Scratch Built Dollhouse Bar Counter and Cabinet



Yesterday, I decided to start on building the bar area for the second floor.  I could not find what I wanted already built, but I had an idea in mind. I was going for an old antique look to match the two bar stools that had once been in my old dollhouse. I have never made any furniture from scratch before, so I let the pieces of wood and a cardboard box guide me. I started with basswood project pieces, two different types of mirrors, and some trim. I looked at some pictures online and I began....



Started with the two pieces that would be the back of the cabinet

  


adding the sides to the bottom

Cutting the counter sides

framing the sides out for a base

Base sides glued together
counter top glued to the base upside down

mirrors and some trim not in permanently until after I  do the finish
