    You're inspiring me to get a doll house for my mother's 1940's doll furniture. Ugh. I don't need another hobby, but I've always loved doll houses and tiny things.

    This is great. When I was little my dolls lived in cardboard box houses furnished with things I found outside. It took a lot of pretending, but it was fun. Now that I write it down it sounds like my dolls were homeless people. :) Thank you for sharing.

    Dried thyme would look good for your herbs, little fine leaves and stems. And camomile flowers would look like mini sunflowers. So fun!

    I just realized that a doll house would be perfect for my great niece who has autism and loves collecting lil’ things and arranging stuff. It would be a great age appropriate activity as she outgrows the children’s collectibles and a great thing for her and mom to do together! Love you guys and how much you have to share 💕

    • @maroulio2067

    Kate, so glad that you were able to get your dream house. You will be arranging and re-arranging that kitchen and all the rooms repeatedly. That's the fun of having your own house. Fern and Kate, love your repartee and laughs. Enjoyed every minute.

    Such a cute kitchen! You could use alcohol ink(found in craft stores) to age/ darken the bright jelly molds. I like that things are mixed ages. As we all know, when you have your own first house, it's always a mix of those treasures you take with you from your childhood home and new items bought as you can afford them. When a house is filled with love, it doesn't matter if it matches!!!

    As a kid at home, we had a real radio like that, but the top of front folded down and had a turn table for playing records. All 3 speeds worked and the radio dial worked and the sound was awesome. What memories I had when you pulled that out.

  • @katesheppard7849
    @katesheppard7849 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Its sooo pretty ...A tiny utensil rack would look adorable next to the cooker, and maybe a pot geranium or some herbs... a lovely 30s/40s 'glass' lampshade would look great too x

    Don't worry about stealing bread there's more coming. The pan with the handle is a preserves pan. I am enjoying this lovely little house and the videos. Your both just like me with your minitures and my favorite room is always a kitchen with all the tiny bits and pieces, such fun. Love the holly wallpaper and the brick floor. I had that cat and kittens when I was small but somehow I lost the kittens they were so tiny. How exciting this is going to be. ❤❤❤

    I'm so thrilled you included us in this furnishing!!!! I built my first dolls house in my 20's, for my young, newly married self! I remember the thrill of choosing special pieces. I also started making miniature food for it with Fimo clay. It was so new, there were no instruction books about it, but it was fun to be self-taught, too. Have fun with your new home!!!

When you pulled that old radio out from the doll's house it reminded me of the many real ones my late grandfather had and loved. Some worked, some didn't. He was an antique dealer. Fond memories. Loved hearing about all the individual pieces history. So glad you have a kitty cat in the basket. Looks like Sunny. God bless.

    That kitchen looks fantastic! Looks so fun to fix up and set up. Your future house idea sounds lovely Kate and from what I have seen, the Caboodler house looks lovely and vintage too. Might be worthwhile to support the roof with thin plywood glued on the inside faces? I look forward to seeing the lights work!

  • @shepherd4406
    @shepherd4406 ปีที่แล้ว

    The kitchen is very inviting. The house looks like a fairytale house. I could believe that Goldilocks May visit it one day. If you have nor seen the channel, I think you would enjoy Dolls house dilemma’s. She is working on, among others, a 1920s house. There is a surprise in the middle of the. Idea you would enjoy. Thanks ladies for the fun.

    Is that a frog in the basket between the carrots and egg basket under the table? Is that a British thing? P.S. You are inspiring me to put together a dollhouse kit I've had for years and never got round to working on...If that ever comes to fruition, I'll take pictures. I definitely want to paint flowers on the outside walls of it now.

  • @bobcampbell2486
    @bobcampbell2486 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just loved the way you did your kitchen over and over again until you were satisfied . I had done the same with my dolls house and then gave the whole 33 years of collecting to my eldest daughter. I'm still in morning about it being in another state that is hard for me to visit. All memories are not forgotten just not here to share like I used to. A docent for my dolls house was a glories time for me. Now it's my paintings and you. I will say again I loved the way you did your house and I'm watching it again while typing this comment. Thank you for sharing. Susann75

    May I suggest you look up Dolls' Houses Past and Present? It is a free, online group of very friendly people and there are lots of photos, discussions and info there that you might enjoy. We even have a quarterly e-zine with articles written by members and your houses would be of interest to members.
    I have twice started dolls house blogs but can't keep up as I'm carer for a grandchild and my 100 year old Mum. Lack of time and terrible photography skills hold me back.
    My house like this one of yours and Grandma Jean and Grandpa Roland, the residents, are my favourites! I'm not in my second childhood, it is more that the first one that has lasted for nearly 70 years 😂😂😂.

    A while back we found a Triang dolls house from the 60's in the garage of my partner's parents' house. (They have both passed away now) Sadly the rain had got to it and the roof was heavily spoiled and the plastic covering for the roof was split. The electrics were heavily rusted, too. The front of the house was metal and that was heavily rusted. These houses need a lot of care to restore them and repair damaged parts, especially if they've been stored incorrectly as well as damage due to age. I gave up on it.
