I am a woodworker at heart!  Below are just a few of the special items I have built or assembled from metal kits:
 


Custom sink & Work Table made of solid cherry.

 

I searched diligently for that "Welsh" dresser so common in Georgian homes, but to no avail.  So, I built this one from cherry wood using a pattern in my dollhouse books.  All the dishes are handmade!

 


Phoenix white metal kit - assembled but unpainted

This is the kitchen fireplace/hearth.  Here's the finished stove painted black with gold accents.  A brass drying rack will be installed above the stove.   There is a colorful delft tile treatment on the back and side walls of the hearth.


 

This gorgeous spiral staircase was a kit I purchased years ago.  It took a lot of finesse to get all the steps assembled and spaced properly.  Now I just need to figure out how to make the railing.

 

Custom staircase.  The last three steps were cut off and turned on an angle.  Then a new landing step was made.  All the stair treads and sides are cut from 1/16" cherry.

 

I took a class on making "swags & tails" given by Judee Williamson & Nicole Walton Marble.  This is the window treatment I made at that workshop.  Not too bad for a first attempt!
