I think you did a great job. Very realistic and perfectly scaled.

Very nice Chipmunk! I built my daughter a dollhouse when she was just knee high to a grasshopper and she spent most of her younger years collecting furniture for it. She's in her late forties now and the last time I knew she's still got it. Tells me that she plans someday to set it up on permanent display.

You do very nice work. It is very difficult building 1/12 scale furniture and making it look good. The wood does not scale and the grain can cause some pieces to look weird. You seem to have gotten the correct look.
I did a doll house for my granddaughter. There are pictures of it on my furniture website. I did not make any furniture other than what came in the kit. I did add oak flooring. Cut my own veneer.
I thought about furniture kits but put my time into doing full size furniture for our own house.
Thank for sharing your work.

Your furniture is beautiful. I wish I could see it in person. The details and construction designs were obviously a great deal of work.
Thanks for letting us see it.

I think you got the scale perfect. What's the ladder thingy? Or is that the stairs I'm seeing from a bad angle?
