That's a great way to put the flowing down. Thr stairs rail looks good.
The floor looks great, Gretchen.
I love how pretty the flooring turned out. It's simply beautiful.
I love using coffee stirrers, it so much nicer if I sand them then use water down black paint it gives that old floor look. your nail color is so cool!
That flooring looks great, despite the EGU!! Your so funny, also, your nails are so pretty,love the color!
You’re making such great progress!! The floor looks fantastic and the stair rail is lovely!!😍😍💙💙😘😘🏠
The floors came out rrally great, have to try this out in one of my roomas
They both worked out so nice. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Gretchen it came out lovely ,great tip with the paper bag💕💕💕
Well done! Really nice floor and stair-rail. It's all looking good :)
I love what you have done. The floor looks great,and railing. Thank you for sharing.
The floor looks great! And you made me laugh with your EGU 😂
The floor and railings turned out amazing, well done hon. Take care and see you on the next one 👏🙏❤️
Wish I had watched this before making my staircase, it would have helped..mine didn,t come out too bad.I made my own pieces one by one and made the whole thing and when it was done I decided to make a big bookcase under the stairs to use up the space better, it actually looks quite good.
Nice!! I agree about making what you can to have a bit of cash for items that you either can't make, or are special finds.
I really like the thin strips...it's a different look altogether. I love the railing too...and you definitely don't want Aunt Janey or Aunt Bess to fall between the landing and the stairs! My dorm in college didn't have a rail (yeah, it was really old and was redone the year after I left) and it was kind of...exciting late at night!
The floor looks great. I really like how you did the transition floor🥰🌺🌺🌺
You brighten my day, and give me great inspiration. Have a great day
I'm so glad to hear this!!! It is truly a joy creating these videos for you Dolls 💖💖💖😃!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 keep up the good work
That floor looks beautiful Gretchen, I love the colour too, Aunt Shirley’s house is coming along beautifully, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Love the floor and rails!
Great tutorial and tips. I just got a brown paper bag today when I went grocery shopping, and I can't wait to make my own flooring.
What a beautiful floor! The paper bag template is the perfect template material. The EGU is a problem I deal with too- but it's just too fun ! Thank you for a great video!
Thank you Regina I'm so glad you're enjoying this!! ☺️ I have come to accept that EGU is something I'll probably struggle with the rest of my dollhousing life! 🤣😂🤭
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 How funny- and true for me too! ♡
I thought they were gonna be too thin but they look awesome. Queen city has a great series on making flooring with double sided carpet tape you should try
Miss Gretchen the floors look amazing. You inspired me , so I went and added some touches for my tub for my open concept house and took some costume jewelry and made a stopper for the tub 🛀 The stopper is made out of a piece of costume jewelry a gold chain with links, and jewel clear 💎 if it perfectly in the hole 🕳️ the little miniature Little size bigger than the links on the chain ⛓️💥 ring around the jewelry Wrapped around so now I have a tub faucet added jewel with some fast drying glue for the stopper for my tub 🛀 and mix some epoxy Resin & expoxy Resin Hardenre made a mode from the tub. Add some clear marbles in there and it looks like a tub with bubbles 🫧 and then for the sink the kitchen sink I made a mold to the same thing and place some dishes in there and let them harden like the dishes Need to be washed water in the sink and I wanted to look 👀 like someone was in a hurry and they left the dishes, dirty , because I didn’t want people living in the home at least not yet, I like it empty, it just given the illusion that someone does live there. They just happen to be not home because they work so hard and they’re always on the go so I tried to make the house lived in magazines around sitting on the chair with a cup of orange juice, all the time 😅😅😅😅but I enjoy watching everybody else miniature people in them, I’m just not in the mood to deal with getting the right people in the open concept I like it looking like everybody’s at work,lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I didn’t want my husband to really see anything because he’ll start laughing, 🤣 he had no idea for many years that I was into miniatures because I work so hard and was always taking care of someone to the point. I forgot my hobbies, and I kind of lost myself taking care of everybody else, but once he saw everything, he said you know what you need are lights so he ordered me some lights 😅😅😅😅😅 now, since my mom passed recently doing the time that I retired , I took care of her. I had to retire because I was going through breast cancer but now since I am a cancer overcoming free from cancer my mother happened to go down and needed my assistance the whole family so my family and I took turns caring for her. I had the dayshift, and I trained everyone else how to care for her for the weekend and for, and after she passed and my sister now, decided to get her a caregiver, now I’m able to do crafts and little things I’ve always wanted to do but didn’t have the time., before I start to get really busy again I decided to take the time, of course, study 📖 the word of God 1st and praying, and Visiting, people who are sick 🤒 praying with people and also to do my little hobbies that I like I’m not an expert and none of my hobbies, but they’re fun! I’m just introducing myself , since I’m new to your channel you know nothing about me so I thought I’ll introduce myself. My name is Mary , You’re probably never read this but if you do since I’m getting to know you, this is a little bit who I am. P.S. I enjoy your videos, immensely !! lol 😂 🥰👩🏾🦲😘
Hi Mary! Yes I read it! 😀 It's so Nice to meet You! Welcome to Little Gretchen's Workshop! I'm so glad you are here! I totally understand some of the challenges of caring for someone you Love! It takes a lot! I'm glad to hear you are cancer free and enjoying some free time doing the things you enjoy! It's nice that your husband is supportive of your art! Taking time in the Word and prayer is essential. Thank You for sharing with me! You mentioned in another comment about modern items. Let me know.☺️💖💖💖
Hello Gretchen, the floor looks great, it blends nicely with the flooring on the other side, the banister looks really good too, you've turned the house around really quickly, can't wait to see you dress it. Have a lovely week.
Best Wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊
Thanks so much Diane! 😊💖💖💖😃
I'm commenting ad I watch so sorry for so many but the paper bag method is brilliant! I usually use poster board but this looks much better and it's already brown which is awesome. Thank you, Gretchen. I always learn something from you. (Like the fact that EGU is a real condition which I also suffer from. Lol)
☺️💖. Never worry about making too many comments I love it!!! I Love all these micro conversations 😅😂🤭💖!!!!
And yes EGU is a real thing! I've been in recovery for quite some time! I'm better but I don't know if l can ever be cured 🤣😅🤭😂💖
The floor is looking great my friend, and thank goodness you have that stair rail sorted. I would hate to read reports of dolls having accidents in the stairwell!
I love the floors and rails. We're going to have to take up some donations to send you to EGU therapy!! 😂
Nice! I have some Weld Bond and may have to try it when I do some woodwork on my restoration! I'm not always as neat as I would like either and I love anything that can disguise that. Lol!
Ah I am happy that I saw your video before I made my floors!
I did make a floor on think cardboard but it warped even with weighing it down !
The popsicles sticks curled up!
I was so upset about it and decided not to make anymore flooring until I know what happened!
But coffee stirring sticks seems to be a better choice to use for flooring.
Thank you for your videos!
I always look forward to seeing you!
Love and light beautiful Doll 💖❤
Yes the paper bag is an excellent template because it stands so it won't lift the height of your floor and it can handle the moisture very well. Also because it's thin it dries quickly and you have a wonderfully flat floor that's still flexible when it's time to install it. Yeah try your Popsicle sticks again using the brown paper bag instead of the cardboard I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! 💖😃💖💖 Let me know how it turns out!
I love the flooring tip. I am currently working on a project, and everything has been a learning experience. What I mean by that is I have had to redo some things over. I love miniatures but dislike math.😂
Fabulous, fabulous - as always!
And what would a wood project be without EG? (Excessive glue). You are a floor expert, Gretchen!
The banisters look great too! The house will be ready soon for occupants! ❤ Kathleen
"while I'm not as neat as I should be"... don't even try that, Kiddo. We're both on the same keel. lol Your videos just started coming across my screen and I have had the pleasure of watching them now! You have a new subscriber. Thank you!
What about drilling into the rails about 1/2 way ... or at least enough to set the dowel in? That's how i do it. I sand to round a bit, the bottom , and tops of the dowel (spindle) and they fit perfectly.
The main "hack" I would suggest on placing the newel posts is a spacer. That will make them equidistant without a lot of measuring.
That is a Wonderful hack Mary Kay thank You!!! I have to do that next time!!😃😃💖💖💖
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 Yeah, I also do not like too much measuring so I got a zillion ways to get out of it or go around it.
Wonderful & inspiring! The flooring looks really amazing.
Do you buy your stir sticks or liberate them from coffee shops? I am trying to figure out what I can make with the green stoppers Starbucks uses.
Hi there Lola!!! I order them off of Amazon and the link is in the description! I keep a supply of them cuz I used them for so many things. Yet I have been known to "liberate" some from the coffee house as well 😅🤭😂💖💖💖💖💖
You asked for any advice on the spacing. TheEclecticThrifter&Crafter recently did a video where she used tape and popsicle sticks to properly space the uprights of her 1:12 balcony railings- she laid the tape out sticky-side-up and put down an upright, then a popsicle stick, then another upright, and so on. When all the uprights were down, she removed the popsicle sticks. It's only a 6.5 minute video if you're interested. th-cam.com/video/BInfRJCKeu8/w-d-xo.html Your floor and railing look good! I actually measured with my little banister (gasp!), but it still came out wonky. Lol. I'm so glad you're looking out for the dolls' safety. We definitely don't want any falls or splinters!
Thank you so much for the tip/hack! I'm going to check out that video too! Because they're definitely more stair rails in my future!! 🤭😅🤣😃💖
Personally I measure once and cut 3 times then measure again 😂😂
I Read this over and just kept laughing LOLOLOLL!!!!😂🤭😂😅🤣🤣😂💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
@littlegretchensworkshop7665 ADHD and miniatures don't mix well but I still love the process 🤣😍
