Personalising barewood bedroom furniture • Barewood dolls house furniture is wonderfully simple, affordable and understated but its real beauty is the versatility it offers to be stained, painted or adapted according to your personal taste. Carrie Yeo is a miniaturist from Arizona who is active on Instagram and Tiktok and this month she has worked on a project with Minimum World to personalise some barewood bedroom furniture in a modern style for one of her dolls houses. Carrie has provided step by step instructions of her adaptation of the double bed which is available to purchase on the Minimum World website as product code BA040.

A summer feast • This article was published in June 1997 and although the web is now loaded with miniature food tutorials, this is a useful project if you are just starting out in polymer clay miniatures.

She also lifts the lid on her design process and just why her new quarter scale castle took so long to finish.
