I scratch built a mirror from frame strip wood and plastic mirror sheet by Darice. This inexpensive material is awesome…it is thin enough to be cut with scissors to any size or shape and it has a perfect mirror finish. Much easier than using real glass mirrors for minis. The mirror looks scratched and cloudy in the photos since I haven’t removed the protective film yet.
The House of Miniatures dresser is mocked up here without the drawers…or glue for that matter. :]
I finished the pieces with IKEA antique pine stain to match the bed and side table, also shown in the photo.
I sealed the stain with satin varnish by Delta Ceramcoat. It gives the wood a soft, subtle finish that I think looks very realistic in miniature.
The dresser kit went together flawlessly. I’ve used jewelry findings for the knobs.
I just love the finish and details of this dresser…
