National Dollhouse Miniature Month - Day 18 - Kitchen

This is a terrible picture of the kitchen - but accurately portrays it.   So sad.   It gets better.   Guess what I found out.   I didn't have a stove in the kitchen.   It's on order and hopefully will be today so I can include it in the picture. 

This Kitchen has rather old fashioned appliances and that's okay.   The ice box, and sink were gifts from my mother in law and I was very pleased that she wanted to add to my house.   I will deal with older things because of the thought.   The table was found on eBay and I love it.  I will tell you a tip on setting a table.   This whole scene is set on clear plastic.  When and if I want to change it, I just slide it off the table and do another.

 Added valances to the windows.   The plastic container back there is a space saver for the stove that is on order.  

The table is full of goodies that are in process. With company and big events, you need food and lots of it.

I also love the wire stand with the copper pieces.   Copper is one of my favorite things.   

I am looking for a tin dish pan for my dry sink so I will have a sink option.   If you know where I can find one, lease a comment. 

We're about half done on the house and I'm feeling good about it.  

See you later.  

Here's the stove.   I tried a new (pinterest inspired) wire whisk.   I love it but think I will try another one before I put the stove in place.   Isn't it cute!  

Retro Kitchen - Quarter Inch Scale

Retro Kitchen by Cascade Miniatures

This is the overall picture of the kitchen. Excuse the fact that it is too light. But it does show the layout of the kitchen. The wallpaper border has pears in it. Plate rack is above refrigerator. I did not use the hutch kit that came with the kit. I finished it and loved it, but wanted more space in my kitchen so I left it out.

I used the plexiglass top and will save the electrical items for another project.

Here is the eating area. I have a copper tray of apples on the table. Love fruit motifs for kitchens. I did not use the wallpaper provided by the kit - I like a bit more bold paper. You can see the wide stripes on wall paper and the matching red and green rugs with pears on them.

Used a large wall picture of pears to continue the pear motif. The counter top has the coffee pot, plates, cake and fancy coffee ready for company.

This picture show a better picture of the counter top.

This was a really fun project. I rarely, if ever, complete a project in the exact manner that the provider of the kit recommends. Must be a personality disorder, but more likely, I like to make it mine. I will add other things when I get a chance to make them. Kids pictures on the fridge, a dish towel or two - perhaps hot pads. Don't know just yet.

Enjoy.
