Picture below shows the lengths for each piece of wood to complete the project. Starting with the back of the chair cut the … Continue reading DIY 1:24 Adirondack Chair →

DIY faux Neon Sign

I decided that the perfect addition to my modern bakery would be a beautiful mini neon sign. Mini neon lights were impossible to find so I decided to 3D print and design my own! I started by picking a font for the sign. I knew I wanted cursive so the letters would all be connected. … Continue reading DIY faux Neon Sign →

Cottage Regrets

DIY Fireplace

I wanted the fireplaces to have a brick feel to them. I saw on an instagram post that someone used cork to make bricks and they looked really amazing so I tried it.

Couch Set Update

Last night as I was making a bed for the bedroom I realized how off the scale of the couch and chair were in the living room. 1/24 scale is harder than it looks. It’s a lot of calculations. So I remade the couch set smaller. Still the same way as I did in the … Continue reading Couch Set Update →
