I'm so obsessed with the 15 room dollhouse. The finished piece should end up in a museum like Bentley House Mini's Addams Family Dollhouse and the Captain's Quarters.
Whitney! I love how your imagination works! The painting of the wardrobe to reflect Miss Salt’s outfit is just genius! It’s great to “see you back.” I had no idea you were out with surgery. I don’t do Instagram or Facebook, so maybe that’s how I missed it. I’m so glad you’re up and about and creating! 💙💙. My husband is at the end of his post back surgery recovery ….it’s all quite the process, isn’t it? Thankfully, he’s doing well too. I can’t wait for your future installments! Oh, I also wanted to mention (as a retired children’s librarian who adores Dahl’s books - another creative genius!) - in case you don’t know, Roald Dahl’s childhood was just beyond terrible! He was in English boarding school and was tormented, abused, etc. His autobiography details this horrible, horrible aspect of his life. I think his imagination had to have come from his loneliness and also being terrorized - it came through as his imaginative private escape and imaginative revenge as well. We just never fully know what life has been or is for others. All the most reason to be kind and thoughtful - as you are on your channel! 💙 Enjoy the rest of the week! In our snow-surrounded forest here, I am ensconced in my little art studio working on my fairytale dollhouse - specially on the Jack and the Beanstalk room - such fun! Takes good, good care! 💙💙. Kathleen
I'm loving learning that you were a librarian! I loved reading as a child, so many great series come to mind! Thank you for sharing about Roalds background, I did not know that but I have written down in my notes to research more about him and now you have further inspired me to do that! thank you. This room is so fun and wild, it will never be accessed of being boring! Your Jack and the beanstalk room sounds so charming. I'm happy to be back!
@@WhitneyLaBrie my childhood was similar except the boarding school. I'd spend my time in a cuboard reading books that was a great escape from the real world. Shame I can't fit in a cupboard now though lol x
Whitney, I had no idea you had a surgery! 😮 I am glad you are okay. Hugs. I apologize for not knowing. The room is turning out great! When you said about not knowing what type of fish? I immediately thought of “Swedish Fish”, of course! LOL I want to read the book you keep referring to about behind the scenes. It sounds so fascinating. Glad to see you back. 😊
It’s been a whirlwind, but I’m so happy to be back! I only made one short post on YT about the surgery because several people had asked me why I hadn't done longer videos lately. It wasn't a major surgery it was just located between my upper leg and lower abdomen and so the stitches made it hard to get around easy. The book is called "the making of willy Wonka" by Mel Stewart. Its been a fun read.
Great to see you back, so good to have you and what a way to burst back onto the channel! Love your interpretation of Wonka stories, thank you so much! ❤
This was so much fun! Always a pleasure to see you and Tiny Whitney! I love the egg and the fish/fish heads😂 you are always thinking outside the box and it’s such a joy 💕
I'm glad you enjoyed the fish heads! They were my favorite part of this armoire. Their little faces made me giggle! The egg in the pillow just really made the piece come together for me.
Wow, Whitney how fun is this room! I love this childhood classic. I had no idea you had surgery. So glad you are back and recovered. Hopefully it went well and beneficial. I had no idea so many of us were on a leave. This room is most Nostalgic. The wall paper is my favorite ❤🥰
Hi Whitney!! This a great video,Verica Salt is my favorite brat🤣 The fish skeletons are brilliant. Aww,there’s Tiny Whitney! You know I have A crush on her! 😅🥰😉
BTW,there was a band from the 90’s,called ‘Veruca Salt’. I used to wash the windows of one of the band members mom’s house🤣 The band is from Cleveland Ohio.
Really missed these videos Whitney! Happy you have recovered from surgery and are continuing work on the 15 room dollhouse! Thank you for all of the history on the making of Willy Wonka. I didn't see the 2005 version for several years either. I din't think it would be anywhere near what felt magical about the version Gene Wilder was in. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!
@@heathermartinez8640 Johnny will never come close to playing WW the way gene wilder did. But I can certainly my appreciate his attempt at playing the role differently, I can’t imagine trying to fill the shoes of Gene Wilder. Of course can you imagine Gene trying to play Edward Scisssorhands or Captain Jack Sparrow! Lmao. But anyway I am loving this crazy room and I’m so happy you are here on this mini journey with me! 💜💜💜
I loved making those fish. Their faces made me laugh and they felt really whimsical. I was happy with the result although I had my doubts in the beginning.
This is such a fun idea! I hope to one day have the space for every diorama/giant dollhouse idea I have lol but for now, I love watching your creations! Hope/glad you are feeling better.
I really appreciate that. I love glitter so it for sure its reflected in the nail polish I pick. When I don't choose glitter at the salon they ask me what's wrong! lol
@WhitneyLaBrie Lol! I love glitter too, and metallics for my nails...unfortunately I always end up using up my metallic polish for minature projects so I should start going to a salon too lol
What a cute an interesting idea to represent Veruca Salt. It’s so clever! The fish turned out so cuteeeee! I didn’t know about the surgery. I just saw you mentioned it on the community tab over a month ago. Hope it went well. It’s great to see you back.
I’m so glad you liked Veruca's room! I was really happy with how she turned out too. She was a fun character to create and learn about. I only briefly mentioned the surgery cause several were asking why I hadn't done a longer video, I try to keep it all about minis on the channel! great to hear from you! Hope you are having an awesome start to the new year!
Oh I am so sorry - somehow I missed that you had surgery! I hope you are feeling much better now. You had me cracking up at "now I can pet my wardrobe" 🤣 I LOVE this build - the egg came out PERFECT! The dresser looks amazing! I didn't know about the fish heads/squiRELs, but I love the trash shoot. And the wallpaper is PERFECT!!!!!! I have seen that wallpaper a million times - why has it never reminded me of that scene????? I have seen that movie sooooo many times! Anyway, I'm glad YOU went there bc it looks perfect. Can't wait to see what you do with Mike and Charlie!!! 💜💙💚💛🧡🤎
@@midvaleminis9736 it was just a minor surgery really but was in an inconvenient place that made it hard to move about. I was really happy with how my little spoiled brat Veruca turned out. I found that wall paper about two years ago and tossed it in the room box for the day when it would finally make an appearance and added to its new home. Worth the wait! Yes I have many more plans for this room. 🥰🥰🥰 thank you for being here.

omg I can't enen imagine having something I've created in a museum! how cool would that be!
@@WhitneyLaBrie It would be so warranted! This dollhouse is already a pop culture icon and it's not even done yet.
Totally agree!!!!!!😸
@ I love you for that!
I really hope you’re tagging every person alive involved with this story and your artwork because you should be recognized for this.
@@lolasworldofminis hell yeah x
you are such a doll! I certainly appreciate your kindness!
Fish heads, fish heads, rolly poly fish heads. Fish heads fish heads eat them up yum!!!
Ask a fish head anything you want to
They won't answer, they can't talk
@WhitneyLaBrie I used to listen to the Dr. Demento show when I lived in California.
@WhitneyLaBrie I took a fish head out to see a movie didn't have to pay to get it in.
@ 🤣🤣🤣
@@barbararosensteel8031 😂👏👏👏
Those are the cutest fish skeletons I’ve ever seen 🤩
thank you, I really loved them. I was skeptical at first but then so happy with the result
I love how everything just comes together. Happy to hear all is well.

You are so sweet! It was a pretty quick recovery thankfully!
Whitney, when applying the fur, so now I can pet my closet. hahaha

Good to see you back! Those fish heads are actually adorable 😂
Thanks so much! I think they are hilarious! Glad to be back too!
I love this representation of Veruca!!!! 😊
I'm thrilled you like her! I had some differernt ideas for her originally but I'm satisfied with the direction I went in.
@ came out awesome 🤩
So cool💞💞🤗
I love your creations! You captured Varuca. That wallpaper!!! I want it now! LoL ❤
that wall paper is so fun! Snozzeberries! Who ever heard of a snozzeberry!
I love this! I wish this was a room that r a Human size person could visit lol :)
oh wouldn't that be so fun. Someone should open a Willy Wonka themed hotel! how cool would that be.

I hope you have the space someday too! Happy to have you spend time with me here. :)
As usual you nailed it!! Turned out great!!! It's freezing here in PA. It was 6° here this morning.
I'm so glad you liked it! I'm sending warm thoughts from here! Ive traveled through PA in the winter, it is nuts!!!!

You are so underrated here on RUclips! I can't believe you have under 10.000 subscribers. You are so talented and entertaining 😊🎉
thank you for your kindness. I have no idea what I need to do to get my channel going! I'm at a loss myself.
I'm so happy to see you back. I'm glad you are doing well. Can you share the book you read about the making of the movie?
@@nickic4894 yes it’s called “pure imagination, the making of Willy wonka and the chocolate factory!”
❤❤❤
thank you Amy!
I love how the wardrobe turned out!! I find it hard to believe that you're old enough to have seen the original Willie Wonka when it came out. 😅
@@jonihenry8124 I saw it on VHS at my babysitters house!
Ha, okay. I feel better now. 😂
