Oh how lovely to see this interview! I made the Georgian house in 1992, whilst pregnant with my now almost 30 year old son! I thought I would need a hobby not working full time any more 🙄 and as I came across the Build a Dollshouse book in a mainly secondhand bookshop in The Hague, it seemed like it was meant to be. I could not have found another book with as much detail for a complete novice. I built the house in about 2 weeks including the windows and then the staircase and doors in about 3 weeks. I’ve been working on the house in fits and starts ever since! The house may be 30 years old, but it’s still quite solid and doesn’t need anything doing to it! Well, maybe a bit of paint and some new wallpaper and some more furniture or more pottery or new curtains ….
Thank you so much for sharing your story. How lovely. I'm so glad I was able to take you on a trip down memory lane. It was lovely meeting Michal, she is so knowledgeable about everything to do with dolls house and miniatures! :)
@@JulieWarren Thanks & believe me I'm always ready for new video's, also I am planning on making a dolls house with my folks in the future so my miniself doll and other doll projects can have either house, diorama of lakes or loch, or which ever, if that succeed, I'll be able to buy Moonlight Jewel BJD Rabbit dolls so I can make them into Peter Rabbit family and cousin.
Fabulous! Thank you for letting me accompany you. I did buy some items from the shop in Covent Garden in the 90’s. I used to take my 6th form Art students to the galleries, but they loved visiting the dolls house shop❤️
How lovely to be out and about - and how wonderful to have spent time with Madame Morse! She is a living legend, keeping history in hand, preserving much of the past. Thank you for allowing us to peek into your "little" visit!
That was fun to watch thank you. I would to have all those houses to do up again, some beautiful ones. How nice of Michal to show you around and answer your questions.
I'm glad you enjoyed this episode. I really had to stop myself from buying any of the houses! I loved the large, L-shaped, one that opened from the back!
Such an interesting lady, incredible shop and I love the new format. I bought my first dolls house after watching your tutorials which saved my sanity during lockdown. Thank you for all your hard work.
Oh wow, I think I have actually been to her shop in Covent Garden, dragged my brother along to all miniature shops we could find on that trip! So many years ago now.
Thanks Moi, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. When I first started out in this hobby, I always loved your articles in Dolls House & Miniature Scene, they were very helpful, so thank you. xx
I really enjoy being out and about with you and your husband. It very interesting for an American to visit the wonderful places in your country. Thank you for sharing
As a lover of history as well as Dolls houses it was fascinating to hear where some of the houses have come from and see so many that have obviously been loved and played with over the years. Thank you for taking the time to chat to Michal and share it with us Julie x
That was a lovely film. When I first began my road to dolls houses and miniatures I bought her book and I was totally hooked!!!The book is one of my treasured possessions. I am certainly pleased to have found your channel Julie and thank you for your kind note with my recent order. However stressed the world can seem and it certainly is at the moment you can escape to the world of dolls houses and it’s a happy place to be. Thank you Kind wishes Pamela
Hi Pamela, it's lovely that her book was one of the first you bought! I totally agree with you about being able to escape into this wonderful hobby, it's nice to get away from some of the awful things that are happening in the world, if only for a little while at a time. xx
Thanks Julie & Michal, I enjoyed seeing all those Gems immensely. I was especially interested in the Tudor period house/dolls etc...as I'm currently thinking of working on one from this era myself. 🌸
I really enjoyed this video, thank you so much for sharing, what an interesting lady her little dogs were sweet too, miniatures and dogs what more could we want😊x
I'm pretty sure they're used for turning the lights on and off in the individual rooms. Nowadays, you can buy remote controls to do that. They were lovely though, weren't they!
So fun. Really nice to see these old, old houses. And I loved the owner herself. Is she Michal Morse? I bought one of the books while you were showing us around--well, secondhand anyway. Thanks!
Julie, I have a few questions for you. How many dolls houses do you have? Do you renovate the same house again & again or are they additional houses? What do you do with the completed houses? I am a novice to dolls houses and I have completed a furnished house. But I’m not sure what my next step should be?! I so enjoy your videos and am delighted to watch your new format!! Thank you.
Hi Patricia, I have two dolls houses and shall only renovate each of them once, then move onto a new project. With my current dolls house, that you'll see here on TH-cam, I started again as I'd left it for quite a while without doing anything to it, and when I came back to it, wasn't happy with the decoration. I shall keep my completed houses and hope, one day, to hold an exhibition of them. It's really up to you what you do with them when complete, either sell them or keep them as a collection - it can depend on whether you have the space! :)

Michal seem really sweet. It was interesting to see all the different houses and hear her talk. Thank you Julie for taking us with you on this trip. 😀
Thanks Heather, I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
She's LIVING HISTORY! I' read her books years ago!
She really is! :)
I've just watched this video again, I still cannot believe the amount of detail on some of the houses .
There were some really lovely houses and quite a few I would have liked to have bought :)
Beautiful dollhouses, such exquisite art. See you on your next video. :)
I felt like a kid at Christmas in that shop! See you soon! xx

Thanks Julie, that was interesting and enjoyable!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
"There wasn't enough room for it, so they send it to me." That's the kind of humor I love!
I know! She really is a character. :)
Such an interesting lady, incredible shop and I love the new format. I bought my first dolls house after watching your tutorials which saved my sanity during lockdown. Thank you for all your hard work.
Thank you so much Lynne, that's lovely to know. :)

@@JulieWarren Aww, thanks Julie! xx
What a fabulous day out! And what a very interesting lady. Don’t you just itch to do some refurb on some of those houses!
Every house I looked at, I was picturing in my head what could be done with it! :)
Thank you so much merry 😍
You are very welcome. :)
That was fabulous. Thank you ❤
Thanks Kate.
I really enjoy being out and about with you and your husband. It very interesting for an American to visit the wonderful places in your country. Thank you for sharing
Thanks Debbie, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :)
Good morning Julie. These are the same as I'm making. Given me some ideas thank you 👍👍
Hi Harry. I'm glad you've had some ideas for your own projects. :)
As a lover of history as well as Dolls houses it was fascinating to hear where some of the houses have come from and see so many that have obviously been loved and played with over the years. Thank you for taking the time to chat to Michal and share it with us Julie x
Thank you so much Alison. It was a lovely day and such a treat to be able to browse around the shop as we liked. xx
Loved it Julie. I wish there were such a place in Australia❤️
Thanks Vicki. There should be more dolls house shops, I think everything is moving online nowadays. :(
What amazing pieces! Absolutely love the stories of their history! 💜💜
Michal really is an interesting lady, full of great stories.
That was a lovely film. When I first began my road to dolls houses and miniatures I bought her book and I was totally hooked!!!The book is one of my treasured possessions.
I am certainly pleased to have found your channel Julie and thank you for your kind note with my recent order.

What a wonderful tour! I really enjoyed seeing all of these treasures! Simply amazing.
Thanks Leslie, I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
What a wonderful place! And a lovely lady! There is a miniature museum where I live. It’s about time for another visit! Thank you for sharing!❤️
I'd love to have a miniature museum nearby, the closest one to us is London. :)
That was a lovely video thanks. I really enjoyed your chat with Michal and the snoop around her shop. 😊
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Thanks Julie & Michal, I enjoyed seeing all those Gems immensely. I was especially interested in the Tudor period house/dolls etc...as I'm currently thinking of working on one from this era myself. 🌸
I'm so glad you enjoyed this episode. The Tudor house was beautiful. :)
Love the tour
Thank you.
I really enjoyed this video, thank you so much for sharing, what an interesting lady her little dogs were sweet too, miniatures and dogs what more could we want😊x
That's so true, Miniatures & Dogs, what more could we want! :)
Wow...loved the tour :)
Thanks Martha, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
What an amazing shop. I don’t know how you got out of there without another couple of houses for yourself 😂
It was a struggle! :)
I wonder how many times you thought " I could do so much with that" 🤣
Probably every time I looked at one! :)
@@JulieWarren 🤣🤣🤣
What were the light switches in the roof used for only I've got them and I e never found what to use them on cos they r big some lovely houses though
I was wondering that too.
I'm pretty sure they're used for turning the lights on and off in the individual rooms. Nowadays, you can buy remote controls to do that. They were lovely though, weren't they!
Not a hobby I would enjoy, ( too much “stuff “😁) , but it WAS lovely to see this pleasant lady, enjoying her hobby so much. Time well spent 👍🏻
Thank you.
So fun. Really nice to see these old, old houses. And I loved the owner herself. Is she Michal Morse? I bought one of the books while you were showing us around--well, secondhand anyway. Thanks!
Yes, It's Michal Morse. She is such a lovely lady, with so many stories to tell. :)
Julie, I have a few questions for you.
How many dolls houses do you have? Do you renovate the same house again & again or are they additional houses? What do you do with the completed houses?
