Thanks for viewing my site. I've been interested in miniatures for nearly 12 years now, and have noticed the 'lack of' selection of Modern houses and accessories . This inspired me to create my own Modernist line in 1:12 scale. The M112 Pod house is my very first 1:12 scale house. There will be a couple more to come, so keep checking back!

I've also been having some fun creating modern furniture for my house, as there is not much out there to choose from. Many of the designs are my own, but you will see some designs from Minotti, Poliform, Hudson furniture, etc. just to name a few. You'll also see some of my 1/18 scale Diecast collectible displays.

I'm currently operating my business from St. Paul, Minnesota, but will soon be relocating to the Las Vegas area.

Custom KH kitchen 1.jpg

A custom kitchen built for a client for her Kaleidescope House. It features 'concrete' countertops, all white cabinets, a custom stainless steel Samsung fridge, stainless dishwasher, stainless sink and faucet, and a smoked cooktop featuring 5 burners(there is a lens underneath the plexi top showing the burner rings). The main feature is the chromatherapy lighting of the back wall, which is an acrylic panel. The panel is lit from the bottom.

Custom entertainment wall

This unit was based on one of my full size designs. The client asked to change it a bit, so it's not exactly like the full sized one, and does not have any lighting.

custom chaise

created from the same frame as my other chaises, this one has a bit more padding. All my upholstery pieces are created with real foam, as if made for 'little people'. I try and create as much detail as I can within an affordable budget.

shorter M.U.T.T table with wenge stools

This is a shorter 6" version of the other table. I used the wenge stools with it, and it works pretty good. I'm thinking of making some benches in solids to go with these tables.

M.U.T.T table/desk

M.U.T.T stands for 'made using tossed trimmings. An idea for a full scale line using all scrap trimmings from the shop(s) floor. I'm also going to use it as flooring in my M112 Pods, once they are finished.

Buckeye Burl foot stools

These were made from the leftovers from the two coffee tables I made. I wanted to try some stools, as I hadn't made any yet. These are the only two in this wood that I have, but I can make them with pretty much any wood.

Room view featuring coffee table with lilac

This is one of my original designs. At least I haven't seen it out there yet.........The size is about 3 1/4" x 4". The lilac is removeable, in case you want to put a different flower in. The flowers are from Barb Plevan, and the detail is phenomenal!

cypress cube ottomans

Made from solid Australian Cypress. The bottom has a slight reveal, to give them a floating effect. The grain in this wood is very beautiful, and helps to lighten up the colors in any miniature room.

Walnut platform bed

No, this isn't the same bed as the other one, although it's the same design. I got such a good response on this bed, I just had to make a couple more. I think that's it for this one, so look for some new designs soon........

This is the first of many M112 Pods. The color is Paprika, and is the base coat for the rust treatment. The dimensions are 8" wide, 8 1/2" tall, 20" long. Containers also come in 40' lengths, so I may do one at 40" at some point, or upon request.

I really love how this turned out, and am excited to make the others in various colors, and arrange/stack them. I'll also be working on the kitchen/bath/bedroom inserts to go with them. Each unit will be signed and numbered, not necessarily for a limited quantity, but mostly to keep track of the number produced.

PRD news

My wife and I will be relocating to the Las Vegas Nevada area in the coming months. I will have to put any custom builds on hold until we resettle, so I will only be taking/fulfilling orders through the month of July 2009, and then resume sometime in September of 2009.

I have just completed the first of the M112 Pods, and will be making a limited number before packing everything up for the move. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks. Paris Renfroe

M112 Pod news.......

Thanks to all you faithful viewers, who check in on a regular basis to see what's new. I'm sorry it's been taking me so long to come up with the next 'house', as I have been fairly busy with smaller orders, and my full time 'gig'.

After gathering feedback, I am working on a simple, yet modern open floor plan house. I want to make something affordable, that even the entry level collector can purchase to start his/her collection. You will have the option to hang it on a wall, or set it on top of an easy to find/buy IKEA cabinet. Not sure what I'm going to call it yet, but I can tell you it will retail for around $450, not including shipping.

I'm also working on the Premise of the M112 Pods name. They will be stackable units, designed to look like shipping containers. Each one will be 8 1/2" high, 8" wide, by 20" long. These dimensions are exact 1:12 ratio of a standard shipping container. There will be two sliding doors along with a short wall on one side, a complete window wall on one end, and a 4" opening with sliding door on the other side. The opposite end of the solid window wall will be a solid wall. There will also be a porthole in the bottom, as well as the top, along with metal tubing rungs leading up to the next level. The units will come in orange, red, blue, green, gray, and white. I'm also thinking of doing one with 'rusted' panels. Each unit will be blank inside, but I will be designing accessories to be purchased 'a la carte'.

I'm still in the design stages on the Pods, but plan to do a production run of at least 100 to start. They will be built from 3/8" baltic birch. Strip magnets on the top and bottom will allow them to stack with a fair amount of rigidness. I think these will be a hit among the design community, as well as architects and art collectors. Think of them as an adult architecture toy. The M112 logo will be added to each unit, running perpendicular from bottom to top up one side.

New furniture pieces

Keep your eyes on this site over the next couple of days. I have been working on some really sweet furniture pieces, that I am totally excited about. The more I do, the better they get. In fact, I have been able to do many more new designs this way, rather than building full sized prototypes. I plan to make some full size pieces from a couple of these new designs, especially the beds.

I will be listing most of them on Ebay sometime over the next few days, so if you want to check them out, do a search on Ebay for 'PRD'.

New furniture pics

Ok so it's been some time since I updated this site, it's been a busy few weeks........Anyhow, I finally uploaded some new pics of recent furniture pieces, Including some commission pieces. Some are on Ebay right now, so go take a look! Let me know if there's something specific you'd like to see, or color variations. I'm working on some more pieces, and hope to get those on here in the coming weeks.

Till then. P

Ebay Listing of the M112 Pod House

For those of you interested, I will be posting the M112 Pod House on Ebay this weekend. I will list it for 7 days, starting at $1500 fully furnished. Shipping I'm not sure of yet, but will negotiate at some point. It all depends upon where the buyer lives. I will personally deliver the house within 200 Miles of the Twin Cities, otherwise ship it UPS ground.

Ideas for new 112 House

I'm currently working on a new 1:12 house. Just for fun, I'd like to ask my visitors what they would like to see in this house. There are so many options to choose from, it's easy to get carried away. So give me some ideas!

Listing the M112 Pod House

The M112 Pod House is currently on display at AZ Gallery in St. Paul, Minnesota(see www.theazgallery.org for directions) . If you happen to be/live in the Twin Cities area, please stop by during the Gallery hours Fridays 5-8pm, Sat. and Sun. 10-2pm. If you'd like to stop by outside of Gallery hours, please call Paris at 651-233-0063 to set up an appointment. I would like to get some press on the house, before I go ahead and list it. I am currently considering silent offers though, so you can send me your info, along with offer, to paris@parisrenfroedesign.com

Thanks for looking. Paris

Here's a few pics........

So I got a few pics last night, just before the camera battery died. It was late anyhow, and I didn't have the whole house set up. The pics I posted aren't great to say the least, but I promise to get some better ones tonight either before or after our opening. So I hope to have some good shots posted here tomorrow afternoon. I feel like it's as if I have been building a full size house!! The final details always take longer........Part of it is because I wanted to start with something simple, very minimalist, and allow the end user to do the interior detailing. It almost seems like a miniature flip! One cool feature is that the upstairs bathroom comes out, along with the carpet, which is upholstered to a separate panel. I want to take detailed shots of this too, so anyone interested in buying can see all of the options. The entertainment wall unit, and the kitchen aren't locked in either, so you can switch the kitchen and living room if you like.

Daily Entry

Wow, December already? Time flies, that's for sure. The Holiday weekend was busier than I expected, so I didn't quite finish up the house. I will have some photos to post by Tonight(Monday)so you can see where I'm at. The main things left are the kitchen and the entertainment wall in the living room. No matter what, some lucky person will own this beautiful piece of Modernism before the end of the year, at least I hope. I definitely want it to go to a good home, as I have become somewhat attached to it(don't worry, there's no room for it here, so it has to go).

Check back later tonight for the new pics. Paris

Stairs are done!

I finished the stairs today. I have somewhat of a dilemma though. They look so good, that I hate to cover them up. I was planning to put a bathroom in the middle, which would essentially cover the stairs, as they are also in the middle, towards the back. I actually added on a small stairwell in the back, which extends away from the back of the house by 4" deep, and 11 " wide. It climbs the full two stories and has one big window. I will build the bathroom, and set it in there to see what it looks like. It won't be permanent though, in case whoever buys it likes the open floor plan. That goes for the kitchen too, which will be a POLIFORM style, on one end.

You'll love the stairs though, as they are made with a solid IPE beam, with aluminum stair treads. I'll have pictures up by Monday. They don't go straight up though. There is a single flight going up to a landing, then a 90 degree turn to the right and up one more flight to the bedroom. It's going to be an impressive house when it's done, if I do say so myself.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Paris

Thanksgiving push......

I have two full scale projects to get done over the next two weeks, all the while I'm working on my miniature pieces. I used to build architectural models for clients, and realized how much I missed building in miniature scale. There are so many cool designs to build, but not enough time. It may be easier for interested parties to email me with requests, and sizes, and let me know their budgets. This makes it easier on me, to where I can still have fun creating pieces for collectors, and still build my full scale designs.

I'm planning on having my M112 Pod house done before Thanksgiving weekend. That's one week from tomorrow. Once it is finished, I will post detailed photos of the house on this site, with sizes and dimensions. I haven't determined a price yet, as there is nothing to compare it to, and I have quite a few hours invested in it. I'd like to hear your comments though, and let me know what you think it's worth. I can tell you this, it won't be up in the 3-4K range. I'm thinking somewhere between $1500-2500, completely furnished. But, like I said, nothing is engraved in stone yet.

Time to get some sleep!
