Has anyone seen "The Miniaturist" on PBS? It is based on a novel by Jessie Burton, the story is set during the 17th century Dutch Golden Age, where a young girl marries a rich merchant who bequeaths her a beautiful dollhouse. Without giving much away, it is a fascinating story full of intrigue, involving the dollhouse, the elusive miniaturist, and the dollhouse owner. The production brought on Mulvany & Rogers to make the 17th dollhouse replica. If you have not seen it, it is a good watch on a lazy afternoon.

The table (with the extension under the window) I made from a HOM kit. The dry-sink is a Chrysnbon kit, and the ice-box I made myself from a pattern I found in a book (30 years ago).© Checkmouse

The barrel is actually a puzzle that had belonged to my grandfather, who was the only one who could put it back together. It has remained that way since he died in 1952. I had it in my first bookcase dollhouse, and always wanted to add apples to the top, making it look like a barrel full of apples. Finally did it! The apples are glued to piece of clear acrylic, not to the actual puzzle. The picture on the wall is of my great-great-grandmother, who lived in the era of this house.© checkmouse

Strapped into the back seat of the car - heading off the WA State Fair. I don't expect to win any prizes on this because it is out of scale, but I wanted to take it anyway.© checkmouse

Sugar, salt and pepper stay on the table - candles are ready to be lit for the evening meal. The child's dress on the ironing board is one I got from a sale at NAME.© checkmouse

In the bare, unremodeled attic, I have one little micro house - plain, and painted with glitter paint, and one little angel figurine. I have replaced the original back wall of the attic, but not with the 99 (or so) nails that were used the first time. I have 3 elbow hooks which can be easily twisted to remove the wall. Inside I place a motion-sensor battery operated light, so when someone gets close to peer into the attic, the light comes on and illuminates the figures. This is just my tribute to the little girl for whom this house was built, 100 years ago.© checkmouse

Planned to make an apple tree for the yard, but ran out of time, so these smaller trees will have to do.© checkmouse

I figured there should be an apple crate somewhere in the house, so I made a printie replica of the crates used to build the dollhouse, complete with the stenciled logo that is on the floor of the attic.© checkmouse

One of the printies I made as an apple crate, with the same company logo as the bigger house, doubles as Emily's toybox. Her teddy bear and a book are in it.© checkmouse

Finally coming in on the home stretch. The ceiling moulding held me up for awhile because I had to order more - then wait for it. This will be the little girl's room.© Checkmouse
