This is made from the top of a davenport without the back and side trim but with the addition of some fancy hinges

This is made from a meat safe with the front mesh and wooden side panels replaced by some thin acrylic sheet and the top trim left off

This washstand, bigger than the provincial washstand but smaller than the Edwardian, Victorian or Colonial washstands, is made by partially assembling a Lady's Desk and leaving off the shelf and drawer assemblies. Four ceramic tiles (available from companies such as Hatton-Woods and Ann Shepley) are then stuch on the back to become the splash back. Ideally a shelf should also be added about 1/2" up the legs.

This is an easy modification. The original top and splash back tiles are both replaced by a suitably sized piece of Marble or Decorstone which can be obtained from Ann Marie Miniatures

This is a little more complicated but still fairly straightforward. Starting with a Side-by-side kit, three different pieces of furniture can be made with only the addition of 8 wooden beads and a flat piece of wood for a table top.

The base of the unit needs to be cut in half with a craft knife - several light cuts rather than one heavy cut - so as not to waste any wood from a saw cut. The tops of the drawer and wardrobe are swapped over and an extra moulding carved along one edge of what was originally the drawer unit top.

4 wooden beads are stuck on the bottom of the new drawer unit and wardrobe to make bun feet.

The original legs and trim are stuck on the bottom of a new piece of wood to make a low coffee table.
