When you work with minis it almost seems your eyeballs become smaller. Or maybe it is your brain. At any rate when my eyes saw this my mind said...O-O-O-O look at the bookshelf/wall unit! It is actually a printer's draw. No, not the kind you plug in,but the person who used to print newspapers and things with a machine. One end has an easily removable handle and is just the right size for a mini scene. I put some of my magazines in it to show the scale. It is also compared with a standard commercial dollhouse bookshelf I bought on eBay.

I love the various size shelves |
|
There is one screw on either side of the handle. I am sure I will find a use for that too lol |
|
The smaller one does not cover a whole wall. The larger one can be a whole wall lol |
|
Speaking of magazines...here is another one I made |
|
Interior two pages of same magazine |
|
These folks are just hanging out and deciding on what kind of room this will be. |
|
I thought this would be a cute store front once the back is taken off...and used for something else of course. This is to show the size compared to the other box. |
|
As you can see the racks are the length of the walls in the larger box. A store maybe? The little red house is somewhere between a large dog house and a child's playhouse. | | |
Some of the cashiers at the thrift shop I bought these in just can't figure out what I am doing with all of this stuff. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for the things I buy. One day I will explain. LOL

Wyrna,
DeleteCool huh? I want to make it one of those variety book/magazine stores for my neighborhood. I will be on the hunt for things to fill it.
Hello Grandmommy,
ReplyDeleteThose are such great items to use in miniature. With your imagination I know it will be wonderful. I would not say anything tot he cashiers...keep them guessing ;)
Big hug,

Giac,
DeleteIt will be an adventure to decide how to use these. My goal is to used them somehow in the "neighborhood."
I do get a giggle from their looks and sometimes even their questions.
