Queen Victoria’s Home

14th August 2022

This two story Victorian room box-was made by Tony Alan Jones. I designed it and his talent put it all together. The furnishings are a combination of vintage and new miniatures. Natasha floor screen, Rene Isabelle fireplace screen, Rene’s round table and chairs-all hand-painted.

The harpsichord is by June Clinksales. Gramophone by Aida Prava. Dogs are Michal Gvir. I wanted to be historically accurate and all breeds shown here were owned by Queen Victoria. Paintings by Masaya Okada. Queen Victoria, Albert and the maid who looks like Betty White the late great actress are by Sharon Cariola. The Duchess who bears an uncanny resemblance to actress Maggie Smith by Sylvain Forget. The child upstairs is by Irina Martin. Chairs and table upstairs are by John Hodgson.

Dollhouse Miniature Room Box of Julia Child’s French Country Kitchen

27th November 2020

Tony Alan Jone’s made the room box and my friend Sharon Cariola created the 1:12 scale Julia Child. Dear Sylvain Forget created the children. I was inspired by the movie Julie and Julia, and my memories of Julia Child on television, so I created this room in homage to Julia Child the French Chef.

The stained glass door, window, and celling fixture are by Barbara Sabia. Paintings are by Michael Reynolds and Christopher Sparrow. Jason Getzan, Nicola Mascall, Valeria, Sandra Rubin, Crown Jewel Miniatures, the English Kitchen, and Kiva Atkinson, all contributed to the room. Helen Archoleka made the table and chairs and the flower trimmed hutch. If you try you can smell the goose cooking!

Our Home

4th September 2020

One of the characters in Dream Lover is an interior designer. I chose that profession for Alexandra Farrell’s character because I was a designer for awhile and even though my writing is my first priority my love of decorating is always with me. My favorite style decor is French country and even when I do my miniature 1:12 rooms many of them utilize this style of decor.
