Creating miniature furniture is one of the most rewarding parts of the dollhouse hobby, and a TV table with two drawers is a perfect project to bring both charm and functionality to your miniature home. Built at a 1:12 scale, this piece fits seamlessly into most dollhouses while offering a realistic touch of everyday life.
What makes this project exciting is its simplicity. Our lessons are designed so that anyone—whether beginner or experienced—can follow along with ease. Step by step, we show you how to cut, shape, and assemble each part, ensuring that the final result looks both accurate and polished. To make the process even smoother, we provide a downloadable PDF file that includes a detailed diagram and all the necessary measurements. This guide saves you time and effort, letting you focus on the joy of building.
For this build, I rely on a set of trusted tools that help achieve professional-looking results in miniature woodworking:
- Sandpaper – to smooth edges and prepare surfaces.
- Transparent brown stain – to bring out the natural beauty of the wood grain.
- Wood oil – to protect and enhance the finish.
- Jeweler’s saw – for delicate and precise cuts.
- Small table saw – to speed up straight cuts.
- 12V mini sander – for quick, clean smoothing.
When it comes to finishing, I recommend using a green stain to give the table a warm, natural color. Following that, a light coat of wood oil enhances the grain and provides a subtle shine, making the piece look as realistic as possible. The two drawers can be made with tiny handles or knobs, adding an extra layer of detail that makes the miniature come alive.
For anyone looking for guidance, our lessons are always available in video format. You’ll find exactly what you’re searching for—clear explanations, close-up demonstrations, and tips that make each step easier. Whether you want to follow along slowly or rewatch specific parts, the lessons are designed to fit your pace.
In the end, the miniature TV table with drawers is more than just a tiny piece of furniture—it’s a project that teaches valuable techniques you can use for countless other creations. With the right tools, clear instructions, and a little patience, you’ll have a piece that adds warmth and detail to your dollhouse.
