My Dolls House Kitchen - 1/12th Scale Kitchen Base Unit Tutorial

The second piece of furniture for my dolls house kitchen, is this fabulous 7 drawer base unit. I’m really pleased with how it looks alongside the sink unit. It’s really easy to create a fitted-kitchen in your dolls house, by extending worktops to create corners and by joining units too, which I explain in detail in my book, Creating Dolls House Kitchens in 1/12th Scale. I also show you how to plan your kitchen layout and build a range of base and wall units to create your very own custom built dolls house kitchen. You can buy the book, along with the other three I’ve written, from Amazon, just search for Julie Warren.
