I am missing one small corner of the instructions. I believe the model is about 15 years old - my mother-in-law bought it and never assembled it before her death. One small corner of the instruction sheet torn off, and rather than guess about the instructions I thought it best to see if anyone...

Right now the plan is to do my flooring on cardstock or something like that, and to run the tape for the first floor ceiling fixtures on the second floor, then cover it with the flooring which will be fixed down in a semi-permanant method. I got to thinking...instead of running the wiring on the...

One thing I don't like, is when you look into the rooms of the dollhouse, at the edges of the room dividers and floors is seeing the layers, of paint, wallpaper, flooring etc. On some pictures I've seen, it's painted white, which looks nice. But I was wondering if anyone ever put moulding along...

Just wanted to share. I primed and painted the body of the house tonight. Kind of a pain to do with my wrist in a cast, but definitely doable. The house walls are "Hazy Green" and the gable I mixed my own color by adding white to it, to make a pale green. I have a very dark green, but I didn't...

Ok, I just got the electrical starter kit (now if only the rest of the supplies would arrive, then I can get started!). I know I have to plan for all outlets and light fixtures now, and that's no problem. But, the kit doesn't come with the larger brads for the outlets, nor does it come with...

I'm getting ready to place an order for building components for the small "practice" dollhouse I'm building. I want to use moulding along the floor and ceiling, and vertically in the corners. But where the corner molding joins the baseboard and crown moulding, I think it will look funny. How do...

If you don't have access to power tools . . . Instead of getting a large sheet that you would have to cut multiple times to come up with the correct widths, buy a few pcs. cut to the width and then you would only have to cut the lengths. The precut Midwest lumber Basswood strips range in price...

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...

How do you simulate whitewash? Watered down white paint? Cathy Weeks

Hi, can anyone tell me where I might find miniature bowties? I saw some silverware for a wedding party and the bride's group had little veils on the forks, knives, and spoons, and the groom's group had tiny black bowties on the silverware. I have not been able to find the bowties anywhere. ...

My mom got her Wooten desks written up in the March issue of Dollhouse Miniatures! I am proud to say that not only did I get her started in miniatures a million years ago, but I'm also the one who got her going on the desks. I have the dogwood desk (the light colored one in the photo), and have...

A housepainter used a spray primer when we hired him to paint the trim on our (full-sized) house. It was quick and easy (don't remember the brand). Has anyone used it on a dollhouse? And what were their results? Cathy Weeks

Hi all, I'm looking for some book recommendations. 1. What are the best books for building minis? I'm interested in recreating certain pieces of my parents antiques, so I'm interested in more overall how-tos rather than plans and specific projects. Are the "Cabinet Maker" guides good? Is there...

I plan to replace the windows on the front of the Thornhill with working mullioned windows. But the only ones I've found are from Lawbre - at a cost of $20 a pop. Are there any that are cheaper? I've found working windows (non mullioned) and I've found mullioned windows (non working). But...
