Old kitchen

Here's a sneak preview of an old, run-down kitchen room box that I've been working on for a while now. 

It has clearly seen better days, but that's exactly what I like about it. Actually, that's the whole reason I bought it. I want this thing to represent my style, not to look like my mom's kitchen!

It's still pretty much work in progress, yet slowly but surely getting there!

Small Projects: A Humble Plunger.

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well!

Here I am with another very small project I want to share with you. Sometimes I buy a cheap miniature item, and work on it to 'upgrade' it to something nicer, just for the fun of it. This time it was a drain plunger.

 

Although I have to say the original miniature was already quite true to life (rubber suction cup and wooden handle), the cup's color was quite off: the rubber was transparent and showed a very fragile-looking, light pink hue; nothing like your average old plunger. So I disassembled it, painted the cup inside out in a more familiar color, and made it seem used and robust. I also 'fixed' the wooden handle by making it 'aged', cos originally it looked as if it had just left the Walmart.

I hope you like the result. It was fun to do, and now I can add it to one of my old miniature kitchens. You never know it may be needed!

That's all for now, folks. Thanks for visiting, keep safe, and see you next time!

Dustpan and brush.

Hi all, how are you doing?

Today I spontaneously decided to work on a miniature that I bought recently.

This dustpan and brush were part of a set of several items for the kitchen, and looked totally pristine when I got them. The dustpan was blue and didn't have a single dent or chip in the paint, and the brush looked factory fresh too.

 

Well, those who know my work will understand that that wasn't going to remain like that for long!

So I worked on the brush and dustpan to make them look like they had a very busy life cleaning. I hope you like the result, and I'm sure they will look great in the Centennial dolls house.

 

That's all for now, folks!  Thanks for visiting, and see you next time!
