Finally, after years, something has happened in my dollhouse again!
My husband added strips of wood to the front of each shelf,
each one a centimeter wider
This way, the warm white LED strip could be attached to the back of the wooden strip
The strips are connected to each other with wires that had to be soldered
With a remote control, the light can be dimmed — from bright to atmospheric lighting
I got this idea after a visit to the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem,
where the dollhouse is illuminated in the same way
The bright light is useful when working on the dollhouse
The ambient lighting is also convenient during the day,
as it allows you to see everything much more clearly
Soon, I hope to resume construction
I’ll be fixing the interior walls, laying the floor in the attic, putting up wallpaper,
and adding beams to the ceiling
I’ve chosen this wallpaper for the attic:
“Light Weathered Victorian Brick Mix” from Art of Mini
This is what the cabinet looked like at the start
Art of Mini has new Christmas miniatures available in their webshop
Here are a few examples below

Doctor’s bag in 1:12 scale made from very thin leather
during a workshop by Wim van Soest
Finished with tiny buckles, and the bag can actually be opened
It was quite a bit of fiddly work, but the result turned out beautifully!
I framed the bag together with some medical miniatures and
the invitation to a party to give as a gift to a doctor
Diaper cake with a mushroom and crocheted figures made for my grandson
It was a lot of fun to make!
I made the mushroom out of air-dry clay
The little house of Wipneus and Pim, inspired by
the storybooks I used to read to my children
At the craft store, I bought a half foam ball and placed it on top of an empty bucket
I covered the half ball with air-drying clay and used the back of a marker
to press small circles into the clay
I inserted toothpicks into the chimney to keep it upright,
otherwise it wouldn’t stay in place
I placed the little bucket on top of a flowerpot to make it easier
to work on and also covered it with clay
After that, I painted everything and glued on the decorations
