We built a new kitchen! I wanted to share all of the photos in one place and also to share them with my blog followers who are not on Instagram!
Kitchen Tour
Click on the photos below to view in a slideshow.
I built this kitchen in a 24 X 36 inch Home Depot shelf unit . The walls are constructed with 1/2 inch foam core board and the floors are large paint stir crafts sticks. I build out all of my cabinets using high quality foam core board and cover them in 1/16 inch craft wood and trim.
The Appliances
Click on the photos below to view in a slideshow.
All of the appliances are hand made with the exception of the fridge. The fridge is the only item I ended up repurposing from our old kitchen. The appliances are open and are semi functional! The gem of the appliances is definitely the miniature replica of the La Cornue oven . That project basically sparked the inspiration to create an entirely new kitchen for the minis.
The Kitchen in Action
We hope you love our kitchen! This is a project that I am really proud of and look forward to photographing it a lot in the future…after all the kitchen is the heart of the home.
Thank you for visiting! As always, we hope we offered a little inspiration and keep on creating!

Thank you! I found a chair on Wayfair and sketched out a pattern. The legs are real wood and I carved the legs a bit. You can get some great doll upholstery tips on Poppyseedmini’s YouTube channel. Check out the Sofia chair tutorial. 😊

Where did you find your turning for the legs on the table and stool?

The legs on the table are a Darice product – candlesticks. The bench uses legs from the hardware store. Smaller hardware stores have selections of small spindles. Depending where you are, I’ve heard Menard’s (sp?) sells them. The stools are just craft wood I carved a bit. 😊

Do you sell your items?

Hi, I have an Etsy shop, but I’m currently low on inventory and working on new items. I don’t sell anything as large as kitchen sets, mainly furniture and accessories. 😊

I meant to add, do you have the kitchen cabinets and appliances for sell? Do you take special orders?

No, I do not, this was a personal project. I don’t plan on making these items as the time and labor was extreme. I am not taking custom requests at this time. If I could do this full time it would be a different story.

I used your kitchen as inspiration for my first project, I loved it so much.
How did you make the dishwasher racks, I can’t find anything similar to use.
Beautiful job, you must be so proud. I love that everything looks so perfect, you have given me something to aim for. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I wish I could get back into it. I do absolutely love the kitchen and would like to finish the livingroom and Bruni’s bedroom! I used plastic mesh that can be found at most craft stores, it even comes in silver these days.

Wow, stunning! How did I miss this before?!! In the future, I’d love to see some “in progress” pics of your construction. Love the idea that you covered the foam pieces in wood and were able to trim them out! Sounds intimidating, would help seeing how you did it. Beautiful, well done and very realistic… wow, just wow!! And, that stove!! Would love a tutorial on how to make one!! Best kitchen I’ve ever seen!!

Thank you, I’ll be honest, I enjoy sharing DIYs, but my real passion is my personal diorama projects and for my own mental state and enjoyment, I don’t always document the process. I just need to create on my own. When I share these types of room, they are for inspiration, but are far too difficult to share as a DIY. I try to share basic skills and tools that help you to improve your skills and creativity.

I understand completely, I can get in a zone crafting… can completely imagine how difficult it would be to stop and take pics and/or spoil the moment. Still I do wish… always wishing for something!!
