Hi Julie your right yes its called a stringer it actually does look good and complete with one as I did it too cheers Keep up the good work julie your so very knowledgeable and very creative James uk west sussex rustington
On my second house now and it has hallways rather like yours. I remembered this episode and followed your instructions for the stair skirting. So happy with the result. Thank you so much!
@@JulieWarren I'm just wondering if, when there are multiple hallways, they should all be decorated with the same paper/paint colours. I know its personal choice but interested in what you think looks best
I always had a fascination for miniatures and yourself and Ara Bentley have really got me back into the dollhouse scale. I was always into 1:6th but find I want everything in 1:12th these days! Your house is gorgeous!
This was a great tutorial Julie. I loved all your ‘thinking out loud’, it’s all part of the fun! I’m glad you put in the stringer (it was me who mentioned it to you’) the stairs look so much more realistic with that feature added. Your whole staircase looks super. And the stud wall, that is great! I’m just in the process of making an under stairs cupboard for my wartime house. I made one in another of my houses and they really do look good and make good use of the space beneath the stairs. I just love these dollshouse diaries - Thankyou 😊
Oh, how I wish someone had mentioned this to me - 6 staircases ago...........I dislike the way mine look, but fortunately it is only possible to catch glimpses of the stairs through open doorways.
Thank you so much, Kath, I'm glad you're enjoying this series; it's nice to know you're following along with me! I'm looking forward to building the cupboard under the stairs. I love your wartime house, by the way! :)
I always find myself answering any questions you ask or giving my opinion when you’re having a think about what you’re going to do. Out loud. Then my husband or kids ask me who I’m talking to and I say Julie. Then they ask on speaker phone? 🤦🏼♀️ Any way, another lovely tutorial as always. Looking forward to the Patreon tub surround.
Just so you know I LOVE your Longer videos! Like when you walk us thru your thought process , where to put the tub and comparing before and after remodeling hallway railing and ideas for accessories it is so inspiring!
As usual you did a great job! I thoroughly enjoy watching you do such excellent work!! I don’t have the patience to be as meticulous as you are. I was missing your videos and glad to see you back on You Tube. You are so very talented. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift of miniature doll house building!! 🐿 ❤️
It's amazing how much the right scale makes the dollhouse look like a "real" house. I understand why it has to be chunkier if little children are meant to play with it, but it looks so much better. The old railing looks so grotesque compared to your new railing.
I'm thoroughly enjoying your Dolls House Diaries and today's was especially instructive--it's fun to see all the mechanical and construction details (the wall build was very interesting) in addition to all the pretty, "fun" stuff like the furniture and tiny detail pieces.
Exellent episode of DH Diary as always!! In my DH I altered the top floor (it had walls but no doors) and I made the bathroom slightly smaller to incorporate a short corridor with a linen/store cupboard at the end complete with a "bare" lightbulb hanging from the ceiling. I like the secret details and I like things to look like they'd work in the real world.
You continue to amaze me, especially about the false wall! My stairs came ready made but adding the baseboard was a nightmare. We did it differently but arrived at the same result. Thank you so much!!!
I have put skirting up the sides of stairs. I had wondered about the way I did it but you have done it the same way, so now I’m happier with my method 😁
I have the classic dolls house and ordinarily, the stairs are walled in. However, I removed the stair wall on the ground floor so as to open up the room a little more. I used the under stairs to house the body of a spinet. The front is clearly visible and the girl can be seen sitting there to play. It has added a good deal of extra room. I have also added a bookcase to the back wall where it would not normally be seen.
Julie, thanks for the videos. I have made several of your items. I am having trouble with the size of my stair opening and placement from the back wall. Could you please tell me the opening floor dimensions and the distance from the back wall in your dollhouse. I am also using 2 floors with stairs in the same position as your dollhouse. Mine is also left wall stairs @. Thank you.
Love your house and ideas. I just posted a video of my dollhouse hallway looking for tips to re-decorate it. That's how I looked up hallway ideas. Nice Vid
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BECAUSE WE THINK ALIKE!!! ARE YOU GOING TO keep the false wall removable for ease of decorating ? I LOVE false walls , doors and hallways!!
I know this video is older, but I was a little worried when you talked about not being able to see the upstairs railing because you didn't look through the door in the guest bedroom. Will that be kept closed? If not, can you see the stairwell from the guest bedroom?
I'm not too sure what you mean, Rosie? You can only see the stairwell through the door if you look through the side window - or put your head right into the room! :)
Thank you I need help with doors I making my door I don know how to attach to the walls without the hinger I think they call not sure or frame this is old house and they cut the walls with the wrong measure
Hi Flor, even if the doors are slightly uneven, you can still create a frame to sit the door into, even if it's slightly higher on one side, then just build the door to fit into it. I hope that helps. :)
May I please ask you a question. If you are far too busy to get back to me on this. I will understand =)) I want to start with I LOVE your videos... you are helping me a LOT with my work =)) so thank you!!! I also love the ideas you have with the bathroom, and the hall =)) I may have missed this in an earlier video.. but I haven't see all the videos as of yet. How would you get to the room to the left?? I see that you have a doorway to the room to the right of the hall, but how would they get to the other room. would you have to walk thought the bathroom to get to the room to the left.?? Thank you for all your help? videos as well as walking us all thought how to do the projects we are working on. Thank you Justin Jasso
Definitely on the 4th wall - where it would probably be in "Real Life". Because of the real layout of my Obsession, I have all of the fireplaces on the 4th wall. Wish I were able to be a Patreon! I have recently decided that I need to enclose the bathtub in my 1938 bathroom. These are surprisingly hard to find ready-made. "It should be completely square - I'm pretty certain that the doll house is square"...................so glad yours is................there are some places in my Obsession that appear to have been constructed by a blind, drunken, ogre using a piece of limp pasta instead of a measuring rule, and vegetables as tools................ Anyone have any suggestions on a platform I can use to show photos of some parts of this project (as soon as they are presentable)? I do not use Facebook, but am willing to explore other options. Thanks, Julie, for another fun and instructive episode!
George Cunningham have you thought of making a blog. I use Blogger and have documented all my work on all of my houses. There’s also Instagram and Wordpress.
@@kathcryer7640 Thank you! I was going to look into Instagram later today, but will change my priority and look into Blogger first. My main concern is being able to explain and expound in depth while comparing y "Dolls House" to the original building. In other words, I need a place where I can be wordy as well as visual!
Thank you so much, George. You can post photos here on TH-cam, too, just go to the Community tab on your homepage and you can do it there. I'm so excited about seeing your wonderful dolls house.
Beautifully crafted and she's so good with her comments and everything. 👍♥️
Thank you so much, Liz.

I'm glad that you're back! I looked at the landing at the top of my stairs and my floor sticks out past the posts, so you're good there! Realistic!
Thank you so much, Tiffany. I'll try not to leave so long between videos from now on. :)

Thank you so much, Gretchen, I'm glad you enjoy the longer vids. :)
Another great tutorial Julie. Think you’ve made the right decision about the bath position, looking forward to the “cupboard under the stairs” video 😊
Thank you so much, Ruth. I'm really looking forward to building that cupboard! I'm imagining it with a little light on inside!
As usual you did a great job! I thoroughly enjoy watching you do such excellent work!! I don’t have the patience to be as meticulous as you are. I was missing your videos and glad to see you back on You Tube. You are so very talented. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift of miniature doll house building!! 🐿 ❤️
Thank you so much, Elizabeth. I shall try not to leave it so long before posting up the next video! :)
It's amazing how much the right scale makes the dollhouse look like a "real" house. I understand why it has to be chunkier if little children are meant to play with it, but it looks so much better. The old railing looks so grotesque compared to your new railing.
I agree, finer scale pieces do look more realistic. :)
It's also fun to look through the windows. Looks so real!
I love to do that, too! :)

I just love all of your work. All of it, from the designs and colors to your excellent tutorials.
Thank you so much, that's lovely to hear.

I like the secret details and I like things to look like they'd work in the real world.
That sounds really good. I just love little 'nooks and crannies' that you have to peer right in to the DH to see!
Fantástico ,eu estou encantada parabéns. 👍👍👍👏👏👏💕💕👍👍
Muito obrigado. :)
You continue to amaze me, especially about the false wall! My stairs came ready made but adding the baseboard was a nightmare. We did it differently but arrived at the same result. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much, Beth. False walls are a great way of adding a bit more depth to a dollhouse. I love the idea of hidden rooms. :)
Amazing video, as always. I could watch you for hours. As a matter of fact, I have. Lol. I binge watch. I love this series. You are so talented.
Thank you so much, Jeanette. I'm glad you're enjoying this series. :)
I have put skirting up the sides of stairs. I had wondered about the way I did it but you have done it the same way, so now I’m happier with my method 😁
Great miniatures minds think alike! :)

Thank you so much. I'll be sure to check out your channel.
@@JulieWarren You're welcome and thank you also.
You usually have a keen eye, but I feel your spindles are unevenly spaced at the top. Love your work ❤
If they are it's not noticeable when looking inside.
What about a pocket door or a barn door that slides on rails and wouldn't need to open into the room?
I shall have the door opening out into the back hallway, so I won't loose any room in the bathroom. :)
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BECAUSE WE THINK ALIKE!!! ARE YOU GOING TO keep the false wall removable for ease of decorating ? I LOVE false walls , doors and hallways!!
Thank you so much, Gretchen. Yes, I'll keep the wall removable until everything is complete in the back hallway.
Suggestion.....faux wall door into bathroom could be a slider. That way it doesn't take up floor space
Thank you for the suggestion, but I'm not keen on sliding doors, I like the idea of the door standing open into the back hallway, too.
I know this video is older, but I was a little worried when you talked about not being able to see the upstairs railing because you didn't look through the door in the guest bedroom. Will that be kept closed? If not, can you see the stairwell from the guest bedroom?
I'm not too sure what you mean, Rosie? You can only see the stairwell through the door if you look through the side window - or put your head right into the room! :)

I do hope you find another platform. After the recent changes they've made to Facebook, I rarely go there.
I had really hoped to be able to see your Dolls house on Julie's FB page but understand you not wanting to go there.
