undersized urbanite dollhouse contest!

Undersized Urbanite contest.

Ok so I've decided to enter again this year but this time I've decided to enter with an entire house
I'm planning on making it really masculine this time and considering my 17 year old cousin decided that dollhouses are for kids only I decided I'm going to prove him wrong. He is studying to be an architect and his taste is very modern (like mine)So  I figured why not combine the two and make an architect loft! This lady at my work gave me the perfect base to start with and it's going to be very sleek with lots of white grey and wood items.

Here's the base where I'm going to make the loft from:
 
 
 
Also we went to this small dollhouse fair here in Holland a few
weeks back and I bought some items that are definitely going to be in there:
 
A kit for some document folders

 A very cool vitrine closet



 
Some leather for the sofa!

 
A pringels can
 
 
A modern vase


Two Glass jars


 
 
Three suitcases
 
A black plate


Some architect drawing tools!

 
And a cupcake




I've also made a concrete coffee table:




Well that was all I've done so far lets get back to building our house!

I’ve been creative!



Hello everybody,
I just wanted to let you know that despite my absence in blogging I have been busy.
Besides officially moving In, in my own house(jay!!)
I’ve also been making a few things such as these:

A bath tub!

 
A TV:


 I've made it out of an old picture frame:
you can place it on the stand with the bottom foot.





 
 
 





 
Or you can hang it on the hole in the back:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I've also made this cabinet witch was inspired by this photo I've found on Google:
 
 
 
 
only I've decided to not make the pipe go all the way through because that would take away from the space on the shelves
 
 
 














 
 
 
 
And last but not least I've made a bulletin board inspired by the great: the shopping sherpa

 
 
All and all I love these items and you will be seeing them in a few scenes soon !
