Grazhina's Page - formerly the New England Miniatures Blog: 19th century cottage wash house
http://newenglandminiatures.blogspot.com/2011/06/new-project-19th-century-cottage-wash.html
Grazhina's Page - formerly the New England Miniatures Blog. 19th century cottage wash house. I decided to work on room boxes for a while, mainly because they take up less room, and don't take as long to finish as a dollhouse. Recently I ordered an unfinished roombox, and when it arrived last week I saw it was the perfect size for the Victorian cottage wash house I had been thinking about. I had found a picture of it in a book, and it really appealed to me. Here's what it looks like right now. I wanted a ...

http://newenglandminiatures.blogspot.com/2009/07/non-working-miniature-venetian-blind.html
Grazhina's Page - formerly the New England Miniatures Blog. A non-working miniature Venetian blind. This project is pretty easy to do. The materials are cheap, so if you make a mistake, just start over. The result looks pretty impressive. Dollhouse molding or strip wood for the valance. Hot glue or other glue for attaching ribbon to paper. White, wood glue, (or optional contact cement). Cut a sheet of cardstock to the width of your window frame. You’ll then cut the strips from this sheet. I then cut 2 le...

http://newenglandminiatures.blogspot.com/2009/03/miniature-landscaping-part-i.html
Grazhina's Page - formerly the New England Miniatures Blog. Miniature Landscaping part I. I have a need to add landscaping to each of my dollhouses. In minilandscaping hiding an ugly foundation is easy as pie. Is your yard too flat? Make a little slope, no trudging around with wheelbarrows full of loam or sand. Is your house crying out for stone front steps? You don’t have to pay a stone and gravel company, just use some balsa wood. Yes, a minilandscape is a pleasurable thing. I started out with a fake p...

http://newenglandminiatures.blogspot.com/2015/01/completed-19th-century-wash-house.html
Grazhina's Page - formerly the New England Miniatures Blog. Completed 19th century wash house. After sitting unfinished in various places in my studio and dining room for the past few years, my Victorian wash house is finally complete. Well, sort of complete. I have to track down where I put the acrylic panel that slides down over the front to keep out the dust. OK, enough historical fact. If you want to know more check out my Victorian site, Victorian Interiors and More. I tried several different color ...
