It’s so comfy and cozy. Marva and Sterling will never want to leave! 😂
Lololol 😂! I KNOW RIGHT!!!😍 THAT IS THE INTENT! But they will eventually have to move due to the next project 😃😅🤭❤️
Love how you finished the bed linens. Cozy is the perfect description of this darling room.
Thanks so much! 😊 I'm Really happy with ti too! i hope Sterling and Marva like it! LOOLOLOL!!
I love your channel, Miss Gretchen. I love your creativity and imagination, and the fact that you make so much of your art yourself, not depending on 3d printers and laser cutters. It’s wonderful. Thank you so much for inspiring me with my own minis.
Agreed!! It's so hard to find good miniature videos where the maker is using a 3D printer or Cricut or any number of expensive gadgets! They're wonderful tools but to a certain extent you may as well be buying premade miniatures, it feels like cheating. Maybe that's just me. But Gretchen's videos are always authentic feeling & offer so much advice & creativity & heart. I'm always super stoked when a Gretchen video pops up in my feed :)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate this kind of feedback! I always think about the fact that there have been "Miniaturists" around since the beginning of time creating by hand, without machinery. I even consider people in other parts of the world now, creating amazing miniatures with really raw materials and limited resources! That always amazes me because I believe being a miniaturist comes from your Heart not your tools! I guess I NEVER want to get to a place where I am dependent on a machine to create. I guess I'm kinda of old fashioned. Thank you again for letting me know you appreciate my style of creating miniatures. Thank you for being here your presence means so much!
WOW! This comment really touches me on another level! I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying my content and my style of creating! I mentioned in another comment that miniaturists have always existed and they were able to create amazing things! Although the new technology allows for alot of different type of creativity, but i never want to become dependent on that. Like how we used to have to remember everyone phone numbers but now NO ONE knows phone numbers by memory any more because of cell phones. LOLOLOL!!! I believe there is a different Beauty in handmade OOAK miniatures, they are a little bit more precious and rare. I truly appreciate this comment,it you have been following me any amount of time you already know i'm typing this with "watery eyes"....Thank you again i needed this feedback.
Thank you so so much for making these videos & sharing your craft with us all! & your warmth comes through so much - even the way you call your viewers 'dolls'. It's one of life's best pleasures being part of your audience. Thank you for letting us learn from you & letting us enjoy engaging in the process of handmade works with you. xx 💛💛💛
What fun playing with everything and working out what other details to add or take away and fine tuning the room! Don't ever lose the playfulness Gretchen 🧡
Thank you Nessie! I can't The Heart of My Creativity is in My Playfulness!
I always like to see you randomly throw things together, and they come out soo cute!🤣👏🏾
I would definitely love a tutorial on that blanket chest! The room looks great, in fact inviting . . . in fact, I feel like I'd like to crawl into that comfy looking bed right about now!
Hello DEAR FRIEND! THANK YOU!💖 FOR SUCH A SWEET COMMENT! ALSO, I received your VERY Lovely and timely package! It Was So thoughtful and KIND of You to Think of Me! It means So MUCH!🥹💖Do you mind if I show the unbox on the channel? LET me Know ☺️ If no I understand! EITHER way THANK YOU FROM MY ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!
Also, I have to tell you my early years we almost entirely trash to treasure literally making miniatures from scraps and remnants so I literally feel most natural doing those types of projects!😀☺️😅
Right? I especially love the combinations of fabrics/paper patterns. You have an amazing eye, the mismatch look isn't always easy to pull off but you make it look effortless & natural. I LOVE the fabrics you chose on the bed. The striped fabric really makes the florals pop while staying true to the sense of the place.
Thank you Klaird!!! 😊💖 It's literally the most natural way for me! No instructions, just a whole bunch Random scraps and free time!
I love how you dressed the room,the bed looks lovely and I love the way you always make it look like it is lived in.Some dolls houses are so perfect they don’t look real.Thank you for sharing your talents with us,I have learnt so much.
It really does look so cozy! The little touches bring so much life and warmth to the room. 🥰 The shelf and mirror are very practical for Marva and Sterling, and give the opportunity for a little more light and bling in the room. Is anything more adorable than tiny perfume bottles? 😊 Marva and Sterling are going to really enjoy their stay!
YES I Truly love details because they add personality 😀! DETAILS tell you who the Dolls are! 💖YES l do believe they will Love THEIR new ROOM and THEIR NEW LIFE!!💖
I’ve bought every calendar the dollar stores had! Usually the back has every months pictures…I use those for pics in my doll house, making different frames! I also use the full pic for a wall mural! I buy men’s ties at the thrift store, that have small patterns, for 1/12th scale houses & make curtains! I have probably 50ties, taken apart, just need to cut for windows, iron, glue, hem, etc! I will one day have a curtain for any decor you could ever imagine!! 😉👍
LOL
I love it! Thank you for sharing your great ideas!
Very good ideas!💜💜💜
Ties are a great source of fabric, there's a lot more fabric than you'd think there would be in a tie, , I got some old silk ones for next to nothing from a second hand shop, it's a good place to look as they usually have lots of them in all sorts of colours and fabrics and they're cheap too 😊
WHAT AN EXCELLENT RESOURCE!!!!😀 I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF CALENDARS! THAT IS A GREAT HACK!!!😀 I've used magazines, real photos, paper patterns and even stamps! But I never thought of CALENDARS! That's BRILLIANT 😀!!!!❤️Thank you for sharing and watching!
THANK YOU MARY! I appreciate your feedback 😃❤️💖❤️
I love all the different fabrics because it looks like well-used bedding that has been around awhile and nothing really matches anymore.
Yes that is exactly the look i was going for! Cozy and well used!
I love all the different fabric & wallpaper designs together! Such a perfect rooming house bedroom! ❤
Thank You! I LOVE mixing the patterns and prints! Growing up my Mother Loved simple solid colors like Beige, Tan and Taupe😅! This room would be too busy for Mom!❤️
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665😂 I feel you! Growing up, my parents could never get over my love of little tiny floral prints! My mother hired interior decorators and loved pastels, but I loved patchwork, and all manner of crazy and eccentric patterns! 😆
Yes, a dollhouse is never done! I hope this one keeps going forever, it's so wonderful thank you for sharing it
I'm So Glad you are enjoying this! Even when i start another project (Dollhouse) the story inside this Dollhouse will never end! LOLOL!! I appreciate your feedback and you for watching!
You do such a wonderful job, making your story up as you go along and of what and why you do what you do. I really enjoy your videos, I’m learning more about miniatures each time I watch you, thank you.🤗
Thank you so much Dianne! I really appreciate your feedback!!!
Very cute Gretchen. I love how the little pictures over the bed go so well with the wall paper.
I think so too, much better that. The green one withe house

THANK YOU CHERYL 😊💖
I love the details. I want to shrink down and visit! You teach me something new every video and I appreciate you so much!

I agree❤
Thank You RACHAEL! THAT IS SO ENCOURAGING 😊❤️💖❤️
This is so cute! I love the way you just mix and match your parents in fabrics! And you do such an amazing job putting the whole room together.
Thank you so much! This is my Absolute favorite part! To use all the individual pieces collectively to create a feeling or mood....to set the stage for My Dolls lives!
Everything looks wonderful. So authentic and lived in
Thank You ERIN!!! 😊💖

Thank You Diane ☺️! That is EXACTLY the Feeling I WANTED you to FEEL! To me the Details add depth and personality to the scene! It tells you who the residents are as individuals!😃💖❤️💖 Thank you for being here Diane I appreciate your feedback!
Inspiring as always! Every video of yours teaches me to see the creative possibilities around me.
Yes Christie! There are possibilities for miniatures all around us! You just have to TRAIN your Eyes to SEE them!
Looks so warm and inviting! Do you have a low basket you could put under the highboy to store an extra blanket, perhaps? Seeing those darling window shades again …❤️. Have a good week ahead, Kathleen
Great idea Kathleen! I do have some items I will be putting under there, but they are apart of an upcoming video, so i couldn't put them in yet! LOLOLOL! By the way..... You are a GEM!!!

🥰@@littlegretchensworkshop7665
Beautiful!!!
Thank you!!
Miss Gretchen you’d be so proud of me. I took a first ever visit to Dollar Tree-the hype is real-and purchased floral foam to make a mattress that could have indents around the hip and buttocks area from years of use. 🤭 ❤️
GOOD GURL!! OMGOONESS! JORI THAT is going to LOOK GREAT!!! DIPPED MATTRESSES!!!! I LOVE IT! When you do it you have ti email me and show me pictures!!! That sounds like such fun!!! Keep me posted!!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I totally will send a picture! ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for the support that it’s a good idea! I’m learning from the best. 💞💫 Yourself and Queen City are wonderful, wonderful teachers!

Thank You! I appreciate that! Because Welcoming and Warm was My Vision!😀 I'm Glad you are getting ideas for your project! My Purpose is to inspire You 💖 Thank You for watching!!
😮Omgosh!! Lil' Gretchen's Workshop!!😍🫶🏽 Such a good video, so in love!!! ❤️ 🥰 The pink pictures were definitely a better idea 😉 and the little house pic looks perfect in the hall.. 🤗 U FOUND A TIE RACK!!! LOVE IT!!! I'm going to make another for the bedroom, and this just makes me so excited and ready to get in there!!! AND THE BROOM😂 LOVED THIS SO MUCH!! So much to say, "Oh yes, please do a video on the chest❤😊 This was so awesome..thank you for sharing!!! See this is why it's hard for me to do multiple projects, because every time I walk away from the house and see a video like this, it makes me anxious to get back.🤗❤❤
Thank you Jolene! this has been so much FUN! I can do small multiple projects but when doing a room, i have to focus on choosing decor or creating accessories this is the actual arrangement of the items in the room. THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART!!! I still to make some of those lovely stocking you made! LOLOLOL!!! Thank you for watching, You are such a Sweet DOLL and thank you for being MY TINY FRIEND!!!
@littlegretchensworkshop7665 It's a Pleasure Being Tiny Friends.🥰🫶🏽 I am the same way, as long as it's smaller projects outside of the house I can multi task, but when it comes to a room, that is multiple projects in one! This was one of the best!🥰❤️
Love it..!! ❤
Thank you so much I appreciate you for allowing me to share 😊💖!!!
I love the layered bed linens, and I gasped when you showed the bedspread fabric!! I used that exact fabric in the mid eighties for curtains for my sunroom!! I still have a piece or two in my scrap bin!!😁❤️
Oh wow! That is So COOL! I got that fabric from the Ann arbor Miniatures Show in May this year. A vendor had lots of vintage mini fabric bolts! I bought them ALL 🤭😂😅😍Thank you for sharing that! And for watching ❤️
Ooo I missed this one! (I unglued myself from my phone for one day lol). Everything is so sweet and has so much life in it. I feel like I know Merva already. Even her name is funny and old fashioned 🥹. It’s just so immersive!❤❤❤
That is Exactly what I want! To make you feel who they are!! I Love OLD names, it's like the names tell you who they Are!💖😃
Simple and beautiful ❤️ 14:10
Thanks Barb!!!!
I love the top fabric. I love a floral stripe. The bed came out so nice. 😊 The whole room looks cozy.
Thank you l'm Glad you like it! 😊💖
Love it just gorgeous ❤😊
😃💖 THANKS SUZANNE!!!!
Wow!! 1st time watching how clever you are its amazing i love it thank you 😊
Thank you! 😊 l appreciate you for watching ❤️
I just love your imagination to your workshop. I’m so glad I found your channel. I love creating too, but I don’t post mines. Keep up the good work! 💕
Thank You!! I'm so glad you are enjoying this! Thank You for watching ❤️😊❤️
Looks great Gretchen, the fun is def8ntiely in the the dressing of the house and rooms and adding all those extras. 😊
I think so too! I AM HAVING SO SUCH A GREAT TIME SHARING THIS PART! Thank you for watching ❤️☺️
I saw a woman make a bedspread as if making a pillow case
She then put a sheet of aluminum foil inside and closed it up. She was then able to shape it anyway she wanted and it kept it's place. Looked great!
Sounds familiar 😁😁💜💜💜
LOLOLOL!!!
HI Mary! Yes I tried that method a few videos back. The Aluminum foil did not give me the draped feeling I was trying to achieve. "Glue and water solution" are my go to for bedding and curtains, but i do plan to try the spray starch method soon. Thank you for you suggestion and I appreciate your feedback!
I am a complete sucker for a beautifully dressed and inviting bed in mini or real life. I LOVE this stripe floral. I tried to book a stay at the rooming house on air b&b but couldn't find availability. 😕 I love the details like the mirror and even the hook on the door. The pictures are perfect! ❤
LoL 😆😂 YES I KNOW! I GET INQUIRIES FOR BOOKING ALL THE TIME! THERE IS A WAITING LIST🤭❤️ I LOVE A COZY BEDROOM TOO! I HAVE A FEW MORE THINGS TO ADD BEFORE I CAN LEAVE THIS ROOM ALONE!!!!😆😂THANK YOU FOR WATCHING ❤️
LOVE the bedding! So comfy and cozy. Is there room for a washstand? What a lovely Monday. Thanks!
Thank you I really like the Bedding too! ....RICHARD!??? What is going on??? Have you been peeking over my shoulder?? They say GREAT MINDS THINK alike so maybe that's IT!!LOLOLOLOL!!!
how very cozy Darling room
Thank you Christine! i appreciate you for watching!
This is so so gorgeous & well done! I love the details, putting a plant (or something) on top of the tall dresser was a wonderful idea - maybe one of the bags might go underneath? Perhaps with a little bit of clothing sneaking out of the top? I love how lived in this room is starting to look, it really feels like a real place. Your videos are always such a joy. Aroha nui, from Aotearoa (NZ) xx
Thank you so much! I'm having so much Fun! I do have other items to put in the room. I Love Your suggestions, I have a hat box and I want to make some shoes to go under and some socks or stockings hanging from the drawers..... trying to fit those videos in🤣, I have more videos in my mind than days left in the Year 🤭😅🤣! Thank you for watching ❤️
I call my dollhouse “The Never ending Dollhouse”
That's right! It's NEVER Finished!!!
It came out lovely. I’m laughing because I can’t help myself I’m a match color kind of girl. I have to say it really looks nice and realistic.💕💕💕I love the green bag on the chest . It looks so cute I love the little shelf and the hook on the door. It’s all in the details.💕💕💕💕
Thank you Grace! 😊LOLOL!! There is nothing wrong with matching colors! We are just all different and that's what makes this so wonderful! Beauty and Creativity can be expressed lots of different ways! Growing up my mom insisted if it didn't MATCH that it was "wrong, ugly or tacky"....but that's not what I saw....I saw the harmony in the colors, patterns , prints and textures. I saw their similarities more than their differences. So I'm sure your MATCHED FABRICS Are BEAUTIFUL GRACE! Thank you for being here!
Maybe open a highboy drawer just a tad and have something slightly hanging out.
Good idea!💜💜💜
Lololol 🤣😂🤣 Are you reading my mind? I literally just did that in an upcoming video on a dressser! For the Highboy I wanted make socks or stockings, so that's an upcoming video 😃! I Love it when You Dolls See what I See 🤩!!! I appreciate your feedback 😃!
I just love your videos! You make me want to visit you one of these days so we can play lol
YES ELIZABETH!!!! That WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN , WOULDN'T IT!!!?😀 I used to a have 1 friend that understood my love for Dolls and Dollhouses and she would visit sometimes and to play.❤️😀❤️THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
Yes! I would LOVE just a great big dollhouse party where we could all craft and play! 🥰 Michigan is a long way away, though. 😕
It is so beautiful! I really do feel as if I were in a rooming house. Great job.❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊I'm really Glad you like!
You are so welcome
I use spray starch instead of glue and water.. it's washable so you can reuse the fabric... But fabric gets pretty stiff... Works great for curtains...
Hey LISA! I literally was just thinking about a fabric project on my list that I want to try the starch method on. Although I have no intention or undoing or washing these items I want to see the difference in results and ease of use! Thank you for the reminder ❤️😊❤️
That bkanket chest you could put a cushion on top and it could become a seat. If you needed more space and to get the chair out.
Loojs very cozy
For some reason while watching this, I suddenly wondered what would happen if you did Feng Shui on it.
Theres a guy here who shows it on his channel all the time and i wondered what he'd di with a miniature example.
.and if after he rearranged stuff, would it be more pleasing to the eye
He should get a room box to use for demonstration
Thank you for the suggestion!
It looks lovely! Did you add the "gem" to the head of the bed? If so, is it a piece of old broken jewelry? I really like the effect!
Yes and yes! This Bed is very old! I stuck it because I thought the bed looked plain back then! And then I could not remove it! Lol! i really think it is Cute now! Thank you for confirmation and for watching!!
I love the way everything turned out! I want to know more about the light that really turns on:). Where do I find one?
Hi LAURA! My Dollhouses do have electricity, so I buy LED Battery dollhouse lights. I will put link in description. Thank you for reminding me 😊❤️
Correction: My Dollhouses "DON'T" have electricity😄😍
I just added links in the description for some LED BATTERY LIGHTS.
I’m caught by that pendent on the headboard. I have a bunch of buttons I need to did through to see if it looks good on project too. I hope I can ask you but once I really start working on the inside of my house is it better to concentrate room by room
I used to work all over but you just end up with a lot of unfinished rooms and projects and quite a bit of frustration like, you don't see progress as much. When you go room by room, to me it's satisfying to see a completed room even if the rest of the house is raw. It also gives the Dolls somewhere SAFE to be while you are working!😊❤️❤️❤️❤️
Also glad you liked the pendant in the headboard 😀 I did that YEARS AGO!🤭Not sure what glue I used but I couldn't remove it! So now it is a permanent part of the design 😄😍
I love your patterned green bag. Did you make that one. ❤
Yes Donna I did! 😊That was one of my 1st creations of the BAGS BOXES and LUGGAGE series, Fun very easy project!
LOL! Your comments about the Rub N Buff got me laughing out loud. When I was a kid, back in the late 60s or maybe it was early 70s, my Mom and I discovered Rub-N-Buff… I don’t need to explain! 😆😆😆!!! EVERYTHING got gilded! We just could N O T stop! 🫣🤗😆. To this very day if I get started I can’t stop… I always notice “I still have some on my finger” and off I go….
HI RAVEN!!!! LOLOLOL!!! So you understand! Like what is it!!? If there is a dab left i just have a compulsion to touch something else!! I have a strong tendency to like shiny things anyway so that does not help!!! LOLOLOLL!!! Thank you for letting me know that you understand what i mean!!! LOLOLOLOL! i appreciate you for being here and for watching!!!
