Imagine what happens when Wednesday Addams grows up and finds the perfectly dreary Victorian next door. You know she’d choose the most delightfully dilapidated…
Whether you're crafting a minuscule moving mayhem or just adding a touch of "lived-in chic" to your tiny spaces, these boxes are the perfect way to…
This little slice of paradise features soothing neutral colors and relaxing touches that will make you feel like you're on vacation every day. We wanted this room box to feel like a true retreat…
The holiday season can be a bit of a whirlwind, but we wanted to take a moment share a sweet little festive digital download…
There’s just something undeniable about this season—maybe it’s the soft, warm lighting. It could be the smells of cedar and cinnamon. Or the persistent optimism of holiday music…
Grocery shopping is both our favorite and least favorite activity. During the school year, Robb and I treat it as a date. I mean, it’s one time a week that we actually get to spend some money…
Perfectly draped curtains can do so much to finish off a miniature scene. And the right little bit of ripple can be tricky to get right in miniature.
Once upon a time, Robb built a cabin bed for our little one. Eventually, we modified it into a triple bunk bed for all three kiddos. It probably worked it’s way into several of their core memories.
Mail is kind of a mixed bag. On the one hand, there’s the whole mystery of what might appear in your mailbox each day. On the flip of that, bills…
THE FIRST dollhouse Jessica (Craik) Coffee made wasn’t exactly worthy of the pages of American Miniaturist magazine. But, then again, Jessica was 7 years old at the time, and her construction materials were limited to a large cardboard box and pages from the Sears catalog.
I was recently pestering a very well-read friend for book recommendations and boy, did she deliver the goods.
Fabric laundry totes are kind of a big deal in our home. They are perfect for the kids to carry around and they look cute. We’ve made them in miniature as they add that perfect touch of realism to tiny scenes.
Inspired by our three kids, we made this bedroom with a cabin bed, wooden train tracks and plenty of book storage. Is there actual room anywhere this cute? Not yet. It’s currently more of a blank canvas.
What is it about the holidays anyway? I guess the winter months are just darker in the northern hemisphere. Days get shorter, the fog rolls in, the end of your nose is always cold.
While this 1:12 scale home has just two rooms, it still manages to ooze character from its wood beam detailing down to the sweet awning above the double door.
Interior design, obscure history and everything home decor meet up in The Elements of a Home. Confession time—I love some good obscure facts.
Is anything more classic than a marbled cover composition notebook? We were giddy to see them on our 5th grader’s school supply list and couldn’t resist making some in 1:12. 📓📓
We’re so excited to show off this little cutie that we designed and are producing in our home. More than a room box, yet small enough to find a place in any room, the Mini Modern Farmhouse is available in three options.
They highs, the lows, the epic journey—fasten your seatbelts—it’s Mod Podge time! If you’ve never used Mod Podge before, it’s a bit of a revelation.
If you’ve been looking for an alternative to basic mini wood siding, there is good news. And yes, we’re talking about board and batten. Historically, board and batten exterior siding goes way back—think right after log cabins.

If we had to imagine our ideal project, it would likely go exactly like this one. The key ingredient is partnering with great people, and we got to work with the pros over at The Washington Post.
I judged a book by its cover. I was not disappointed. I’ve read it twice now, so it was time to share—The Miniaturist. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a book about miniatures.
So, you’ve got your miniature house built, the walls are painted and the flooring is down. What’s next? Well, probably furniture. But after that, it’s time to decorate the walls! Nothing adds realism quite like tiny little framed artwork.
What’s the trickiest aspect of miniatures? Honestly, probably every time that I knock something over with my Ginormica hands.
The opportunity to explore Robb and Jess Coffee’s Long Farmhouse in depth was irresistible. With it’s roomy interior and beautiful tall windows, the farmhouse delivers the perfect combination of on trend home comforts and quality contemporary design.
We’re loving so many things about our new home town, and the magnolia trees are definitely a highlight. While traipsing with the family through our neighborhood this week, I spotted a broken magnolia branch on the ground.
The kitchen of the Long Farmhouse was always going to be the biggest challenge. The room is really only accessible through the windows!
Dollhouses are having a bit of a moment. You may have recently seen them on your Instagram feed, in the New York Times, or as part of Cold Picnic’s latest “lookbook.”

The Long Farmhouse originally had quite a few smaller (and sometimes nearly inaccessible) rooms. So, when we started busting out walls and making new windows, we ended up with this very spacious, airy room.
It’s nice to meet you!
I made my first dollhouse when I was about seven. Armed only with a cardboard box and a giant Sears catalog, I set to work.
My parents were relieved, because for awhile I stopped trying to rearrange the furniture in our family home.
When I started renovating a thrifted dollhouse in January of 2019, I had no idea how much it would change my life. It was clear I was in for an adventure, and that I would need some help.

I would not have expected to be crafting miniatures. But… I’ve been a builder and maker for years, and after remodeling our last three homes, I’m ready for projects of all sizes.
Taking out extra walls and cutting new windows are all in a days’ work. But so is designing 3D models, finishing and painting resin pieces and filming miniature spaces.
And, when I finally get a break, you’ll probably find me shaping a new surfboard (1:12 scale, of course).
