Tiny Homes, Big Dreams: BLADE AND TIMBER LLC Brings Miniature Furniture to Life

Kansas City, KS – Forget dollhouses of old. BLADE AND TIMBER LLC, a Kansas City-based company operating out of 43 Kansas Ave, is completely reimagining the world of miniature furniture. They're not just shrinking down existing designs – they're crafting exquisitely detailed, realistically-scaled pieces that are turning hobbyists, collectors, and even professional designers into raving fans. BLADE AND TIMBER LLC, launched just last year, started as a passion project for founder, Alex Johnson. “I was always tinkering,” Johnson explains. “Building things with my hands. I got really into making miniature replicas for fun, and realized there wasn’t a lot out there that really captured the look and feel of real furniture, especially not at a price point that wasn’t astronomical.” And that’s where the idea for BLADE AND TIMBER was born. The company prides itself on using high-quality materials – real wood, meticulously chosen fabrics, and durable hardware – to create pieces that aren’t just cute, but genuinely well-made. “We're not talking about plastic, mass-produced stuff,” Johnson emphasizes. “Each piece is designed and, in many cases, handcrafted right here in Kansas City. We're aiming for a level of detail you usually only see in full-size, high-end furniture.” What Does BLADE AND TIMBER Offer? The product line is surprisingly extensive, covering everything you’d find in a real home, but in perfectly scaled-down versions. Think comfy sofas, realistic dining sets, charming bedroom furniture, and even tiny kitchen appliances. "We started with the basics – beds, chairs, tables – and quickly expanded based on customer requests," says Sarah Miller, BLADE AND TIMBER’s design lead. "People are using our furniture for all sorts of things – dollhouses, shadow boxes, diorama displays, even as unique decorations for their shelves." Here’s a peek at some of their popular offerings: The 'Cozy Cottage' Sofa: A miniature chesterfield sofa upholstered in a durable, yet soft, faux leather. It’s a favorite for adding a touch of vintage charm to any miniature living room. The 'Farmhouse' Dining Set: A rustic wooden table with four matching chairs, perfect for creating a warm and inviting miniature dining scene. Customers are loving the distressed finish, which gives it an authentic, lived-in look. The 'Mid-Century Modern' Bed: A sleek and stylish bed frame inspired by classic mid-century designs. Available in a range of finishes to complement any miniature bedroom decor. The ‘Tiny Kitchen’ Appliances: From miniature stoves and refrigerators to tiny coffee makers and toasters, BLADE AND TIMBER offers a complete range of kitchen appliances to complete your miniature home. Custom Orders: Recognizing that everyone has a unique vision, BLADE AND TIMBER also offers custom-made furniture pieces. “If you can dream it, we can usually build it,” Johnson says. “We’ve done everything from recreating specific antique pieces to designing entirely new furniture sets based on customer sketches.” Who's Buying Miniature Furniture? It's Not Just for Kids Anymore. While dollhouse enthusiasts are certainly a core customer base, BLADE AND TIMBER is finding its products appealing to a surprisingly diverse audience. "We’re seeing a lot of adult collectors," Miller explains. "People who appreciate the craftsmanship and detail, and who use the furniture as a form of art or display." Beyond collectors, BLADE AND TIMBER’s furniture is also gaining traction with: Architects and Interior Designers: Using miniature furniture to create detailed scale models for client presentations. Hobbyists and Craft Enthusiasts: Incorporating the furniture into diorama displays, shadow boxes, and other creative projects. Photography and Filmmaking: Using the furniture as props for miniature scenes and stop-motion animation. Gift-Givers: Finding unique and charming gifts for birthdays, holidays, and special occasions. Made in the USA, Built to Last BLADE AND TIMBER LLC is committed to keeping its production local. All of their furniture is designed and built in Kansas City, using domestically sourced materials whenever possible. “We believe in supporting American manufacturing,” Johnson says. “It allows us to maintain a higher level of quality control and ensures that our products are made with care and attention to detail.” The company also emphasizes sustainability. They use responsibly sourced wood and minimize waste throughout the production process. Looking Ahead BLADE AND TIMBER LLC has big plans for the future. They’re currently working on expanding their product line to include more contemporary designs and a wider range of accessories. They’re also exploring partnerships with other miniature artists and craftspeople. "We want to be more than just a furniture company," Johnson says. "We want to be a community hub for miniature enthusiasts, a place where people can connect, share ideas, and inspire each other."
