Miniaturist Kris Compass is making me another sofa!

Artisan Kris Compass has some lovely pieces of reasonably-priced upholstered 1:12 scale furniture for sale on her CDHM site:  see them here.



They include a beautiful Knole settee upholstered in red and gold, and I mention it because she's going to be making me one to go in the William and Mary House! I ordered it almost a year ago, and it's coming up to the time when it's going to be built for me!

Kris has a great blog where she generously shares many, many building tips and tutorials: 1 inch minis by Kris.  If you don't know it, it's pure gold!

Thanks for taking on my commission, Kris, and I can't wait to see how it turns out!

  2. I love Kris' work and this Knole sofa is no exception. I have her on my list to request commission work for the future, but had no idea the waiting list was that long...maybe I should ask soon!

    Lucky you and I am sure you can't wait to receive your sofa! :o)))

    1. I was surprised by the waiting list, too, but it's well-deserved. She only takes on a few things each month, and because her work is really first rate (seriously, it's perfect) and she has such reasonable prices, she's always in demand. I can't wait to see it, either!

  3. It's a lovely piece and will look just the thing in your W & M. How's it coming along?

    1. It's been stalled for months, Irene, but I'm getting back to work on it. I really want to get the roof slated and assembled so that I can finish the darned thing!
