Let’s make it feel
like your place

Tell me what you remember: the afternoon light, the colors, or a piece of furniture you loved. Your photos give us a starting point. Your memories help me get it right

I’ll show you the first model, then we’ll adjust the details together until it feels familiar. You can build it yourself or ask me about a finished, assembled room

From your photos to your paper room

A familiar place,
made just for you

Before you send your photos

A few things
you might wonder

Old photos and half-remembered details
are a perfectly good place to start

What kind of photos can I send?

Old snapshots, phone photos, scans, or a few pictures from different angles all help. Include close-ups of the furniture and little things you want me to keep. The photos don’t need to be perfect

Do I need any crafting experience?

No special experience is needed. Your kit includes step-by-step instructions for cutting, folding, and gluing. Start with the larger pieces, take your time, and enjoy seeing the room come together

What tools will I need?

A color printer (or a local print shop), cardstock, scissors, a ruler, and craft glue. A craft knife and cutting mat are helpful for small details, but optional. I’ll include the paper and print settings with your kit

Can you recreate a place that no longer exists?

Yes. Send the photos you have and tell me what you remember. A sketch or a written description helps fill in the missing pieces. I’ll show you my interpretation before you decide to buy

Can I use similar furniture or objects I find online?

Absolutely. Send links or reference pictures of a similar sofa, wallpaper, lamp, or anything else that feels right. They can help me recreate details that aren’t visible in your photos

How long does it take?

I aim to send your first model preview within 2 days of receiving your photos and the details we need. Revisions and physical assembly take additional time. I’ll confirm the schedule with you before starting

When do I pay, and what will I receive?

We review the model together before you decide. Choose a digital kit with printable pieces and assembly instructions, or ask about a finished, assembled room. I’ll confirm the price, what’s included, and any shipping details with you first

How much will my room cost?

The printable kit examples here are $15, $20, and $30 USD. A fully assembled model, including delivery, is quoted separately. I’ll confirm everything before you decide
