I hit the sale table at my local dollhouse store and found some treasures.
I have lots of projects planned like abandoned miniatures, Dollar Store furniture makeovers, room boxes, dioramas and Dollhouse Miniature decor, furniture and accessories in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

Thanks for the shared resources and ideas.b
You're welcome :)
Wow,the bed is beautiful! Love those glass doors. So many cool items, love the bathroom set too.
Thank you 🤗
Yes, they actually have floor to ceiling windows, the bottom of them is a kick plate that go out to a small porch usually on a upper floor. Check out some of the old plantation houses you will see them and how they were used. You got a pretty great haul too. Have a great day
Thanks for the info! That sounds lovely
I love earth and tree special sales. My daughter and l used to go to them twice a year. Carrie and Janine are awesome.
Yes, it's the best place ever! I should make a video tour of the store. It's amazing
Such a great haul. I like the embossed paper on the right side for a personal reason- my father had a restaurant in an 1869 building with that type of tin ceiling. It had white gloss paint.
That's awesome :) Thanks for sharing.
I think depending on what you want to use it. As to what side you use for the look you want.
What a nice haul! Wish there was a real dollhouse store near me. Just the thoughts of walking around and seeing all the goodies....
I totally hear you! Earth & Tree is incredible. I spent 4.5 hours the first time walking around. I only left because they were closing 😂 There's so much to see.
Super haul! I'm actually a little envious! We don't even have dollhouse stores in Vermont. No club for dollhouse miniaturists, either...😥
I got these items in Amherst, NH. Maybe you should take a trip to Earth & Tree Miniature Shop!
Great stuff!! I wish I had a local dollhouse store
I'm really fortunate. My local dollhouse store is 3,000 SQ ft and filled to the brim with vintage miniatures, new miniatures, dollhouse, room boxes, kits, any building supply you could ever want, wallpaper, flooring and more. It's amazing.
@@queencityminis I think I saw a video with a tour there. Do they have classes too, or you can work on things there?
Golfer's lead works great for faux stained glass. It cuts super easy to get it to mini size. I did a window for my beacon hill attic dollhouse
I just Googled it. That's a great tip! Thank you. I didn't know such a thing exists since I don't play golf.
@@queencityminis i didn't either. I watched a video about 9 years ago and thought I'd try it. Found the stuff at academy sports believe it or not. Lol. I think it's called golfers lead, but I don't know if it's really lead
Score! You got some great finds. I love the bed with the dollhouse headboard. That is adorable. I can’t wait to see you make little furniture for it. I have never seen window frames go all the way to floor. I love it though. I couldn’t really tell about the tin ceiling tiles, which side was better. Whichever side you pick will work for me, since you are seeing it in real life. Much love to you!
After finishing the farmhouse, I didn't think I'd be making 1:144 scale furniture again for a little while but that headboard NEEDS furniture 😆
Maybe I'll make a poll and ask my viewers what they think about the tile. The "right" side has the pattern raised and sticking out. The wrong side has an embossed pattern.
@@queencityminis I can’t imagine making something so tiny. Yes, do a poll!
Im blown away by all the absolute bargains you scored! Well done Shyra! You mentioned plans to build a castle, as well as an English style pub room box one day, are they still part of your future plans?
Building a cardboard castle is a Patreon project for Patrons of Bentley House Minis. Some of the Patrons are working on theirs and then Ara posts updates. Ara has her own cardboard castle she works on during live streams. I wanted to get in on the fun, but I've been too busy. Maybe someday.
I would love to make an English pub someday. Maybe that's what I should do with my Tudor dollhouse. I could make a bar downstairs and living quarters upstairs!
I live in an home from 1849. There is window trim that goes from the window top to the floor. The area under the window has nice moulding and is painted the same as the frame.
That's such a cool feature! I wonder what the function is or if it's just for looks.
Though I can’t be a hundred percent sure I think it has to do with the construction of the house. Once the house framing was done, the exterior was covered in clapboard. The interior was lathe and plaster. Now, as the house heats up, condensation forms on the windows and trickles down the panes. If there was lathe and plaster under the windows it would soon be ruined. By putting wood underneath and painting it, the base of the window holds up better over the years. Lathe and plaster was also often wallpapered over and the paper would also have been ruined. I hope this all makes sense.
Awesome haul!! I love a bargain, and WOW did you get bargains! Well done :) I haven't been to earth n tree in a year, so I'll go on their website and take a look :D I love kits ~ I have tons of them ~ can't wait to see what you do with yours! I like the tin ceiling either way ~both look good. Love the Tudor windows. And no, I've never seen window trim that goes all the way to the floor... very interesting. I also love the Victorian fireplace and "glass" doors.
I also have a ton of kits! So much fun. I'm thinking of making a really rustic antique looking kitchen. I'll use the tin ceiling there.
@@queencityminis Oooh like from what era? The 30s? Or way before? I also really like the bed with the dollhouse headboard fyi
Omgosh!! I'm getting ready to do a video of my haul soon..I'm so excited🥰
That's awesome! Have fun with it :)
What a great haul! The paperclip was my absolute favorite. Sounds like you have some fun stuff coming up :)
😆 Can't go wrong with a bonus paperclip.
For stained glass, there used to be a product called Gallery Glass, it was for life size decorations but the bottles of color were around the same size as a bottle of acrylic paint, an ounce or two. You used the "leading" stuff to follow a design, let it dry, and then fill in with the colors. If it was a solid design, you could just peel the whole thing off the window when done, or put in another window. I used it to make ornaments one year, using the glass balls you get at the craft store. For a mini scale you might need to put it into a bottle with a finer tip. There are probably other brands. You could lay down flat color, or put texture in it like make little swirls and stuff, the clear color with texture would be good for privacy in a bathroom, that sort of thing. I think you could probably mimic that with hot glue though
I completely forgot but I bought a tube of Pebeo Cerneo Relief liner. It's very similar to gallery glass. It's quite thick so it's hard to make fine lines with it. I bought it make details on furniture and frames to look like carved wood. It may work for leaded glass but I really like the metallic stuff. Maybe aluminum tape would work.
@@queencityminis ooohhhhhh, or when you said metallic it made me think of the gold leaf stuff, where you put down sticky stuff and put gold leaf on it. Maybe there are other colors of leaf? Or, embossing powder where you get a raised result with a heat gun and a massive array of colors . You can use clear embossing ink, or colored ink. you could use a rubber stamp for a pattern. You know, I saw a video where someone made a stained glass lamp shade with clear plastic, and they got little bit of lace, painted it black, and put that on the shade. Then used tiny dots of nail polish for the color. They had used the in between part of a lace pattern, where it was sort of uniform bubbles, not a flower or butterfly or heart pattern. They made it look like flowers, with a yellow center, surrounded by red cells, occasional green for leaves. You'd never know it was lace
You got a nice bunch of goodies. I liked your hospital diorama. Thanks for sharing.😊👍🏻
Thank you so much!
Plaid makes a paint called "Gallery Glass" and it comes in all colors. I am testing it out for my dollhouse I'm building and I am determined to do stained glass windows. the "leading" is fairly easy to work. I transferred the leading into a smaller bottle that uses a luer lock syringe tip and can easily control the flow so it looks to scale.
That sounds great! I remember seeing Bentley House Minis use that product but she had a really old bottle. The tip was quite big. A smaller bottle sounds brilliant.
Fake led comes in a tube for easy use, air dries, can be painted with bulb paints in the middle
I'll keep an eye out for that
Are you in NH? I’m in Pelham. I’m obsessed with your videos 😊
Maybe 😏
@@queencityminis oh wait. Queen City. Hahaha, I’m so dumb. 🤦🏽♀️ if you’d ever like to craft with a crafty old lady, I’m trying to renovate a dollhouse and fix a pile of broken dollhouse furniture and I’m struggling big time 😂
