"Heating" for small victorian cottage? by
Cathy Weeks
As soon as it arrives, I'm building the RGT Victorian Jr. Out of
curiosity, how would such a small cottage have been heated?
Fireplace? Wood stove? Etc?
How were the bigger victorians heated? My dollhouse was destroyed in
a fire last fall (it was assembled and finished, but not furnished)...

I broke the rules by
Millie
I guess I broke the rules of this group by using the "for Sale" term,
it was never my intention to cause a problem, I only wanted to offer
some of my 66 years worth of expertise to someone who wanted it.
SPAM is something I never associated with myself until now, I have
given many free hours of my...

How do you do cane-bottomed chairs in mini? by
Cathy Weeks
One of the projects I'm playing with is recreating my parent's antique
dining-room table. It had rose-backed chairs that went with it, and
the seat bottom was cane-bottomed. How do you do that in miniature?

Thrift Shop images by
Herb
We built a little store front as a thrift shop -
this gives us a place to put all kinds of things that otherwise might
not find an immediate home, including cannisters with broken or no lids,
odd household decorative pieces, and on and on.
It also serves as a place to go to find things for other...

Working mullioned windows by
Cathy Weeks
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

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...

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?

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

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
