I love to recreate miniature versions of my favorite things. I've been at it long enough that I'm now remodeling my childhood dollhouse for the next generation to enjoy! If you like dollhouse decorating and mini DIY projects, I hope you'll follow along!

While I share tips, tricks, and the occasional tutorial, none of my material should be taken as professional advice. Please exercise caution and good sense when deciding whether to use my channel to inspire your own projects!

Wallpapering a #dollhouse - Using DIY Peel and Stick #mini wallpaper in a gabled room
I love my childhood dollhouse. I love it so much I'm refurbishing it. I love the details, the gingerbread trim, the gorgeous porch...
But wallpapering those gabled rooms is....a challenge.
Thankfully, after 25 years of fighting with these tricky little corners, I have a solution! Using tissue paper to make an exact template of all the little pitched areas, I can trim my wallpaper beforehand to fit precisely where I need it! In this video, I'll take you step-by-step to show how you can wallpaper a gabled dollhouse room with no gaps or overlaps!

Making a Teeny Tiny Mouse Elevator with a Teacup! Christmas Mouse House Week 4
Просмотров 5612 часов назад
At the very beginning of the cartoon Twas the Night Before Christmas, we see this cute little postmouse hopping on a teacup elevator to go deliver mail to the mouse family. How cute is that?! Obviously, a teacup mouse elevator had to be part of my Christmas mouse house. Before I installed the floors, I had to get our #miniature elevator up and running. Just like the Borrowers, I'm trying to con...

Wiring Miniature Front Porch Lights on a Remodeled Dollhouse
Просмотров 375 месяцев назад
If this wasn't a dollhouse renovation, I might have left off the carriage lights by the front door. With every room lit up on the inside, it really doesn't make much of a difference if there are miniature porch lights or not! However, the original builder had tried (and failed) to install miniature carriage lights. MDF siding is not super forgiving, so I wasn't able to patch the holes by the fr...

It's Electric! Wiring a Remodeled Dollhouse
Просмотров 675 месяцев назад
Back in 2000, when this dollhouse was originally built, I added electricity using the Cir-Kit Concepts tape wire kit. Like the rest of the dollhouse structure, I lost some bits and pieces of the original wiring set up over the years. While remodeling, I decided to add electricity by reconnecting the existing tape wire and running new tape wire through the third-floor addition. These are the pro...

I love how easy it is to use up leftovers from full-size projects on #miniaturecrafts! After replacing several peel-and-stick vinyl tiles on my porch, I had just enough scraps to create mini flooring for my dollhouse. The tiles I have are the Ash Blended Slate peel-and-stick tiles from the @HomeDepot. www.homedepot.com/p/206403324 I love the way they look on my full size porch, and the peel-and...
