Anyone who has ever hankered after a country retreat can now have one... if only in 1/12 scale. In this superbly presented book, Christine-Léa Frisoni explains how to make an exquisite miniature French country house. Decorated in an elegant style of faded grandeur, the dolls’ house is full of period features and exhibits oodles of vintage appeal.
The book begins by showing you how to make a dolls’ house from scratch. Christine-Léa then explains how to build up the wall panels to provide deep recesses, fancy panelling and wall niches that will add character – ideas that can be translated to any existing dolls’ house. But the secret to this realistic and authentic-looking period dolls’ house is in the fixtures and fittings, from the Louis XV-style furniture and fittings to the flowers. There are chairs, a folding screen, ornate light sconces, fireplaces, dressing tables, window dressing, you name it. All are included in astonishing detail, right down to the kitchen sink!
So, if you want to learn how to build a very special, professional-looking dolls’ house, look no further than this beautiful book.
Miniaturist Christine-Léa Frisoni has based this book on her own extensive experience of interior décor, adapted to the miniature world.

Christine-Léa aims to reproduce objects in a realistic way to conserve the memory, lifestyle and décor of bygone eras. A number of her creations can be found in private collections worldwide. Christine-Léa resides in France.
