French Country Dutch Baby House

I have never done a mini in such a small scale. This is French Country Dutch Baby House. It was a kit by Cynthia Howe Miniatures. It has 9 rooms of furniture. It has a kitchen, dining room, bedroom, guest room, parlor, music room, bath, and two hallways. It is very small. It is smaller than quarter scale. I can't find anywhere in the kit the size listed, but trust me - it's really small. All the furniture had to be assembled, painted, and placed in the house. Take a look at the quarters in the pictures. As you can see, the rooms are about the height of a quarter. I would like to tell you that it went together without a hitch - but that would be a lie. I must confess, I broke several frames, two chairs, one table. Some were glueable and thus salvaged; a couple just bit the dust. I've always maintained that when a quarter scale item hit the floor, it was gone. I really think I must have inhaled a piece of one chair. GONE!!!! This was worse than quarter scale in keeping the items from flying off my work surface Yes, I know about double sided tape but that didn't seem to be a total help. After all is said and done, I am really happy with this little Baby House. Now I think I will go back to bigger scale before I go totally blind.

This was really a challenge and I loved doing it; but going back to slightly bigger items now.
