Jeffrey Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 So after seeing Monica's flea market haul I was inspired to make a christmas gift for my Oma. (Grandma got the ice cream shop this one is for my other Grandma) Every year my sister and I make butter cookies, gingerbread houses and chocolate chip cookies with Oma and the oven and fridge ornaments inspired a kitchen roombox. So I ordered them and I am putting them in the Basic Room Box Kit by Houseworks along with the Faux Marble & Beadboard Center Island and this sink with the Gingerbread House on Doily and the 12 Chocolate Chip Cookies on Tin Baking Sheet Im going to use the Tan & Black Diamond Tile Sheet and a black and white diamond patterned scrapbooking paper as wallpaper with wainscot made from skinny sticks. I already wallpapered but I always mess up the corners. Do you think this corner post technique by Diana M. will look OK in a kitchen with a 50's flair? And will everything I have listed above work well together? I dont want to buy stuff that wont look good together. My main concerns are the appliances, sink, floor and island colors working well together. Let me know! Thanks, ~Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Wow what a great idea. I love the Stove. These were ornaments? Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 yes they open, light up and the stove is scented like cookies. they are a little too big to go on a tree though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I think it should look good my only opinion id that, you should have another counter next to the sink.. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_the_haunted Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Jeffrey, I think it's a great idea. But what about black and white checkerd flooring? Well, wait til the items come and see what you think but, I think it sounds awsome! Val, I think they just call them "ornaments" but they are far too heavy to hang on a tree and they are 1:12 scale. They have no srting to hang on a tree. I think they were actually meant to be miniatures because they hook up to a mini light system. Go figure...

Caseymini Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Jeffery, where did you get the ornaments? They are wonderful! I want some too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 They have no srting to hang on a tree. I think they were actually meant to be miniatures because they hook up to a mini light system. I think yours may have been customized because from the look of other ones they have a little loop to put a hook on and the stove has a light strand plug in the back. yours also has different potholders and towels. the fridge takes batteries Jeffery, where did you get the ornaments? They are wonderful! I want some too!!! 2007 Holiday Fridge 2004 Christmas Cookies or here http://www.ornament-shop.com/product.php?itemid=1040310 http://www.ornament-shop.com/product.php?itemid=1070615 You can get them there, ebay, or on other sites but they are very expensive. Bargain hunting is recommended. I got my stove for $80 because it was in a damaged box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liggysasha Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 That is so cute, I'm sure your Oma will love it. The stove smells of cookies? How cool is that! I kinda thought the same about the floor being black/gray and white, rather than brown and white. But as Monica said, you should wait and see what they are like when they arrive.

Just One More Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I think the fridge was a Hallmark ornament last year or the year before. It lights up when the door opens. I've never seen the stove but I'd like to have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I LOVE that stove and refrigerator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Well the wallpaper is black and white, and the sink is white and the island is white with a faux marble top which is similar in color to the cream/tan color of the appliances and the floor (which contains black). so the colors are black white and a cream/tan. think that will fly or will they all screech at me?

justmesue Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Can't wait to see a finished pic of all this together! It will look awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I missed the stove, but I got the fridge last year - I was so hoping they would make the sink this year. I don't know what happened - every year there are at least ten, usually a lot more ornaments I want to buy, but this year I couldn't find a single one I liked.

chesterfieldzoo Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I missed the stove and it costs a fortune on the black market (ebay). I did find out my daughter has one though, so I may go shopping at her house (heehee). I got 2 of the fridges. There is also a ladder from a few years ago that is really cute.

Elicia Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 They are both Hallmark ornaments from 2006 I believe....I have one of the fridges in one of my miniatures.....it's not actually 1:12 scale but can be used depending on what you surround it with.....

mom of boys Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I love seeing your project they are so cute. I love the fridge and stove. The kitchen will look wonderful. Your Grandmother is lucky that you are making such wonderful present that highlights the wonderful time you and your sister had making cookies with her.

Jeffrey Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 i have decided to go with this sink instead of the one i have listed above. i think it looks better with the stove and fridge. http://www.dollhouseminiatures.net/product...roducts_id=2408 i also have finished one wall and will post pics once the glue dries and i can take off the weights.

Jeffrey Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 I decided to do a small window so i had to add in half the punch out from the window hole. I also decided to do the high wainscot paneling so I wont have to worry about the patch. I sprayed the skinny sticks white and will touch them up once they are all glued in. let me know what you think and how it looks so far. sorry for the poor quality but i only had my cell camera at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
