Coaster Turned Dollhouse Coffee Table
My favorite miniatures are those that don’t cost much to make, just a little creativity. When you get into dollhouses and miniatures, you quickly realize it can be a very expensive hobby if you want to shop for premade furniture and accessories. When I was a kid, I would get dollhouse catalogs and circle everything I wanted. I remember thinking “someday I will buy all of these!” Now, I would rather save my money and make as much as I can for the dollhouses on my own. Today, I am showing how I made a coffee table for our dollhouse living room with some simple materials I had lying around…

Dollhouse Kitchen Hutch Makeover
Hi Friends! I hope you had a great weekend! We are having a busy summer here, but I found some time to photograph more miniatures to share with you this week. Today, I am going to show you a simple makeover that I gave to our dollhouse’s vintage kitchen hutch. I can’t remember for sure how we came about this cute little wooden cabinet, but I think it may have been one of the pieces of furniture that came with our garage sale dollhouse.

DIY Modern Dollhouse Potted Plants
Hey Friends! I am here with my first miniature post since moving my blog to WordPress and my new web url alicewingerden.com! As I mentioned in my last post, I plan on sharing a lot more posts about dollhouses and miniatures. This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. I will still share my own home décor posts and craft projects, but right now with three kids under the age of 7, the house is not often in a “photo worthy state.” And rather than spending my time feeling bad about this and beating myself up for not being able to…

A Season of Change
Hello! It has been awhile since I have posted and I have missed the blogging world! If you are a regular, you will notice some changes around here. First of all…”around here” has moved! I finally decided to take the plunge and move to WordPress. Something I have been on the fence about for about four years. One day, I just decided to google articles on how to do it myself and voila…here we are. Then, I decided to add a few more changes while I was at it, like dropping my former blog name “Thoughts from Alice” and just using my own name: Alice Wingerden. Be sure to note…

Gold Light Fixtures in the Kitchen
I have partnered with Bellacor.com for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. Well, hello there! It’s been a few months since I have popped in over here with an update, but I am excited to be back with you today. Life with the little ones and working on our new home has kept me busy as of late. I am definitely enjoying watching Hazel, Owen and Violet grow and don’t want to miss a moment of it. We have been working on making the home we purchased last summer into our own. The biggest transformation, so far, has definitely taken place in the kitchen. The…

Christmas in the Dollhouse
It’s never too late for a holiday home tour in miniature is it? I spent a lot of time getting our dollhouse “just right” for the holidays, but never got around to photographing it till now. I hope you enjoy the tour even though it comes a bit after the holiday season! Our dollhouse has been a work in progress for a couple of years, and still has some rooms that aren’t finished, but I hope to get to work on those as soon as time allows. And we have fun playing with and decorating it no matter how far along we are in the miniature renovation! This post contains…
