Long ago, a friend gave me three pieces of gorgeous miniature dining room furniture that were black, sort of like Chinese lacquer, with an Oriental design painted on them in several colors. They were exquisite. I think she bought them at Horchow or Gump's. Definitely not toys. I would love...

Is Tacky glue available locally? Where would I buy it? Cathy Weeks

Ok, I thought I'd give you a bit of background now that many of you have answered my zillions of questions. :-) My mother went to dental school when I was 9 years old, and the summer I was 10 (1979) she had to spend that summer in school. It was our first summer that she wasn't going to be...

Hi, does anyone know of a website or book (or SOMETHING) that describes in detail (for DUMMIES like me - hehehe) how to wire a dollhouse? I have never attempted this and would like to read up on it before jumping in. Seriously guys, I don't even know what eyelets and brads are, let alone what to...

I make these if you want some, email me for prices, they ship in an envelope. http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pebblepuppie/album?.dir=/My+Photos&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pebblepuppie/my_photos Millie

Has anyone ever built a dollhouse for a boy? Are the cabins more for boys? How were they decorated? Cathy Weeks

Not meant as a negative comment. This forum used to be busy so I assume you've all moved somewhere. Can someone tell where? I'm building a dollhouse and can't find an appropriate community to share. cheers Glen

I plan to use vinyl floor tiles as roofing for my tudor house. Does anyone know if I can paint over them, and if so what sort of paint. TIA JohnA

I'm not a store....sadly just cutting down on my 'stash' http://cgi6.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=beadlady333&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50

could you possibly check http://www.allthingsmini.com/forum/index.php?s=41fd1f4036b83319a7bd73eba7ee9 ad0&act=ST&f=28&t=1084 and make comment? Really hard to get information for dollhouses. cheers Glen

Anyone fortunate enough to receive any miniatures-related gifts this year? Alas, I did not (though there were some other hobby gifts) but I'd be interested in hearing if others did. :) Dawn

http://www.weeksfamily.net/dollhouse/mosaic.html So...do you think I should grout the floor or leave it alone? I think it's pretty as it is, but grouting would be more realistic, and would give it a more finished look. I can't decide. Cathy Weeks

The first coffee stirrer floor is done. Stained, polyurethaned, etc. Looks great. Only problem...it's fairly warped in places, despite being flattened by books at various points, and the pushpins that held it flat while being polyurethaned. I thought about just weighing it down for a week or so,...

I get a wooden ship model kit catalog from a company called Model Expo (www.modelexpo.com). They have a large variety of scale wood dowels, woods strips, wood sheets, various metal tubing and rods, etc. They have a decorative metal fittings that would work for picture frames, mirrors, etc. They...

If a quite reader has any voice, I think that would be a good addition. Patrick (a man who would have a red rear if he rode naked on a Harley) You know that I had to say something also? (Big Grin) Dawn wrote in message ... Well....

debbie, Tom Berkner has very nice, easy-to-follow thatching instructions on the Earth & Tree website, www.dollhouse-miniatures.com.

This dollhouse was a Christmas gift in I believe 1964 so the dollhouse was manufactured on or around then. Does anyone know who made this, what it is called, etc.? I would love to find one today and buy it. I have looked extensively on EBay and elsewhere with no luck....

Hello, I recently built a dollhouse,(I suppose "action figure adventure structure" would be more appropriate),for my son. It's nothing spectacular but it is a little different than what you're used to seeing. Just click on the link below. Enjoy, Jim http://community.webtv.net/worldsfair3940/doc1

Can anyone direct me to a good site where I can learn how to make acurate 1" scale plants?

Hello all, My wife and I are new to the dollhouse craft. She's been into crafts for a while but hasn't found one that she's settled on. I suggested she try making a dollhouse since she is a perfectionist type and will spend a lot of time on the details. We ordered a kit to start with, ie, the...
