I adore the special effects- the broom closet door opening magically, perfectly in sync with the music! Miss Crabtree looks so cozy, reclining in her easy-chair by the crackling fireplace. The camerawork and curated soundtrack are the cherries on top of this work of art!
We appreciated your detailed comment very much. In reality, Miss Crabtree's ankles were tied together to promote an appropriate seated position. Yes, D-dot excelled in musical score and camera angles.
Incredibly life like and such a fascinating work of art! Your workmanship and attention to detail is to be commended as is your husband's filming ability. How neat that you and your Dad made this house so many years ago!
Gorgeous house! I really enjoyed your video. I have a similar house but it's built into a cabinet. Most of my furniture is antique Strombecker. (We share a few of the same pieces)! My dolls are vintage Caco from the 1940s-1960s. A lot of my accessories are vintage pot metal Cracker Jack prizes. I framed postage stamps from the 1938 World's Fair as artwork. I made all the curtains, drapes and bedding myself. I hired out other artists to crochet miniature doilies for the backs of chairs and to scatter on dressers and such. I wish I could send you pics, I know you'd love it! Thanks for making my day with your exquisite house.
Your positive comments made all the work worthwhile. Yes, I would love to view your cabinet house; that is the display choice of the historic Dutch miniaturists. I had a lot of fun making the curtains and quilts. All my dolls have names. I plan to decorate for Christmas. Presently, I am trying to clear a bedroom for the house. Thanks & I hope you enjoy many happy hours with your dolls.
Oh my gosh - it is so charming! Thank you for posting the lovely video - great job!!!! Loved all the dollies with their sweet faces - they wore all their best garments for the boarding house's unveiling. And that kitty - he or she really gets around! Especially loved the placement of on the bed - how typical of cats who only want to be cozy and comfy. The lighting really enhances the house - wonderful!! Fantastic work to create a beautiful home for many needy occupants who look quite settled and at home in this time of Depression. At least the kiddies have some beautiful toys and the company of darling kitty! So proud of you, Ruth - what a work of love and dedication to your family who all participated. Love it and you and Mike for bringing this project to fruition.
What a perfectly delightful house! I love how it is done, I love the vintage play furniture, this is the style I love most. Thank you SO much for sharing. I’m saving the video to watch again and again for inspiration and as I keep spotting pieces I want to add to my wishlist. 💖💖💖💖
Thank you for your kind comment. Building a dollhouse is a great hobby . The best advice I heard on line in a you tube video: don't worry about mistakes; they can always be fixed.
Great job! Love the way it starts outside next to other houses and then moves inside! Beautiful interior and pieces! I stepped back in time! A quality piece of ART! Thank you for putting this all together and sharing with others. A labor of 💕 LOVE.
Absolutely loved this film and watched it twice straight away.Loved the intro the music and most of all the house full of such lovely details and period dolls.Fantastic,just wished it had been a little longer in some rooms as loved taking in all the details.Best wishes from Yorkshire Dales England.
Thank you for your kind comment. It is wonderful to hear from a dollhouse enthusiast in England. I watched many Julie Warren videos to learn about dollhouse decoration. My husband, the cameraman appreciated your comments too.
I like this so much! Your story, your research, all comes together and has a very nostalgic ambiance for me, as I am born in 1939 and have been trying to create a 'dolls' house' in a large bookcase, representing 1937, the year my parents (and my husband's parents) married. i own a few of the items like those you have featured.
Thank you for the kind comment. I googled images for 1930's kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms and looked at fashions. The doll clothing was challenging to make; usually required at least six tries. Good luck; it is a fun & challenging hobby.
One thing I have found restoring my 100yr plus dollhouse, is that the house won't simply be contemporary, but made up of furniture etc going back maybe another 100yrs. I think the old lady from Victorian times would dress old style.

Thanks, Diane. Your paint color mixing added so much to the authenticity of the slate roof.

I'd like having lived in the 30s
Me too. A disappointment is not having been inside original Pennsylvania Station in NYC.
