny dolls I've been gathering over the years, all handmade by the talented Italian artist Claudia A. Taigete. I absolutely adore these miniature dollies. They're incredibly detailed, full of character, and fit perfectly beneath the little street of houses. It's like a tiny community came to life under one roof!

So that’s what I’ve been working on lately, and I have to say, I’m quite happy with how it’s coming together. The upper workshop room now has a soul of its own, and I can’t wait to continue filling it with more lovely little pieces.

Thank you for stopping by and following along on this journey into my miniature world. Be sure to stay tuned for the next update and the latest news. I promise there’s always more magic to come.

Take Care and See You Soon.

Hugs,

Rebecca xxx
