I've got to say this might just be my most favourite mini scene that I've ever done! I was inspired to create for the MinisModernas contest and created this contemporary loft overlooking downtown Vancouver, Canada. I was inspired by this real life loft space I saw on google w…
Here it is! Back in March I hinted about doing a giveaway to celebrate my first year of blogging here on Paper Doll Minis and to thank all my followers for your support and encouragement. I ran into a few hurdles while making the pieces (thus the delay) but it's finally happening! Sin…
A big hello to all my new followers! It's been awhile here. The first two weeks after Easter I spent in a rut. I just could not figure out the windows for the kitchen nook. Ever get that way when planning things out? I decided instead to change things up and now I've got a few new…
I hope you are all having a wonderful Easter weekend. I want to thank you all for your kind words and encouragement on my last post. I was planning on doing

At last a requested and long promised post. And I'll admit it's a little longer then usual. I did my best to explain everything and tried to find as many of the process images as I could. These cabinets were a first run of trial and error and are not perfect by any means, …
Happy Valentine's Day! I decided to put together a themed scene this week. On display are my new Bespaq dining chairs which I finished upholstering, and lots of other diy projects I finished over the last two weeks.
A mini update friends, I know I've been away from blogging for a few weeks. I've done some minor updates to the kitchen: side paneling, under cabinet trim, and beginning to upholster my new kitchen and dining chairs. Overall everything seems to be mid-project. The one major renovation …
A little Christmas baking has been going on this month. I didn't get as much done mini wise the last few weeks. I had hoped to create a more developed scene. Still, I am very pleased with the clay items I made and my attempt at a tree.
