House Gnomes: Door Tour

Miniatures

Over the past year I've been sharing room makeovers of our new house and in doing so you may have noticed that many rooms contain hidden little doors.  You can call them mouse holes if you want, but I say that we have "House Gnomes" 😄  

Today I've collected pictures of each home so you can see them all at once, this one is found in the front hall.

Made with my Cricut, these are just removable vinyl stickers that I applied to the trim.

Tucked in the corner of the front room is this little doorway.  
You can see the rest of the front room here.

Next to the faux cookie cabinet in the dining room is this tiny home.  I didn't want to have just doors, that would be too plain, so I added in tiny windows and plants to give more interest.

You can see the rest of the dining room here, and the cookie cabinet here.
I was able to clean and shine up the wood floors using this.

In the breakfast room I have a home in the corner by the breakfast cabinet.  I found all of my different doorway, plant and window images by searching in clipart (specify black and white to narrow down your results) and then uploading my chosen images to Cricut's design space.

You can see the rest of the room here and the faux food in the cabinet here.

Under the cabinetry in the kitchen is this home.  
You can view the kitchen makeover  here.

My favorite gnome house is this one in the laundry room, complete with clothes line!  You used to be able to see the entire line, but I switched out my pantry storage drawers to a larger set.  I'm thinking I might add another sticker in this room.

And finally, here is the home in the family room.
You can see this room's makeover  here.

I want to create a way to peek inside of the homes using miniature furniture and accessories, sort of like opening the wall but without damaging the house 😁  I was inspired by  The Mouse Mansion, a museum in Amsterdam that features miniature mouse displays.  I came across their Facebook page and loved seeing the pictures of the faux mice going about their daily business.

For now though, you can check out these miniature gnome and fairy gardens that I did last year.

I hope you enjoyed the tour of my house gnome doors, thanks for stopping by!
