Victorian Dolls' House Projects: A Day in the Life

This book is jam-packed with unusual and fun-to-make projects and, with a highly original approach, Christiane Berridge takes the reader through the day, from morning to night-time, bringing the Victorian dolls’ house to life. There is something for all levels of ability: beginners will enjoy making the sugar cone, waxed flower dome and dressing table set, while for the more experienced miniaturist there is the challenge of the travelling trunk or four-poster bed. From the hustle and bustle of the basement kitchen, the impressive hallway, the grand dining room and comfortable parlour, to the elegant bedrooms, this is a tour through the Victorian house that offers over 70 projects for every room. All projects use basic tools and materials.
