Puzzles make great modern flooring!
Everyday objects repurposed, Furniture and decor I've purchased, Handmade decor for my mini houseI found some wooden puzzles on clearance at Michael’s recently. They make great flooring for a dollhouse or room box. Take a look at this little modern lounge:
A mini book signing
A new house flipping project, Everyday objects repurposed, Furniture and decor I've purchased, Handmade decor for my mini houseI’m planning to design new author business cards soon, so I have a big stack of old ones that I was going to recycle. Lucky for me, I realized they’d make perfect mini books! Once I made a few, I was inspired to stage this mini book signing.
The tiny handbag is made from a coaster. The newspaper is an image I found online, shrunk down, and printed out.
You know how I love a tiny bunting or garland to festive-ize a room box!
These coasters are great for all kinds of dollhouse and room box projects!

It’s filled with never-before-seen photos and projects that are sure to inspire. It’s now available as a Kindle eBook (included in Kindle Unlimited) and paperback.

A poppy-papered writing studio
UncategorizedTime to catch up on letter writing in this poppy-papered studio!
This poor little dog has been dirty ever since he had to live in a flower pot one summer. I can’t get him clean! But how can I throw him away? He’s too cute.
Coffee, puppy, poppies. Ready to catch up on letter writing!
FEATURED MINIATURIST: Madeline Thoman of La Vie Mini
Blogs and websites that inspire, UncategorizedOne of my favorite things about Flip This (Mini) House is that it helps me connect with other miniaturists. Madeline Thoman of La Vie Mini recently got in touch with me. I just had a chance to check out her website and it’s AMAZING. If you love all things mini, like I do, you’ll adore her curated ensemble of interesting stories and tiny treasures.
One of the more fascinating posts is this one about a father who created a dollhouse grave for his daughter.

There’s a definite dark, beautiful quirkiness associated with dollhouses and miniatures, and La Vie Mini captures it perfectly.

Blogs and websites that inspire, UncategorizedA new mini house to flip?
A new house flipping projectI got together with my friend Janet a few days ago. You may remember her as the friend who found my original mini house at a flea market, back in the summer of 2014. It was just $35! She and her husband then brought it to me and the blog Flip This (Mini) House was born.
Well… She’s at it again. Here’s her latest find. This one I got for the low price of free. It’s in pretty bad shape, but, like my original project, I see a great deal of potential in it. I’m not really sure that I’m ready for another mini house flipping project just yet, but maybe when the snow begins to fall outside I’ll change my mind.

Creating a one-of-a-kind end table for under a buck
Handmade decor for my mini houseA simple, inexpensive way to create a unique end table for your mini home is to pair a garage sale figurine with a mirror.
Here are my garage sale panda and a bag of mirrors from my local craft store:
Moments later, and with the help of a dab of glue, we have this:
Finished product:
Once the glue dried, I paired my table with different furniture and placed it in different rooms, seeing where it worked best.
It must be the animal lover in me, but now I feel kind of sorry for this panda. Like maybe I could have left it alone and not turned it into a table.
Well, I guess it is what it is isn’t.
