In this dollhouse kitchen renovation build, I tackled my first DIY dollhouse range oven — and it might be my favorite make so far.

This one might be my favorite build so far.

What I built

A DIY dollhouse range oven build — fully custom, black with bronze hardware, complete with a working door, a pull-out drawer, and a baker’s rack inside. Everything was built from a cut file I purchased on Etsy and cut on my xTool P2S laser.

The Build Process

It starts with a pile of tiny laser cut wood pieces that look like absolutely nothing. ( I cut them from a digital cut file I bought on Etsy). And then slowly, over a lot of gluing and painting and very small moments of panic, it becomes something.

A few highlights from this build:

The oven door glass is cut from acrylic — traced, scored with an exacto knife, and glued in with thin clear adhesive. It fits perfectly and I was unreasonably proud of that.

The door stays closed with tiny magnets — and I mean tiny. Like hold one up to your screen tiny. Getting those seated and glued without losing them was a whole thing.

The hardware — the knobs and handles — are made from laser cut wood circles painted with Rub ‘n Buff in a bronze finish, layered with jewelry findings to build up the detail. This part took patience I didn’t know I had. But the result looks completely custom and I love it.

The Finished Piece

This DIY dollhouse range oven build: Black matte finish. Bronze hardware. Working door with acrylic glass. Pull-out drawer. Baker’s rack. She’s not installed in the kitchen yet — we’re still working on cabinets and hardware — but she’s ready and she’s stunning if I do say so myself.

What’s Next

The kitchen cabinets are done — you might have seen the sneak peek I posted — and next up is the hardware, the crown moulding, and finally getting everything installed. And yes, I’m planning some miniature food items for inside the cabinets. Cereal boxes. Maybe a tiny mug. We’ll see.
