Back To Minis

Now that the holidays are over I can get back to working on my many unfinished projects.

 

This project was started about 4 years ago. I used a box from work that came from a drug rep. At this point it just needs to be trimmed out. The cardboard is pretty flexible. In hindsight, I would not use it again, but what's is done is done.

 

I cut channel molding to frame out the box.

 

The dresser was given to me by my Great Aunt Edna, my Grandma's little sister. I love that I can see my Grandma's notes from her build on the back side of the drawers. I miss her writing.

 

I drilled a hole into the back of the box and into the back of the dresser to be able to hang it on a wall.

 

My Grandma made the rug and the umbrella. The kitten on the rug was from her collection. I plan to put a photo of my grandparents on the right side of the dresser. Just needs some crown molding and baseboards.

 

 

Grandma's Dresser

I have had her High Boy (Is that what this is called?) but it is to tall to fit in any of my houses. She made this from a kit at least 20 years ago. I used a box from a drug rep that came from work. Papered the back with victorian paper from Itsy Bitsy Mini, placed a scrap of wood flooring down with a rug that my Grandma made and stood her hand made umbrella against the dresser. The kitten hiding under the dresser also belonged to Grandma. The mirror and purses are just little items I had on hand. I am thinking of putting my Grandparents wedding photo on the wall, along with my Dad's Army photo. I know they are not victorian, but that is ok.

This is how the box looked when I brought it home:
