About this product

Product Information

Anyone who has ever hankered after a country retreat in which to escape their cares and worries can have one if only in 1/12 scale. In her superbly presented book Christine-Lea Frisoni explains how to make a beautiful miniature French country house. Dressed in an elegant style of faded grandeur, the dolls' house is full of period features and exhibits plenty of vintage appeal. It will delight all those who love the shabby chic as well as appreciate the antique. Having made the dolls' house, Christine--Lea explains how to build up the wall panels to provide deep recesses, fancy panelling and wall niches to add character - ideas that can be translated to any existing dolls' house. Instructions to make a range of French-style furniture, fittings and even flowers are included: chairs, a folding screen, ornate light sconces, fireplaces, dressing tables, window dressing, right down to the kitchen sink! All these are items that can be added to your own dolls' house. The book includes examples of other miniature rooms guaranteed to delight the reader, even those not disposed to DIY. And if that's not enough, there is a gallery of dolls' houses at the end of the book to inspire. Many of the dolls' houses, like the one Christine-Lea builds here, have a fixed front and open back. We view interiors as tiny microcosms of perfect worlds. Who wouldn't want to live here? The book includes: . Basic house construction . Electrification . Building the hallway, kitchen, dining room, stairwell, bathroom, living room, bedroom and nursery . Furnishing your miniature house . Decorating your creation . Inspiration from a selection of the author's own miniature houses AUTHOR: Miniaturist Christine-Lea Frisoni has based this book on her own extensive experience of interior decor, adapted to the miniature world. She is inspired by the decorative arts of the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe, French castles and interior decorating books and magazines. Christine-Lea aims to reproduce objects in a realistic way to conserve the memory, lifestyle and decor of bygone eras. A number of her personal creations can be found in private collections worldwide.

  • Stunning book!

    This book is a must have for any dolls house collector and those whom are interested in the miniature world. This book offers tips on building and decorating your dolls house, but in my opinion (as my dolls house is now complete) i love this book for the stunning, great quality photos of wonderful miniature French style rooms. One if not the best book i have purchased on miniature houses! :)
