Miniature Kitchen: Upper Cabinets

March 2018: Please note this page needs to be updated and is missing information. I hope to to have a new tutorial up soon. If you have questions in the meantime feel free to contact me!

My custom 1:12 kitchen is moving right along with the front of the upper cabinets completed. These six pane doors have been quite a challenge but are worth every effort.

I have so much extra glue on the panes! Thankfully it comes off with some water.

In other updates, I bought a farmers faucet on ebay last week only to have it arrive too small! I'm using the Elf Miniatures DIY faucet for now and I really like its modern look so it might stay. The sink needs a drain but the porcelain finish is complete.

Now what to do about knobs? I've attached some wooden ones that I got from Elf. I'm not entirely convinced. My bf has suggested that I order the same knobs as used on the bottom two drawers of the Elf oven with a chrome finish. I do like that idea. And with that in mind I was thinking of borrowing from the oven again and using a similar pull bar on the dishwasher panel/cabinet rather then the metal plate with buttons.

And so my cabinets are almost already for paint! I'm nervous of letting go of the beautiful wood finish. Do I stain or paint?

You can see the mess this all has created. Minis and mini related items are filling up my small room. Here's a peek at what is slowly happening in the room beside the kitchen:

In my last post I mentioned that I walked away with two similar but different wing chairs by Bespaq in a recent mini shopping trip. I was fortunate to have family visiting in the area and pick up two more matching chairs to complete the set. In the end it turned out to be a good mistake. The white sofa in the image is from the tutorial I have here , but I have a navy walnut Bespaq sofa on its way too, so exciting! The room is large so it needs lots of furniture.
