The interior fixtures are made of of a couple bashed kits and some scratch made displays to fit the space. -
Hi y'all! Working on a Sugarplum that I've had for years.... finally just going for it! Since it's slightly smaller than 1:12 if anyone has suggestions for furniture, please let me know! DIY is fine… Thanks!

I have a commission to build the Sugarplum! My client provided the kit and would like me to give it more of a ‘cape cod’ look. I’ve cut out an additional dormer window in the attic space and I’ve decided to turn the front window into a window seat. I also cut an opening for a narrow stairway. I know the sugarplum is a popular kit- I’m hoping for some tips and advice on the best methods to alter the design. This is the first time I’ve altered a kit and I’m kind of making it up as I go!

I have a Sugarplum kit that I was thinking of making into a little English cottage for a nice little Grandma. I wanted to have a nice little kitchen with an aga stove and a parlour with a fireplace and a cosy area for afternoon tea, maybe a loveseat, two chairs, and a place by the door for an umbrella stand etc. While looking over the pieces in the kit, I realized the dimensions are really too little for what I want to do. So, I want to try something else; a shop, small school or very small inn, maybe a guest house...I don't really know. Can I get some ideas from others? My interests include teaching, quilting, flowers, reading, photography, traveling and staying in quaint hotels, but I am open to ideas outside of this scope.

I am back to (finally) working on the Sugarplum! The outside is going to get a paint/color makeover because I don't care for the warm white and barn wood colors. I need to go with white white/gray as originally planned... -

It was a pretty thick window, so luckily I was able to pry two of the layers off so that it will better fit the thin plywood opening. I have another window, but not sure where to put it at this point since the space on the opposite end of the upstairs wall is slated for the chimney. -

I am back to (finally) working on the Sugarplum! The display units are made up of bashed/modified kits and scratch built units. These have been built and finish sanded. Next steps are to add appliques/textured stickers and then start the chalk paint layers. I'm hoping that the displays look charmingly shabby, and the goods they hold look chic! To follow along on the build, my blog is: my-miniaturemadness.blogspot.com I'll be exploring techniques in mold making/casting, polymer clay products, sewing, fabric printing on my pc, and making plain fixtures and accessories a little shabby, and a little chic! It's going to be so much fun! -

I need to go with white white/gray as originally planned... I'll see how the stones look against the gray - they may get a facelift, too! -

I couldn't figure out what to do with the door (I didn't like the plan wood door included with the Sugarplum) so I decided to make a unique door with polymer clay. But now I'm having the problem of molding. I want to do molding around door but not quite sure how to achieve the rounded top. Amy suggestions? Also, what do you use for Windows? thanks in advance. BTW, the polymer clay worked like a peach for anyone who is having a similar problem. Great way to create your very own piece (for whatever)
