I just retrieved my doll house that was made originally for my mother by my uncle. Over a hundred years old. Watching your videos give me guidance on where to begin. I just had my 59 birthday so its been a while since I've played with it. I can't wait to begin.
My dear friend’s husband, a space engineer, liked a building in Europe so much, so he took loads of pictures of it. Came home and figured out the measurements, and built it from scratch! 🤯 it’s an absolutely gorgeous yarn shop for his wife decorated for Christmas. It’s stunning. And a great work of a genius man. 🩷
It is so rare that I see an authentic aged dollhouse filled with lovely old things. And it is not a fancy museum piece, children have actually owned and played with this house. It is soo beautiful and you have made a great job with cleaning and redecorating it ❤ Beautiful video also, so relaxing, great job thank you for sharing.
Imagine how happy the original owner is as she and her companions smile from heaven watching you! Just very lovely, many thanks for brightening my day.
Ladies, the copper bowl on legs that you said “you never knew what it was” is actually an old world Sicilian piece called a brascera and it was the best way to warm up a room if there was no fireplace. It was a basin made of copper and brass (or iron), inside which the embers were placed so that it gave heat and spread it throughout the room. Sicilians would refer to it as a conca.. With regards to your beautiful whimsical dolls house, it’s has been a treat to watch you both delight in its restoration…you both possess the gift of story telling, your imaginations brimming and alive, the artistry directly from your hearts, completely tangible and resulting in a symphony of visual beauty, always accompanied by quaint melodious well chosen music. Watching your videos, one is left in a complete state of relaxation. What a gorgeous pair you are, generously gifting your remarkable talents to us all. We, your viewers are blessed to witness the bond and loving amicability you both share. Best wishes for all future endeavours…from me, Aurora 😊
Aurora, what a beautiful turn of phrase you have gifted us. You paint pictures with your words and offer high praise to the gifts given us by Fleur and Kate. Blessings to all.
Just re-watching this again. It is so calming to watch your love for the details, your appreciation of old things and your calm and gentle dialogue. So cozy, peaceful and so very special. You two are unique gems. Love and greetings from Augsburg, Germany. ❤
I appreciate that you look at your dollhouses through a child's eyes! A child would have used bits and bobs from around the house to decorate so items would not be completely "in scale". A house this age would have naturally aged- furniture and linens would have faded, pots and pans rusted. Have you ever considered doing a tour of your home?!?! I would imagine you have some amazing decor!
What I love most is a mother and daughter making memories together that will last a lifetime. My daughter and I would shop for Renwal plastic dollhouse furniture. Before she was born I created items from wood, dry goods, etc. You are commended for restoring this dollhouse. I love looking for goodies throughout the house. 💕👏🏼
This is simply enchanting. Everything about this video is utterly wonderful. I am just enthralled. I recognised so many of the items as my granddad made my sister and I a wooden dolls house with very similar furniture and we loved it. Your commentary and the music are perfect. Thank you ❤xxx
I was having anxiety tonight and feeling lonely. Thank you for the.video. I love the content and your voices and light music is so soothing. It really helped me feel less lonely and more relaxed.
I am in the middle of watching your video and I just had to stop and make a few comments, one is how wonderful to get a old doll house and the furnishings. The cloves are great because they were used to keep bugs and mice out of the doll house, often moms would make little satchels like pillows filled with herbs and such not just to keep things smelling fresh bug to keep critters out of things, it was a discreet way of doing things. Thanks to you ladies I have reconnected with the miniature world! I have looked up so many videos on making miniature furniture and dishes, food and housing I am so astonished how much is out there that can be made so easily and cheaply! I grew up with brothers who built model cars and planes and trains and to this day my eldest brother makes dioramas for his models and has a group on FB but he didn't do like doll house miniatures, but like train sets and building to scales so It is a new addition to learning miniatures that I am grateful for. I sadly admit I never had my own dolls as a child, It was tough in those days. So this could be in a way making up for things now as a adult. :) Bless you both!
I could listen to and watch you two all day long! Kindred spirits I feel I am with you both. Vintage dollhouses, filled with sweet vintage, played-with treasures - it is the epitome of happiness, coziness and time well spent on heartfelt moments and hours. The music you have in the background is so soothing as well. I’m working on a vintage Triang now, as well as a vintage GeeBee. In the US, these, as well as anything 1:16 scale is near impossible to find. eBay is good, of course, but shipping isn’t always a service offered from the seller and then, sometimes when shipping is available, the cost is often hard to justify (an item that sells for $5 and shipping is $26!). Yet, I am grateful to be able to see treasures even if I can’t always purchase as I dream! ❤️ Continued joy to you both. Thanks for all your amazing videos! Kathleen
My grandfather who built my Aunt a doll house when she was small. I played with it as a child. Back then it was pretty shabby but still.loved. My grandmother got cancer when I was 20 and my Aunt and grandmother started repairing it. My grandmother was very ill and helped sew new sofa covers, blankets and such. It was hard losing my Gran but I know that spending time with her daughter and talk of times past helped the time she pass the time she had. My Aunt took the doll house home for grand daughter. I hope it gets passed to her daughter and so on. I love that you are restoring this dollhouse., and keeping a lot of the original detail. ❤❤❤
Absolutely precious. I watched the whole thing and found it so calming and soothing. The music, the love you have for what you are creating and each other, beautiful. Thx for sharing! ❤❤❤❤❤
I think all the generations of children who have enjoyed playing in this beautiful doll’s house, would absolutely approve of everything you have both done in the restoration of it. You have kept it in the true spirit of what it was originally made to be …. Something to keep children occupied on rainy days & Sundays …. & at other times too. Love it. Dwyllis (in New Zealand) …
So 33:21 is actually a tiny replica of an incense holder, used for Catholic mass or other orthodox services. There were a few other orthodox items I spotted that came with this house too (paintings mostly).
Some of the small metal objects , the thimble, metal boat and soldier statue, wooden shoe are cake charms . I was given a set of the from 100 yrs ago. Often children would be allowed to keep charms from their slice of cake as a souvenir from the party .
Ladies the doll house turned out beautifully. It is so relaxing watching you decorate, I can imagine that it is much more so doing it in person. Thank you for sharing this lovely doll house with us!
I enjoyed your video so much! The house is just fabulous! I love how you kept it original, so sweet and thoughtful. I have always loved miniatures! As a young girl, with a few changes I turned regular household items into barbie furniture and such. I have wanted a doll house forever! This made me want one even more. I would love to create one with my daughter! 🥰
You both did a very sensitive and artistic restoration. There are few museum curators that could do better! Too many old houses are ruined by new paper and paint! The history shows and makes this an extra special treasure. Thank you again for some of the most beautiful footage on TH-cam.
Removing the paper might cause damage to the wood due to its age, so I think that you did the best thing. What I like about these vintage/antique houses is that you don't pay much attention to scale - if it fits, or looks right, you just pop it in. With modern dh's and miniatures, so much of it revolves around getting the scale right. With the living room, I think it's a case of having too many miniatures and not enough room for them all.
Yes about scale- I use what I love and really like the fun and fantasy look of different scaled items in dolls' houses. That is the original way the Duch cabinet houses looked, and also many wealthy collectors today do the same. (I am a low income person but love studying the history of dolls' houses, and have many small items in my bookcase- wish I could have a house for them)
Absolutely love love love this entire house!!! An idea for you pantry: use some tiny mesh to wrap your ham in, then hang it on the ceiling, maybe from a wire rack that you could hang other foodstuffs on.
This was so absolutely amazing. I have an old Bliss house that someone gave me, which it is ok on the inside but the paper is falling to pieces on the outside (she left it on a sunporch and it got very damaged). This inspires me to fix it and put in the old furniture that came with it, and to find some old 1920s accessories. Thank you for this labour of love - it is very inspirational!
Hello Fleur and Kate, I've been really looking forward to this special video on your Charleston House. I have two Lines dolls houses myself and love them so much. This has made my evening now, I'm going to make a cuppa and relax and enjoy this. Waving to you from Ireland ☘
This is just a wonderful video, I redress unwanted/unloved porcelain dolls. The majority of the work I do is assembly and hand-sewn clothing The period I focus on is the European Renaissance 1500-1600. Total respect for all the time and love you put into cleaning and restoring this doll house to a better condition. Dust is much more damaging than many people think to collectibles. My husband and I have many and we have plans for many curio cabinets for my dolls and his miniature armies. It's lovely to see the Doll's House being treasured, well done!
Beautiful to watch … I’m a miniaturist myself so I love and appreciate all the work and restoration you did on this lovely dollhouse, or as you say dolls house! ❤
It’s beautiful!!!! All the little details really do make it come to life. Especially keeping the house how it would have looked when the original little girl would have played with it. I’ve been looking into getting my own dolls house, I never had one growing up, and this gives so much inspiration 🙂🙂
I LOVE this! It is beautiful and the fact that it is so full of precious things makes it even more so. I'm so glad that you didn't choose to "false" age the planters because they will be a wonderful addition to the true history of this house...90 years from now they will have aged naturally and they will be the addition to her history that you have added. So well done, ladies! (Google the doll house of "Dr Ruth" and you will see another full and beautifully mis-matched dollhouse. Phooey to the ones who want you to make things look new and less embellished!)
I always "modernized" my doll houses a little when I got them. I added brand new stuff and got rid of or repaired stuff that was knackered. I made it my own and considered my stuff as part of the
I’m so glad that you have kept all of the original piece from this doll house. You both have done an amazing job. You have brought this house back to life❤️with such loving and steady hands.🥰
The old images framed with ornate copper trim is from the late 1860/1870's by the look of the ladies hairstyles and clothing. You also have two what appear to be mirrors which are actually two faded photos as well. These old pictures lose their images when theyre exposed to too much light over time.
What a lovely film! I hope you both had as much pleasure watching back and commenting on your work as I did listening to you and enjoying the peaceful process! Thank you!! kindest regards, k
I can see that if you put candles in the candlesticks it could cause a lot of rearranging, so be careful.😃 The whimsical doll's expression made me think she had been put in the naughty corner. I enjoyed the journey, right to to end. Well done...or is it?😄
I love you two, so much compatible thoughts and love of such magical wonder in the little world of dollhouses , i love dollhouses,, thankyou so much for your wonderful videos, i follow every one ❤❤❤, warm wishes from LILLE MARIE xo
What a marvellous job you've made of this house. I absolutely understand why you like to keep things as they are...it's preserving the history and it's lovely to think that some little person played with it in the past just the way you've kept it. If it had gone to a museum, they would have kept it exactly as it is, so you're doing a grand job. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the 1940s house now 😊
I absolutely LOVE this dolls house. The mismatched, found object, vintage, handmade, pre-loved feel is so charming. My dolls houses are all handmade by me. But this makes me want to search ebay for house like this for myself. What a fabulous way to spend the afternoon. watching you bring this house to life again. And happy belated birthday Kate!
I remember when you found this dollhouse. I haven't found the perfect one yet, so I have to settle for rooms made out of cardboard boxes until I find the exact perfect one for me. 😊
I just made candles out of the small glue sticks, I colored them with a sharpie and put a pretend wick in them they look awesome!!! The colored sharpie left them beautifully translucent.
I love your style of making it look lived in. Things are not new and shinny a bit macabre with a "well loved" patina on everything. Whimsical yet realistic.🥰
@@KarmicAngel wtf is your problem? She didnt say she couldnt use it in anyway they wanted she was just saying what the item was for anyone thats interested! You need serous help. Or a life stop jumping down ppls throats
I love the aesthetic of this doll house. It is as if it was rediscovered now after last being played with decades ago. I love the sense of age the doll house and its contents have. It's like a glimpse into the life of the child who last played with it. I'm glad you choose not to make it look brand new. Delightful!
Many years ago, I worked with a gentleman whose wife was very much into miniature items. She made her own items from Bread dough then paint them and lacquer them. Just saying so if you very need items for you doll house you could give it a try. Worked very well and last a very long time, if not a lifetime. Use baked bread the inside portion.
Love this. The thimble and small boot looks like Monopoly game pieces, which is no longer part of the game now. I have that same ,"carpet" in the living room. I believe it was a hot pad for hot dishes one time. I don't know the age but it is pretty old. I would have put the extra dishes in the biscuit tin so you'd have more room under the dresser. All is so beautiful and a delight to watch.
That is harder than spring cleaning in your own house! Oh my a lot of work. You two are so patient and do such a good job. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
I cannot express how much joy your videos have brought me in very tough times…I think they do because of the sincere love you both show for each tiny, lovely piece of whimsy. This is a loved house-it was clearly loved before you got it, it is now blessed with your love, and you have sent to out to be loved by the world! Thank you.
This turned out so well. I am so glad this doll house and all of the furnishings went to the two of you. It would have been such a shame if it had been changed refinished and refurnished. Everything you added fit in so well. I am really looking forward to your next doll house and to see the things you make yourselves. I can hardly wait.
fantastic work in lovingly restoring this gorgeous old dolls house. painting the missing wall papers was the way to go & looks very well done. all the artwork for the walls are very cool. the furnishing of ea. rm. wouldn't be the same w/out them. the drop-leaf kitchen table is perfect. i'm going to ask my husband to recreate it for my dolls house. love all the kitty pets. i hope u don't mind, but i screenshot Sunny lounging in one of the rooms & plan to print it for my art journal. he's so cute. thanx for another very enjoyable film.
A while ago i had watched one of you beautiful lady's videos. Then i lost youse...i thought about you two often...but i couldnt remember the name of your channel then the other day again i had the pleasure of you two popping up in my feed ❤❤ i really enjoy your finds! And all the excitement and happiness that follows!❤❤
I had forgotten how much I adored a dolls house as a child until watching the two of you. I had a distant Aunt that had one that I was allowed to admire but not touch. I’ve been inspired by you two and Ara Bentley to start making doll furniture and plan to make a dolls house of a grandfather clock. It will take forever I’m sure but having so much fun. Thanks for the inspiration
I just retrieved my doll house that was made originally for my mother by my uncle. Over a hundred years old. Watching your videos give me guidance on where to begin. I just had my 59 birthday so its been a while since I've played with it. I can't wait to begin.
The beautiful mother daughter relationship is a precious experience listening to their dialog. It warms my heart, thank you!
I know, it’s just lovely, isn’t it 🥰
I agree. 😊😊
My dear friend’s husband, a space engineer, liked a building in Europe so much, so he took loads of pictures of it. Came home and figured out the measurements, and built it from scratch! 🤯 it’s an absolutely gorgeous yarn shop for his wife decorated for Christmas. It’s stunning. And a great work of a genius man. 🩷

I am BEYOND JEALOUS. As a heart/kidney patient I am disabled at age 59 & my joy is making miniature items for dollhouses. This is beyond beautiful.
Keep well!
can we see your creations?
You should videotape your work...no doubt would be quite successful.
Imagine how happy the original owner is as she and her companions smile from heaven watching you! Just very lovely, many thanks for brightening my day.
Thanks for sharing such a precious treasure. Glad to see someone enjoy this doll house and appreciate it as if it was yesterday.
I think you did the former owners would be proud of how you restored their old dollhouse ❤.
Ladies, the copper bowl on legs that you said “you never knew what it was” is actually an old world Sicilian piece called a brascera and it was the best way to warm up a room if there was no fireplace.

Excellent comment!❤

So poetic.
I love the little “secret” nook under the stairs❤
A dolls house film is never too long. Thank you!

I like your kitty pic. Hope you had a nice week.
U tube has become my way of finding friends that I can visit with anytime I want. New way of life!
I am in the middle of watching your video and I just had to stop and make a few comments, one is how wonderful to get a old doll house and the furnishings. The cloves are great because they were used to keep bugs and mice out of the doll house, often moms would make little satchels like pillows filled with herbs and such not just to keep things smelling fresh bug to keep critters out of things, it was a discreet way of doing things.

Beautiful dollhouse/Beautiful old things
I can see that if you put candles in the candlesticks it could cause a lot of rearranging, so be careful.😃
The whimsical doll's expression made me think she had been put in the naughty corner.
I enjoyed the journey, right to to end. Well done...or is it?😄
I would love to live in that house. It's so cosy

Votre maison a beaucoup de charme, vous avez parfaitement respecté l'atmosphère des maisons de poupées anciennes ❤
Love the flower room, but favorites is the kitchen and the pantry.
My favourite video. My favourite room is the garden room.

But this makes me want to search ebay for house like this for myself. What a fabulous way to spend the afternoon. watching you bring this house to life again. And happy belated birthday Kate!

I just made candles out of the small glue sticks, I colored them with a sharpie and put a pretend wick in them they look awesome!!! The colored sharpie left them beautifully translucent.
I love your style of making it look lived in. Things are not new and shinny a bit macabre with a "well loved" patina on everything. Whimsical yet realistic.🥰
Absolutely beautiful! I enjoyed every single minute! Makes me want to be able to live there. Thank you for sharing.
That weird lamp you bought off of eBay and put in the living room is not a lamp at all. It's a miniature church incense burner ❤
It can be whatever she wants it to be
@@KarmicAngelYes, of course, but that's what it was built as. She says in the video she does not know what it is. And I'm just telling her what it is
I was actually thinking the same
@@KarmicAngel wtf is your problem? She didnt say she couldnt use it in anyway they wanted she was just saying what the item was for anyone thats interested!
You need serous help. Or a life stop jumping down ppls throats
I’m sure they’re so grateful that you pointed that out.
Stunning restoration Fleur and Kate! Thank you so much!!
The cat! How sweet
I love the aesthetic of this doll house. It is as if it was rediscovered now after last being played with decades ago. I love the sense of age the doll house and its contents have. It's like a glimpse into the life of the child who last played with it. I'm glad you choose not to make it look brand new. Delightful!
What a labor of love. ❤🩷💜 Perfect February 💝 episode!
This was such a stunning project and I truly enjoyed the video. What a peaceful and beautiful experience. ❤
Many years ago, I worked with a gentleman whose wife was very much into miniature items.
She made her own items from Bread dough then paint them and lacquer them. Just saying so if you very need items for you doll house you could give it a try. Worked very well and last a very long time, if not a lifetime. Use baked bread the inside portion.
I love watching all your videos and that you use the old items and that you really fill the rooms full! Every room always looks so warm and cozy!❤️
you can make candles out of toothpicks and gesso, with thread for the end of the wick
The Dolly at the front makes Charleston House look very Gone with the wind.... lovely and so relaxing watching you put it all together
Really lovely. A perfect little dream world.
A wonderful journey with you, ty!!
Magical ❤
Love this. The thimble and small boot looks like Monopoly game pieces, which is no longer part of the game now. I have that same ,"carpet" in the living room. I believe it was a hot pad for hot dishes one time. I don't know the age but it is pretty old. I would have put the extra dishes in the biscuit tin so you'd have more room under the dresser. All is so beautiful and a delight to watch.
What an absolutely stunning doll's house! Well done!
I love everything about this dollhouse❤. But the curtains need their tyebacks
That is harder than spring cleaning in your own house! Oh my a lot of work. You two are so patient and do such a good job. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Harder yes, but so much more fun!
Will never forget mudmas and opening fairy acorns gifts. A fantasy world to me, real life for you!
I cannot express how much joy your videos have brought me in very tough times…I think they do because of the sincere love you both show for each tiny, lovely piece of whimsy. This is a loved house-it was clearly loved before you got it, it is now blessed with your love, and you have sent to out to be loved by the world! Thank you.
Hello Ladies from Mason Ohio USA. You did a wonderful job.😊
So sweet
This turned out so well. I am so glad this doll house and all of the furnishings went to the two of you. It would have been such a shame if it had been changed refinished and refurnished. Everything you added fit in so well. I am really looking forward to your next doll house and to see the things you make yourselves. I can hardly wait.
It was so fun to hear your recap of your doll house decorating. ❤ so many beautiful old things. I'm looking forward to your next one. Thank you!!❤ ❤🇺🇸
Just love love the dollhouse!
I have had a smile on my face ever since I started watching this video. I love this. I want to do one for my granddaughter when she is a little older.
so pretty
Me encanta ver sus casas de muñecas y como las van decorando, yo participó como si estuviera ahí ❤
Completely enjoyed. I have 4 dollhouses in my home. Awesome to see. Thanks
fantastic work in lovingly restoring this gorgeous old dolls house. painting the missing wall papers was the way to go & looks very well done. all the artwork for the walls are very cool. the furnishing of ea. rm. wouldn't be the same w/out them. the drop-leaf kitchen table is perfect. i'm going to ask my husband to recreate it for my dolls house. love all the kitty pets. i hope u don't mind, but i screenshot Sunny lounging in one of the rooms & plan to print it for my art journal. he's so cute. thanx for another very enjoyable film.
A while ago i had watched one of you beautiful lady's videos. Then i lost youse...i thought about you two often...but i couldnt remember the name of your channel then the other day again i had the pleasure of you two popping up in my feed
❤❤ i really enjoy your finds! And all the excitement and happiness that follows!❤❤
I had forgotten how much I adored a dolls house as a child until watching the two of you. I had a distant Aunt that had one that I was allowed to admire but not touch. I’ve been inspired by you two and Ara Bentley to start making doll furniture and plan to make a dolls house of a grandfather clock. It will take forever I’m sure but having so much fun. Thanks for the inspiration
