🌟 What's in today's video?
In this video diary entry (part 36 of my doll’s house transformation series), I show you how I created a handmade 1:12 scale miniature sofa inspired by mid-century modern design (with a twist of classic Chesterfield charm). This tiny sofa features sleek, clean lines, a mustard yellow finish, and (what’s meant to be!) delicate button tufting details at the back, bringing a bold statement to the modern apartment I’m building inside a second-hand doll’s house. Made from many recycled everyday materials (the fabric is from a second-hand curtain, and the wadding is from a Hello Fresh box), this DIY dollhouse furniture piece is perfect for miniature enthusiasts, collectors, or anyone looking to add stylish, realistic touches to their dollhouse interiors. Follow along as I document the journey of turning a forgotten doll’s house into a contemporary warehouse conversion!

🪑A little bit of information about my doll's house:
I’m currently transforming this second hand doll’s house, which I bought from a charity shop at my local recycling centre, into a twelfth scale converted warehouse with a miniature modern art gallery below and a mid-century modern / scandi-style apartment above. I document each part of the makeover here on my YouTube channel - from an interior restructure to miniature furniture and accessories... I plan on trying to make it all! If you’d like to watch previous videos, please have a look at my playlist, where you can see the doll’s house makeover from the start!
