This is a blog about my passion: dollhouses and miniatures. This particular blog was started to follow my miniature dream: to create a Victorian Mansion. But work on my Mansion is slow. Very slow. Sloth slow. Ice Age glacier movement slow. Why? Because I am easily distracted by other personal miniature projects (I have 50+ roomboxes and 15 dollhouses in various stages of incompletion) and because I work for a miniature shop and am often up to my elbows in miniature projects that aren't mine! So, I thought, some artists work in a particular medium (woods, watercolors, clay, oils, etc.), I work in progress . . . .

Upper Cabinets Finally Done!
Took me much longer and hit more snags that I thought possible but it's finally done! Enjoy the pictures and the video at the end (sorry there is no entertaining music for the video - turns out you can't add music if the video is more than 60 seconds).
Filled with dishes
Was surprised to discover that I had more than enough dishes to flush it out. Technically there are 2 open/empty shelves that I am temporarily storing some platters in/on, but overall, it is fairly full.
Installed some strip lighting across the tops inside and ran the wires out the back so it'll light up too. Wish the light filtered down more than 2 shelves, but now I know and have learned: I should have made the middle shelf wooden instead of glass and ran more lighting under there to light up the bottom 2 shelves too. But I'm not taking this thing apart and reworking it AGAIN.
With the lights on

Also added some velvet paper and wooden dividers to the drawers for the utensils...
Had a surprising amount of silverware too
Here's the video on YouTube:
Funny how you can accumulate things when you've been collecting for a project for 34 years! And now they all have a place to be displayed.
