Instructions for Artply Franklin dollhouse by
Debbie G
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...

Another wiring, flooring, and roofing question by
Cathy Weeks
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...

Covering the edges of rooms? by
Cathy Weeks
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...

Started the cottage by
Cathy Weeks
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...

Adding to the electrical after the fact? by
Cathy Weeks
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...

buying lumber for an external chimney by
patrick
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...

An after-the fact introduction by
Cathy Weeks
Ok,
I thought I'd give you a bit of background now that many of you have

first summer that she wasn't going to be...

Mini bowties by

Hi, can anyone tell me where I might find miniature bowties? I saw some

spray primer by
Cathy Weeks
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?

Book recommendations by
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...

Working mullioned windows by

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

I've found working windows (non mullioned) and I've found mullioned
