After moving the too-small Chrysnbon chairs to the bedroom, I needed another pair of chairs for the kitchen.  Many people have raved about Art of Mini, so I had a look at their wonderful online offerings.  So many beautiful furniture kits!  I wish I could order them all!

The Lilje chairs kit is similar to the laser cut kits I've worked with, but they are made using what is described as a "water cut technique."

They don't have the dark ashen residue of laser cut kits but have the same clean and precise cuts.

The instructions were in Dutch, but I was able to scan the document, use OCR on the file and paste the text into google translate for a reasonable translation.  ;]  It also helped that I had made similar items before.

With just a light sanding, the parts were clean and easily fit together.  This is a very high quality kit.

These seem a much better match with the House of Miniatures dining table than the Chrysnbon chairs.  The seats will be upholstered and the entire set painted.

They have a wonderful cottage feel, perfect for my vintage kitchen.
