As a quarantine hobby, a Leewood, Kansas–based couple decided to design and build a miniature custom home. Now, ABC News’ Lesley Hauler reports their creation has gone viral. The final product is “a perfectly scaled and expertly crafted three-story, mid-century modern home that will make you wish you could live in it,” according to Hauler. The home features 10 rooms of miniature and handmade craftsmanship, including electrical wiring throughout.
The home started from a kit she bought online, but the couple customized every inch of it themselves.
“It kind of reminded me of the home I grew up in that my parents built in Omaha, Nebraska,” Kampfe said.
The retired interior designer and her husband were halfway through the process before the pandemic hit. Soon their project became a full-time quarantine hobby.
“It was just nice spending a lot of quality time with each other and building something from nothing,” Cliff said, while Annie chimed in, “Like that sense of fruition that we both have and that we did it together.”
The couple finished the home and added an entire basement level, complete with a functional garage door.
