Updated Settee...

I updated this wonderful settee with 100% white linen, took away the arms, added trim, darken the legs and added a lovely left printed graphic pillow filled with sand to give a realistic look.

Wall Storage...

Over the last few weeks I have been working on wall shelves. I finally am getting around to painting. Just finished this one in a nice Annie Sloan Old White. I aged it just a bit to give it a used look.
Find it in my Etsy Shop, fabulouslyflawedmini.

Parson Chairs and Farm Tables...

I am so excited about this project! Parson Dining Chairs and an Old Farm Table. I created the chair pattern in Illustrator, cut out several with my Cricut, and now I'm working on the upholstery.
I plan on staining the farm table and painting the legs with Annie Sloan Pure White and age it to make it look old. Gotta go cook right now, but might be working late tonight ;).

Here's a peek:

Lots of Accessories This Week...

A super busy week as I continue building the Travel Trailer, as well as make accessories for the decor. 

I started the week off with a small tray. I used paint samples swatches from Home Depot and a super small square punch for the mosaic. For the grout, I mixed white sugar and glue. Once dried, I used clear nail polish to seal it. The wood is painted with Annie Sloan Old White Chalk Paint.   

Kat from Kitty and Kat Miniatures sent me a package of wonderful mini's for the trailer.  I could not wait to finish the mattress for the iron bed to show off two beautiful, tiny xstitched pillows included in that "mini goodie package". Big hugs to Kat.

I found tutorials for the purse and tiny mini house. I just modified to my style. 

The shelf TV and Record Player is something that I always wanted to try. I had two 1 inch square boxes made from mat board staring at me as I was working the purse, next thing I knew I was building a TV and Record Player. Although I love the look, I see room for improvement (Still working on the TV knobs).

Lastly, I asked mom if she would knit a hat and scarf the the trailer, 2 days later I received a package with several in wonderful colors. She gifted me a few to sell on Etsy…love her!!

Happy Weekend:)

New Shelf Blanket Colors...

New Faux Shelf Blanket Colors

I have uploaded new shelf blanket covers. These are great for adding interest to your shelves and bedroom cabinets. They are made to create the illusion of blankets without the bulk. I have some that have a beautiful multi color, as well as plain color stacks. Sold in stacks of 3.
Find them in my Etsy shop.

Blankets on a 1 inch deep shelf, they fit perfectly and no bulk

The faux blanchets work well on shelves that are 1 1/2 deep too!

Vintage Leather Miniature Chair...

Okay, so I have been working on this one for a few days. I worked slowly and carefully until it was all done:0!
Made from a distressed leather with leather piping, I wanted it to have a "kinda old vibe" with a little Restoration Hardware influence.  I think it's cool, I mean really cool! Find it in my Etsy shop this evening (one of a kind ;)
Going to disappear for a the rest of the week…need to do some serious cleaning.
Have a great rest of week and weekend.

Miniature French Grain Sack Inspired Upholstered Chair...

Last night I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning working on a project that I have been thinking (obsessing) about since I started working on the upholstered chairs.

The idea was to create a French Grain Sack Upholstered Chair. I actually have a few French Grain Sacks, but the fabric is much too thick to work in miniature, so I had to improvise. I chose a coarse linen. I was going for a vintage, stained look, so I pulled out a bunch of tea bags. I let the fabric absorb the tea color, then I sat tea bags here and there to get darker spots. While the fabric was drying I built the frame for the chair. (I'm getting really fast at building the frames…yahoo!)

I was very careful upholstering, as I only had a small amount of that tea stained fabric. Turns out I had just the right amount. Any mistakes…I would have been in trouble and in tears.

Here's how it turned out:

Choose Your Style...

Finished out the first group of placemats and napkins today. They all are a set of 4, with a few coming in sets of 2 or 4.  I will be adding this group the the shop tomorrow afternoon. I'm a little obsessed with these right now, so I will be creating a few more sets in brighter colors.
They really are adorable. :)

Miniature Dollhouse Placemats...

I'm back after a few weeks of working on my daughters new "little girl, turned big girl" room. Happy to get back to mini work, even though I am slowing working on our bedroom update.

A customer asked me about placemats. I never thought of that idea, so I was super excited to give it a try. Today, I made a tester to see how they could possibly turn out. The size of the placemat is 1 x1 1/2. I see a few adjustments I could make, but overall I am happy with the results. I have some great ideas for napkins rings and I plan on making plain fabric sets, as well as sets with designs in the fabric.
