Mini Class Previews for Spring Bishop Show

Here are sone pix of some of the neat projects that'll be coming up at the spring Chicago International Show. The preview was at the fall show at the Holiday Inn in Rolling Meadows. Interesting hotel as the whole inner meeting area and pool was all decorated like a giant tiki room and a Hawaiian setting.  Quite unique.

Half Scale Dollhouse Living Room



It's been a while since I posted photos of the Half Scale Country House,

I had one room left to finish the details in - now the living room is done!

I made the furniture from the d. Anne Ruff half scale furniture kit. The table and chairs are the cafe set kit from SDK Miniatures.  The console is a magnet, too.

Hopefully I'll have some kind of case made as I want to take the house to the county fair  - gasp- next week. Already!  (More photos - attic.)


The chair under the stairs is one of those smaller plastic dollhouse chairs. I covered it in fabric to match my curtains. I also made the clock. The phone table is a magnet.
