Janet Storey's straightforward text and detailed diagrams show how to create elegant, upholstered dolls' house furniture with simple tools, basic skills and inexpensive materials. Specialist carpentry skills are not needed and, true to tradition, cheaper grades of timber can be used underneath the upholstery. More expensive woods, such as mahogany, are only used in areas where the wood is exposed, such as for the legs. Inspirational photographs, a list of tools and materials, information on fabrics and timber, advice on gluing, cutting cabriole legs, finishing exposed woodwork and making seat cushions make this an invaluable book for any dolls' house enthusiast. Projects include: - Wing chair - Chesterfield sofa - Slipper chair - Victorian bedroom chair - - Club suite - Buttoned side-chair - Victorian armchair - Knowle sofa - * In full colour: featuring over 300 colour photographs and line drawings. * Essential guide for the dolls' house craftsperson and miniaturists.
