House Hunter Mini Modern Farmhouse
T
he simple yet versatile design of the new Mini Modern Farmhouse has huge appeal! While this 1:12 scale home has just two rooms, it still manages to ooze character from its wood beam detailing down to the sweet awning above the double door.
making it a very manageable size to work with. Meanwhile, the room dimensions are generous enough to properly display your miniatures. This is the ideal kit for someone just starting out with the hobby, as well as those with more experience but perhaps less space to store a new project!
It’s an original design from the creative minds of Jess and Robb, the duo behind American small business Jessica Cloe Miniatures; a name now synonymous in the miniature world with contemporary doll’s house interiors. The farmhouse is described as having “minimum footprint, maximum style”. Part of the enormous appeal of this little house is that, unlike many 1:12 scale options, it has a compact floorplan
The Mini Modern Farmhouse is available to purchase in three formats: kit, assembled or furnished. And great news for those of us residing across the pond, international shipping is available!
Order online at: www.jessicacloe.com Prices start from $250 (approx. £183) Shrunk.
