I figured it out


How to do the ice and water dispenser, that is. It isn't as crooked as it looks in the picture, though. It's set into the door so you could actually put a mini glass in it. I also added shelves to the inside of the doors. My friend is happy.

The next room is the living room. I need to make a couch and chair.

The finished appliances

Here they are. The glue is still drying on some pieces but I'm very happy with the results. If I were to do something like this for an adult's dollhouse I would make the handles much less "clunky." They are perfect, though, for little girls.
The faucet is a screw hook and I reused the cabinet knobs I removed for the handles. The stove knobs are just beads. The fridge and oven handles are strips of balsa sanded into shape and painted.

Feeling better and a project in progress

Thanks again for all of the get well wishes. I am already feeling better and hope to be back to normal (or as normal as I get, lol) within a couple of days.


I'm still working on the dollhouse for my friend's nieces. The kitchen in the house is really tiny so I'm converting a couple of Michael's hutches into the appliances. The double door cabinet is going to become a refrigerator with double doors and a freezer drawer below. I removed the legs and knobs. The other cabinet has been taken apart by microwaving it. The top half will basically stay the same. I just added a shelf to the bottom. I removed the legs from the bottom half, drilled out a sink hole and used the container my daughter's contacts come in for the sink. The cabinet door on the right will become the oven, with an oven style handle. The top on the right will have a cooktop with button burners. The shallow hutches will help with playing room in such a tiny room.
