Miniature Bedroom Nightstand
A miniature bedroom nightstand can be a small miniature table or little miniature cabinet. The ideal place to put your miniature bedroom lamp and a couple miniature printable books. This particular miniature furniture design could also work as miniature end tables in many different doll house rooms.

This mini doll house nightstand design is a small open cabinet, with a couple of drawers represented. This miniature furniture nightstand measures a scale 20" (50.8 cm) wide by 25" (63.5) tall and is 17" (43.2 cm) deep. This mini doll house dresser will fit nicely into a child's miniature bedroom. As with the miniature chest of drawers and the miniature dresser, if I were to use this miniature bedroom nightstand in a child's doll house bedroom, I would paint it and add decorative stick-on miniature printables. When I assemble the front of this miniature bedroom nightstand I work from the bottom up. The reason for this is that I can get each of the pieces butted together tightly. Then when I add the middle shelf I can align it very neatly to the top of the upper drawer. I do not design my miniature furniture with operating drawers because I'll always have it displayed with the drawers closed.
Note: I will be offering a method to do this with operating miniature drawers at later time and will post a notice in my blog when they're online. Click on the safe and secure and you will receive a notice when this update has been added to my site. |
You'll notice too that I have the drawings in a two tone finish - I do this so the instruction drawings are a bit more clear.
