Late last year my friends Debbie Jones of Kitz! and Dana
Burton and I got together on the MiniDollList forum and created a project for
our group.

more kits available. She is our inhabitant. Dressed for a special night on the town.

Debbie sells many miniature kits at great prices for the DIY crowd. Also, if you want a miniature doll she has
contacts for some really talented miniature doll makers.
It was great fun and wonderful confab!
We started with the idea of a 50’s Closet, Dior, Chanel, and
other designers of the 50s. We wanted
something that could be contemporary but perhaps a woman who collected period
clothing and the ideas flowed freely from there. We had a lot of fun doing it and our group
participated in all the best ways, and like Japan month, everyone
contributed.
Each of us had our function; Dana created the doll and doll kits;
I did the design and Debbie did everything else. She did a lot! LOL!
Today I am going to show you the room I designed, and Debbie’s
husband Charles cut for us on a laser. We
spent some time on the design, fitting, and building of the closet. building designing and building the
closet. We all decided on a black and
white base theme as it was to be a closet or dressing room, and we wanted all
our participants to be able to put their own personalities into them.
The entire closet fits into an 8” X 10” picture frame and
fits together using foam core board walls and floor. The closet structure fits within the walls of
the frame. This closet is so expertly
cut, it just slides into the space once it is assembled and painted. The white color allows for all the
accessories to pop.
The Closet.
We looked for this closet to function as any real dressing area
might, concentrating on display. There
is plenty of space for hanging clothes, a vanity, and cute little pouf for a
tuffet (every girl needs one) finally drawers and shelves. Filling and imagining what all will go into it
is such fun!
The Basics
We planned for the demilune table with a picture and
accessories such as a perfume tray, nail polish, a floral display, or whatever
someone wanted there. Kitz! Got it all
together in one place for people to pick and choose what they wanted. No small feat! The picture borrowed from the internet reinforced
the display theme. (the picture was not sold it is a copyrighted item) however a
set of frames were developed, and one could use anything available or their imagination.
