There’s just something undeniable about this season—maybe it’s the soft, warm lighting. It could be the smells of cedar and cinnamon. Or the persistent optimism of holiday music…

THE FIRST dollhouse Jessica (Craik) Coffee made wasn’t exactly worthy of the pages of American Miniaturist magazine. But, then again, Jessica was 7 years old at the time, and her construction materials were limited to a large cardboard box and pages from the Sears catalog.

Inspired by our three kids, we made this bedroom with a cabin bed, wooden train tracks and plenty of book storage. Is there actual room anywhere this cute? Not yet. It’s currently more of a blank canvas.

What is it about the holidays anyway? I guess the winter months are just darker in the northern hemisphere. Days get shorter, the fog rolls in, the end of your nose is always cold.

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.

We’re so excited to show off this little cutie that we designed and are producing in our home. More than a room box, yet small enough to find a place in any room, the Mini Modern Farmhouse is available in three options.

If we had to imagine our ideal project, it would likely go exactly like this one. The key ingredient is partnering with great people, and we got to work with the pros over at The Washington Post.
