Rocking chair redux

I posted a picture of my rocking chair on the Half Scale Miniatures Facebook group and got a suggestion to spread out the legs more so the chair wouldn’t look top-heavy. This hadn’t occurred to me, but it seems obvious in hindsight. I wiggled the legs off and removed the stretcher bars, to replace them […]

Cassidy Creations nursery musings

With the Mansard Victorian’s bathroom finally finished, I can now move on to the rooms on either side of it: a bedroom on the left and a nursery on the right. I started with the nursery because the electrical will be a little less complicated. (But only a little.) I originally bought an assembled Cassidy […]

Mansard Victorian – slow bathroom progress

I’ve been working on the Mansard Victorian’s bathroom for way too long. I started it last April when I bashed two Cassidy Creations kits into a linen closet and then dropped off over the summer when Momma’s Kitchen (and a new dog) diverted my attention. In September I got back to it for a little […]

Bauder-Pine pickle crock, and other crockery

Last week I was browsing the Miniature Designs website and happened upon this Bauder-Pine pickle crock. Of course, I had to have it for my Mansard Victorian. Shipping was steep for such a tiny thing, so I threw some wallpaper and strip wood in the cart to qualify for free shipping. I reached out to […]

Kitbashed built-in linen closet

My Mansard Victorian didn’t come with any door holes in the walls. Since it’s a front-opening house, I decided to add false walls with doors along the back wall, to give the illusion that there’s a hallway there. The false wall gives me an opportunity to add a built-in linen closet to the bathroom. I […]

A new Bauder-Pine bed

This week I stumbled upon a Bauder-Pine bed for $17 plus free shipping. Of course I bought it. It’s signed J McC — Jayne McCormick. Since I already have a Bauder-Pine bed for the Mansard Victorian’s downstairs bedroom, I’ll use this one in the attic bedroom. The light green bedding would have gone nicely with […]

Bashed Cassidy Creations cabinets — stove hood

Since my last post about the Mansard Victorian’s kitchen, I finished the second upper cabinet. Then I started thinking about how to make a hood. I was enjoying bashing Cassidy Creations kits into something completely different from their intended purpose, so I sat down with my box of kits and went through them looking for […]

More Cassidy Creations cupboard bashing

Before I get back to the bashed cabinets, here are a few other pieces that will go in the Mansard Victorian’s kitchen. I bought this metal Cassidy Creations sink for a few dollars at a mini flea market. It had already been painted with glossy white paint. The sink has two legs in the front […]

Cassidy Creations kits bashed into kitchen cabinets

When I started reading Nutshell News magazines in the 1990s, some of my favorite articles were the ones that showed how to bash furniture kits into something other than what they were supposed to be. In my quest to furnish the Mansard Victorian (almost) exclusively with Cassidy Creations and Bauder-Pine furniture, I’ll do the same […]

Mansard Victorian – fireplace hearth and flooring

Cute furniture alert! I recently bought this rocking horse off eBay for the Mansard Victorian. It’s made from a Cassidy Creations kit (the same one I finished as a zebra for the Victorianna). The little blue horse toy was a bonus the seller included in the package. I don’t think this was finished by Bauder-Pine. […]

Cassidy Creations Federal fireplace wall kit (part 2)

Continuing with the very complicated Cassidy Creations Federal fireplace wall kit, once the front facade and the back structure were completed, I moved on to the fireplace. The first step was to assemble three pieces to make the back of the fireplace. These pieces had mitered edges to meet up at an angle. The kit […]
