New sizes, colours and a tile calculator!

Over the last couple of days I have updated the JS Miniatures website with a few new colours, sizes and a tile calculator so you can now work out exactly how many tiles you need for your dolls house room.

To try out the calculator click on the button opposite.
New colours include powder blue, green and stone and you can now chose from 1/2" tiles, 3/4" tiles and 1" square tiles.  Tiles

For the perfect finish for your tiles why not buy our white tile grout which is a very high quality grout which gives a very smooth finish, perfect for miniature tiles.

It is very easy to use.  After laying your tiles at 1mm spacings with white PVA adhesive, put a small quantity of the grouting powder into a small container and mix up with a few drops of water, gradually adding drops of water until you get a smooth, thick paste.  Add water with a pipette or similar as you can easily add too much.  A little grout goes quite a long way.
Then, spread the grout over the spaces with a plastic palette knife or coffee stirrer and push down into the gaps.  Do a small area at a time and wipe off immediately with a damp sponge.  Leave to dry for a few hours and then polish up the tiles with a cloth.

Tiles - More new colours

I have added more colours to my expanding range. You can now chose from the classic look of black & white or go for a very Victorian red & black.

I will be adding new sizes in the next few days including 1" & 3/4" and I also now have grout available which will also be added to the site shortly.

New colours are available here

Tile range - New colours

I have added new colours to my range of tiles. Along with the existing faux marble tiles I now have added some ceramic style tiles in clean, modern colours.

Dark blue, white and speckled black are available either as single colours or as mixed packs.  You can either chose from the standard pack sizes of 25, 50 or 100 tiles or I welcome custom orders, just drop me an e-mail.  I'll also work out what you need if you're not sure.

I can also cut them to other sizes - just let me know what you need.

Tiles are available here

They can either be laid flush as in the photo or you can leave a 1mm gap between the tiles and grout to give a very realistic finish as shown below.

Working Modern Fireplace

Check out our working Modern Fireplace. This contemporary design has been brought to life by the addition of tiny LED's to provide a red glow to the logs and fireback.

It works off a standard 12v dolls house supply and is provided with a standard dolls house plug which can be removed for soldering to copper tape.

Available in both kit form and ready made: Working Fireplaces


I am working towards making all my fireplaces working over the coming weeks.

New Product - Miniature Marble Finish Tiles

If you are looking for a marble tile but at a fraction of the cost then check out my new products.

These 1/2" square tiles are currently available in 2 colours - grey and creamy white but I'm looking to expand the range of colours and sizes so if there's a colour or size you would like then leave a comment or drop me an e-mail.

At 2mm thick they look and feel just like a real tile and are perfect for floors or walls.  To achieve the most realistic finish they are best glued on  with PVA glue leaving 1mm gaps between the tiles then grouted.*

They are available in 3 pack sizes on the website - 25 tiles, 50 tiles and 100 tiles but I can make these up in any quantity so if you have a large room or you don't know how many you need, drop me an e-mail and I'll work out the quantity and send you a Paypal invoice.

Discounts are available for buying larger quantities.

EDIT: Also available in green faux marble and in 3/4" and 1" sizes. Drop me an e-mail to order.

Kit Review in Dolls House & Miniature Scene Magazine

For subscribers who had the Dolls House & Miniature Scene magazine drop on their doormat yesterday, you may have spotted that there was a kit review for our Georgian Marble Fireplace on page 75.

We were thrilled to receive such a positive review for our first fireplace.

Here are a couple of snippets from the review by Ann Sutcliffe for those of you that may not get the magazine:

"The instructions are impeccable, with absolutely nothing missed out, pictures, letters, and diagrams to show you all the way."

"The materials used, solid wood and imitation marble, lend a real weight to the finished model, making it a substantial and very appealing piece of miniature architectural furniture.  Because the pieces of this kit are precision cut, the whole build is absolutely trouble-free."

Ann has painted her kit in a Craig & Rose 1929 Adam Cream emulsion and it picks up the colours in the green imitation marble nicely.

The kit is available in 3 other colours - cream, red and brown.

We have now got matching hearths in the same imitation marble and these will be on the website in the next couple of days so if you would like to buy a kit with a hearth drop me an e-mail and I'll sort it out for you.

For those of you who have visited our site over the last few months you may have voted in our poll asking "What dolls house are you currently making?"

It has not been in vain - the information gathered has given us an insight into which periods of dolls houses are the most popular with you and we are now hard at work developing new fireplaces for the most popular periods.

New Product Launched - Modern Fireplace

Just launched is a brand new fireplace for the modern dolls house.

If you want to be the trend setter of the dolls house world then this fireplace is for you!
A contemporary design based on it's full size counterpart, let your dolls house family put their feet up in front of the crackling log fire and enjoy the comforts of their modern home.
