At long last..........



Well, it's taken a while but at last there is some progress with The Tearooms.   There is living accommodation in the roof space of The Tearooms - a sitting room and bedroom - and they're coming along quite well. I just need some accessories before showing you all what I've been up to.

I've had this bed for ages but was unsure as to the look I wanted for it.   I'm not comfortable with terribly frilly beds and wanted something a bit understated.   I also wasn't sure of the colours I wanted until I picked up some fabric at Miniatura in March.

I've used an oak "brush on, buff off" wax for the bed itself and the matress that came with the bed was a bit flat so I've double the thickness of that.   It's all been done with glue and spray starch and I'm really pleased with the way it's turned out.

More soon!

  2. I think mini's are a all or nothing hobby, Somerset House has been at a stand still for ages, love the bed, like you I'm not a fan of too many frills.

  3. The simplicity of this bed makes it worthy of a doll's house museum: it is a real bed, does not think the Barbie :-)
    I particularly appreciate the bedspread striped: I love it!

  5. I like that...a nice mix of feminine and masculine for a perfectly cozy bed! Looks like something I'd have on my real life bed.

  9. What a wonderful bed! Oddly I was looking at an English decorating magazine last night and wondering how the same bed would look in miniature - now I know. Better than full size. :D I love the way you have dressed it. Understated but elegant. :)
