The Pink Palace Apartments: A Coraline-Inspired Victorian Miniature
Welcome to the Pink Palace Apartments, that politely crumbling Victorian on the hill where Coraline Jones moves in with her parents—and promptly discovers the building has bigger secrets than its paint budget. Built in the late 1800s and later sliced into quirky flats, the house hosts a trio of unforgettable neighbors: Mr. Bobinsky high in the attic with his well-trained jumping mice, and the retired stage divas Miss Spink and Miss Forcible holding court downstairs amid Scott

Verdant Aftermath: A Miniature Greenhouse That Refuses To Die (In The Prettiest Way)
If you’ve ever wondered what hope looks like after the end of the world, it’s this: a stubborn little greenhouse glowing like a lantern, glass fogged, ribs rusted, and vines auditioning for the role of “nature wins.” The hero piece is the structure itself—those cathedral-like panes, the sagging roofline, the moss frosting every seam. It’s equal parts cozy and cautionary, like the earth whispering, “I told you I’d take the keys back.”

Potion Vendor Miniature: A Tim Burton-esque Claymation Night Market with Wicked Potions
Two weeks out from Halloween (aka our Superbowl), this piece hits exactly the right mood: teetering cottages, lanterns that look like they gossip, and—cue drumroll—the hero piece on the left: a towering, skeletal figure with elegant crow-like posture, part ringmaster, part “I definitely didn’t put frog in that elixir.” The colors are Burton-bright where it matters (those bottles!) and desaturated everywhere else, which makes the stand hum like a tiny neon sign in an old black

Pumpkin Pies & Peculiar Rooflines: A Halloween Miniature Tour Through the Teeniest Pie Shop in Town
Welcome to Grimble & Crust’s Pumpkin Pie Parlour, established in 189¾, conveniently located on Stoat Spine Lane just left of the lamppost that insists on flickering at exactly midnight. The founders, Maud Grimble and her silent partner Mr. Crust (silent because he’s made entirely of shortcrust pastry), built a reputation on Pumpkin Moon Pie—a seasonal favorite rumored to turn even the grumpiest scarecrow into a hugger. Locals include Pippin the Pocket Witch who pays in meteor

Haunted Beacon Hill Miniature Makeover: turning a classic dollhouse kit into a cinematic Victorian Spookhouse
The Beacon Hill kit is the rom-com lead of dollhouses: pretty, pink, and ready for polite tea. I looked at that sweet façade and thought, “What if we cast you in a gothic thriller instead?” Same bones, new wardrobe. For this build I kept the kit’s iconic Second Empire silhouette—mansard roof, bay windows, and carriage-porch vibes—but I steered the palette from cupcake pink to desaturated mint that feels like it’s been rained on since 1888. Add some Victorian-meets-Rococo orna
