THere's a book of these out with lots of good closeups-- The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death
The only problem is that they don't explain the crimes.

And i guess you need some artistic talent and a lot of practice.
Dissassembly by Steve Yockey. Read it twice before making any judgment.
Dollhouse by Rebecca Gilman. You need at least a cursory knowledge of A Doll's House to appreciate this, but it's solid either way.
Pool (No Water) by Mark Ravenhill. Experimentally written; really cool performance opportunities.
Homesteaders by Nina Shengold.
The Diviners by Jim Leonards, Jr.
Radium Girls by D. W. Gregory.
There's a fantastic book about this woman and her models with photographs and schematics showing off all the little details! I wish I could see them in person. They're an incredible piece of crime investigation history.
If you're set on making pieces yourself, there are lots of books available via Amazon that have instructions for miniature furniture.
I personally own and recommend: Dollhouse Style, The Complete Book of Making Miniatures, Edwardian Era: MIniatures in 1:12 Scale, and Thirties and Forties Miniatures in 1:12 Scale.
And they aren't what you've asked about but, you eventually might find a desire for Making Upholstered Furniture in 1/12 Scale and Making 1/12 Scale Wicker Furniture.
I did find Doll's House Furniture: Easy to Make Projects in 1:12 Scale, but I've never looked through it before. Also there's Creating Doll's House Kitchens in 1/12 Scale which was just published last year and might be exactly what you're looking for. The same author has also published Step by Step Doll's House Furniture Projects in 1/12 Scale which also looks good.
As a backup plan, Hobby Builder's Supply has some kitchen cabinet kits for sale. Please note that the link will take you to a page where they're offering a large grouping of those kits as one whole mega kit. They are available individually. They're individual, modular cabinets that you can mix and match. And since they're kits, you can make templates of the pieces to make more of the same thing before you assemble them.
I hope this helps!
Too lazy to make link pretty:

A) You're a dick
B) I got her a copy of The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death because she likes murder.
