Product Description |
|
Take a tour through the miniature Victorian house—from the hustle and bustle of the basement kitchen, the impressive hallway, to the grand dining room and comfortable parlor—and make projects for every room. Using basic tools and materials, beginners will enjoy crafting the waxed sugar dome and dressing table set, while for the more experienced miniaturist there is the challenge of a traveling trunk or four-poster bed. Each project is accompanied by historical information, providing a real insight into the lives of the Victorians to help bring your dolls’ house to life. |

Projects very primitive |
|
I bought this book based on reviews, but was very disappointed. It is filled with simplistic projects that produce crude results, not likely to satisfy the modern sophisticated dollhouse collector. The description of daily activities in a Victorian home is mildly interesting, but nothing you will not already know if you collect miniatures. Basically, the author sounds like a nice lady, but the book is a waste of money and time. |

Living in the Victorian Era with Christiane Berridge |

The book 'Victorian Dolls' House Projects: A Day in the Life' by Christiane Berridge, is to me, one of the most interesting books I have ever purchased on the Victorian Dolls' House era. Her down-to-earth manner of explaining things and making use of every-day items in and around your home, are all you will need to further enthuse you in creating items for your hobby. Christiane, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! |

The projects in this book are great and are suited to beginner doll house enthusiasts or more experienced. The information about Victorian life is presented in an interesting way, looking at how a typical Victorian day progresses from early morning to night, with interesting and fairly simple projects to accompany the text. Highly recommended for anyone aiming for a Victorian doll house! |
