I'm so happy you enjoyed this video. It was fun to make for me too as I was able to kinda travel back in time and reminisce about each space and how everything has come together!
I've never wanted to put together the Garfield because I didn't like how the rooms are displayed in the back....you have changed my mind. Everything you did is so beautiful! Damn, now I want a Garfield. Thank so much for sharing. I loved the tour!
This is a fun dollhouse and although the wood is not that great, it's thinner and it makes it much easier to modify if you want. I've built this house 4 times now, so if you decide to go for it, and you have questions, feel free to reach out. :)
I love so many different looks and styles that I just decided to make this dollhouse a little bit of many things I love..so every room has a different vibe as you can tell....but OMG..that office is hands down one of my favorite all time rooms...It's rare that you can look at a room and know exactly what it smells like! lol...it reminds me so much of my grandma and grandpas house.
wow, your comment was just lovely. I built each room with inspirations from other rooms or places I had been before, and so I get that feeling too. thank you so much!
Wow! I absolutely love it! You did an amazing job! I love all your little miniatures- cuckoo clock, ashtray ,cigarettes, your billiard/bar area is so cool! I find old dollhouses and try to fix them backup and I try to make them as realistic as possible but I am nowhere near this level! Lol I am so impressed! Thank you so much for sharing!❤
I'm thrilled you love the house and its so wonderful to hear that you are giving new life to old dollhouses! I know what you mean about being at a certain level, there are miniaturist out there that create such realistic miniatures they make meI want to throw out my stuff cause it feels like garbage! But I realize that some of those things require a patience I will never have and so I've decided I'm just going to do my best and have a blast while doing it!
Looks awesome!!!! It is amazing how just a few details can bring a room together. I love the new arrangement of the bar. I would totally live in this house😁 Thanks for sharing❤
I feel the same, hence why I shrink down and get to pretend at least! lol. Yeah the new arrangement of the bar made more sense and created a more cohesive space.
She makes her houses out of out of plastic containers and stuff like what pretzels come in she puts lights in them in everything but she does it with fairies
Sheila, thank you for being here! This was such a fun build. I learned a lot as I went room by room. I was happy to share it with you. I have plenty of other things in mind for the future!
The Garfield is a great dollhouse Amy! It is my third time to build it, I may have mentioned that already. This time however, I finally made it how I wanted!
Appreciated! Yes I really built this dollhouse as though it was more like a room box cluster. I really wanted it to be so many different styles and eras. I couldn't help myself! I'm happy you enjoyed it.
thank you, this huge project was pure joy all the way through. Every room I wanted to reflect different styles and feeling even if they didn't match with the Victorian house. It just brings me so much joy! Thanks for the comment and watching. :)
I just recently purchased a finished Garfield at an Antique store. It looks like it was built by two people. The base and bottom two floors are beautifully and solidly built, but the attic and roof were hot-glued in place and were all coming loose. Also the porch was off in pieces. I got a box of misc. bits off the house as well. I have been looking at You Tube videos of folks who have made this dollhouse and yours id wonderful. I will be looking at all your offerings.
Awe thank you! Glad to have you here. This is the third time I have built this house...I love it! What a great find, I hope you enjoy the journey this house will take you on!
This house,this real estate,truly,is a masterpiece. You must spend hours just gazing at the fruits of your labor. Kudos!! Also,I love my tiny Whitney mug😊😊
I do walk by it a lot and I'm always drawn to it, looking in the windows, taking it in at different view points. It's been a great time! I'm so happy you love your mug, I was worried about shipping it. But I worry about everything I ship!
OMG is that a Bob Ross tiny figurine in the painting room??? I love it! I just discovered your channel and now I will have to binge watch past episodes :)
Yes it sure is! When I made the video for that art room I dressed up like Mr. Ross… not a good look for me but I loved every minute! Happy to have you here at my channel, Welcome!
Your doll house is amazing! I loved this tour. I love the shower curtain idea! The books on the stairs gave a very homey feel. I love the artists tower. It’s all wonderful! Thanks for sharing. New subscriber!
Thank you. I love so many styles that I just decided to do something different in every room. I’m happy to read you are going to be starting your house soon. That’s very exciting, enjoy the journey!
@@WhitneyLaBrie No, I'm happy watching videos of everyone else's creativity. My house is too small for any displays, so I keep busy trying to keep up with the yard work, instead. That feels like a full time job most days. 🙂
Thank you! Yes the kitchen was inspired by a beautiful vineyard I visited in Tuscany. They made this wonderful meal for me in this awesome kitchen and so now I feel like I have a piece of that with me in California!
Wow! It's amazing! If I ever get shrunk to miniature size, this is the house I hope you let me live in! 🤣If I took some screen shots in the video, people actually would think I took a photo in an actual life sized house! Really amazing & pretty too! Thanks for sharing!
Just watched Kimberleigha's info on the HH Holmes house. I am endlessly fascinated about this time period because there is another story that we have not been accurately told about this time period. Any way. MUCH LOVE!
Awe thank you! Yes I have been collecting for a long time…the house has a different theme in every room cause I just love so many styles! Thank you for watching and commenting!
This is AMAZING! I am so impressed. is it easy for you to make decisions regarding design and finishing a space? I sold an unfinished dollhouse for $25 because I just couldn't decide what to do with it once I was done building, shingling and adding the floors. You're like an interior designer for dollhouses 😆 I love how full it is and how you added some finishing touches. Also love the mugs! Very funny 👏
I worked as a "designer" in the furniture industry for many years. I put designer in quotes because I am not degreed in it, I was only certified. A part of my job was also to design the floor vignettes for privately owned furniture stores. Then I had a very cool opportunity to be in a position to train real designers in furniture ordering, fabrics etc...but I actually learned a ton from them. That knowledge certainly transfers to this craft. The mugs! lol they make me laugh too!
I appreciate your comment & support, don't feel bad about the furnishings, what matter is you made a plan, followed through & executed it, so your job was completed, I admire the fact you took the challenge, it's easier to say no than yes.
Thank you for taking the time to watch! I really appreciate mini tours myself and of course I love this particular house, The Garfield cause it has so many details. Yes Mexican food...oooooh I could eat it every day!
When can I move in?! Such a beautiful dollhouse. Every room, the details, the accessories are all amazing. I really enjoy watching you put everything together. The pub table and stools are great! I'll order a beer to go with the chips and salsa.
That made me laugh when I realized that I had no English food in my English Pub and everything I had was Mexican food..oh and the Arbys! But you know..it made sense! lol
Just watching some of your older videos need some motivation coz I'm still not 100% yet but no more nurses visits as of today I'm injecting myself yay xx
Hi Whitney....I had not seen your channel before. Intrigued by the fact that you have a Garfield. I have a Garfield which I call "Vitoria". I am Fatima of "beauxminis" signed here as the Vancouver Dollhouse Miniature Show (BC Canada). I like the fact that you have taken us through a tour of the house. I think it is a great idea which I might consider as well for mine. IT is fascinating how the same kit can have a totally different feel. Mine is The night before Christmas theme. Victorian house with modern family living in it. Anyway, I'm going to check out the rest of your videos. Great Job sharing!
I've always loved that about dollhouse kits. I love seeing how the owner will make it their own! I love the name you gave yours! Beautiful! I really love a Christmas theme. Thank you for checking out my channel! I hope you enjoy :)
Great job, very creative, have you ever seen the World's 1st digitally inclined smart dollhouse featuring Alexa Technology, you won't believe your eyes.
No but that sounds so amazing, I will have to check it out. I'm sure id be impressed since I was so impressed with the queens dollhouse in England having running water! lol
Hello Whitney! Well I am new to your channel. Oh I am so impressed with what you did. I Love,Love, Love you conversation room. Your dollhouse is Amazing. I would like to know where you get all your dollhouse things? As I have a dollhouse and can't find anything for it. I have had it for a few years as it was a Christmas present from my son and daughter in law. So it just sits with nothing in it. I was able to get things for the porch and then the store went out of business. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. So until next time God Bless you and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. ❣️👭💕
Hi Joan! So happy to have you here! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my videos! I have been collecting for many years and I pick up treasures everywhere. I also have my own dollhouse eBay store where you can purchase pre-owned and new dollhouse furniture and accessories. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. The miniature community loves to share their knowledge so if I don’t know something I’m sure another viewer will have the answer for you! Thank you again, your new miniature friend, Whitney!
In the 70s everyhouse had a pencil sharpener like that mounted on a wall somewhere. Ours was in out garage for some reason. What do you use to hang your artwork. Im so indecisive that i need something temporary but strong.
There's a sticky wax that most people use. I don't have my package in front of me to give you an exact name (and it depends on what part of the world you're in), but it's something like 'Artists' or 'Tacky' wax.
You are so right! My grandpa had one in the garage too and I believe my parents had one on their wall in the office when I was a kid. I tend to use museum wax. I like it because it's clear and then when I remove the item I can just easily slide a razor blade over the wall and remove any left on the wall very easily with no damage to the paper.
I'm sorry Its taken so long for me to reply to you, for some reason your comment was put in a held for review section which I don't look at very often! Im so happy you liked the sunroom, it added so much to the overall look of the house and of course more light. The kitchen dimensions are roughly 14 deep, 6 wide and 9 inches tall.
Thank you! Welcome to my channel. Yes I love too many different styles so when I built this house, I decided I would do a different look in every room just based on what I love. ❤️❤️🥰🥰 I’m working on another 15 room house and each room is based on one of my favorite movies! Hope you enjoy
This is so awesome/beautiful I'm trying to find one to restore now but they are hard to find!!! I was wondering if you made the washer and dryer or buy them already made? Everything is so great I'm speechless.... if you did buy the extras was it one place?
Yes finding houses this size to restore is challenging for sure! I bought the washer and dryer many years ago. All the extras that I have are part of my collection that I have been adding to for many years. I have purchased them for all over place. It's an addiction for sure! Thank you for watching and hanging out with me.
Hey, Whitney! Me again! Can't remember if I commented on this post or not! We have so much the same taste! I almost fell out when I saw the grandfather clock! Nice but I thought it was like the 1 I just got in a lot sale off Marketplace but not quite! I believe it is a Fantastic Merchandise clock and I can't find 1 anywhere like it! It does say "Fantastic" on the face and recently I was told that Bespaq kinda took over FM? Is that correct or do you know? She said FM was the early Bespaq, not sure exactly how she explained it but they do look very much alike as far as coloring, detail, quality, etc... If I send you some pics would you mind giving me your input? I tend to buy these things that I can never find after searching high and low, site after site! Used to Worthpoint usually had most items but lately they don't even show up as having a sold price or anything like that! Actually I'm gonna send another pic of these Bespaq corner units I got. Bid on them and shockingly later found out I won them! Nice!! Anyway, you know once I start rambling it's just on!! I'll stop and get the pics sent! I ask you because you're the only one who seems to know anything! Even the lady who bought out all Bespaq's inventory only had to say "they discontinued them or they're no longer available" something like that! No info! From early 90's is all I've obtained! I know you've seen them! I have but can't remember where! Oh, it was the ladies mother I was buying some stuff from and we got into conversation and she asked her daughter (Bespaq inventory lady) about them. I'm confusing myself so I'm stopping now!! Have a great time with the fam!!❤️❤️❤️
sorry for the late reply, I was at the airport for much of the day yesterday trying to fly from Texas back home to California, and it was crazy at the airport. I will look at the pictures and see what I can figure out. I also have a friend who has owned a dollhouse shop for about 50 years. I'll see if she knows anything also. :) Hope you are having a great 2023 so far, 12 days in! lol
Lmao!! Yes I’m sure they feel they are living in the future! Yes I went with a totally different style and theme in almost every room. I love so many different looks that I decided to just go for it with this house! 😉
I see you sell dollhouse furniture but do you sell dollhouses with the furniture already inside? If you do, where to buy? Also, what is the tower room? I've never heard of that before. There's two? One in the raggedy Ann room and then another one that's for painting???
I have an eBay store where I sell furniture and sometimes small dollhouses. People do hire me to build dollhouses for them also, Im finishing one now actually. Super fun. This dollhouse has a tower on one side of the house and so all three floors have a little tower area, but the raggedy Ann room is the only roominthe house where the tower has an actual door to the room.
Sorry 2nd post but i am alluding to the Orphan Trains as well as the highly displaced looking people in every photograph of this era. I know it is convenient so use the moniker Conspiracy Theory. We need to figure out what happened before all evidence is destroyed. AGAIN. love!
Thank you! She is a sweet little doll! She is not posable, I found her at an estate sale several years ago. There was a time when I never bought dolls cause I felt they often made the room look unrealistic, but I have slowly pulled back from that as I have found some cool dolls. :)
@@WhitneyLaBrie it's so funny that you mention this. I too, typically do not put dolls in my house. My standards are high and unless they are very detailed and of true scale ( I've not found as of yet) then, I won't use them. I'm actually considering a felted mouse family living in my house. Some of the mice from ETSY are adorable.
@@thesentimentalsoul3683 Yes I love the felted mouse, my autumn room box I'm working on now is for a felted mouse. In fact, I'm doing a mini painting for the house and I used a picture of a felted mouse from Etsy as my inspiration! They are really cute and perfect scales for the dollhouse! The hardest part is choosing one. :)
HI Julie, great question. Each room in this particular house is designed from different eras and styles. It is the 4th time I have built this house and I just wanted to create in as though it were several room boxes put together. So the dining room is a different era than the 70's office! Great observation :) I'm also currently working on a 15 room dollhouse and each room is designed based on a movie or television show.
@@WhitneyLaBrie I would have never thought to mix things up like that, it's kind of like snapshots of the same house over the decades.....very interesting concept. And I like the idea of doing another one with different movies and shows. I'm just wondering how the architecture of the house itself will lend itself to that. Shows and movies are from such varied and wildly different eras and styles, making them fit together and still be recognisable as the original sounds like quite a challenge.
@@juliebaker6969 it’s been so fun and challenging. I have already created a Wizard of Oz baby room. A What we do in the Shadows Dining room… A Indiana Jones Office A Poltergeist Children’s room And I’m working on the Back to the Future Garage currently on my channel! ❤️
Yes so what happened was this...I have built this house about 4 times, each time making it all Victorian and staying true to the house itself..but this last time I just chose to think of the house as several room boxes put together and made each one a different style and in most cases from different periods. This was mainly because I just love so many different looks and had so many different collections of furniture and accessories that it felt great putting it all in one place. I don't know if you subscribe but I'm currently working on a huge 15 room dollhouse and each room is a different movie or tv theme! hope you enjoy!
@WhitneyLaBrie ❤️ Just so you know, you inspired me to buy a doll house. It is 45 inches wide and 24 inches from front to back. It's amazing. The older gentlemen that I bought it from made it From. Scratch. He downloaded the instructions and build all the pieces himself. He sold it to me for fifty dollars. I watched your video and I thought the house was gorgeous.
@@Diana-wg1tm wow that is really amazing! I hope you enjoy the journey a dollhouse can take you on! It sounds like you came across an amazing find! ❤️❤️❤️
Good question…I never used to have dolls at all but I found these and really liked them and put them in there to keep them safe. Most likely they will find a knew place to live at some point! Thanks for watching! :)
That was just like taking a real home tour. This was ONE of your very best videos! And that's saying something since I enjoy them all!!!
I'm so happy you enjoyed this video. It was fun to make for me too as I was able to kinda travel back in time and reminisce about each space and how everything has come together!
I've never wanted to put together the Garfield because I didn't like how the rooms are displayed in the back....you have changed my mind. Everything you did is so beautiful! Damn, now I want a Garfield. Thank so much for sharing. I loved the tour!

WOW...that bedspread looks amazing ! I find the majority of them seem to look 'clunky' or out of scale, even when they are the correct size.
Yeah that bed and the comforter were made by a designer and for the life of me I can’t remember her name!
Your dollhouse is just gorgeous!! A true work of art!! ❤
Thank you! Miniatures have been a passion for most of my life and this was always my dream dollhouse!
What a superb dollhouse, so many things to look upon. The details are amazing. I love the 1970's office, it kills me it's so true to life.❤😅
I love so many different looks and styles that I just decided to make this dollhouse a little bit of many things I love..so every room has a different vibe as you can tell....but OMG..that office is hands down one of my favorite all time rooms...It's rare that you can look at a room and know exactly what it smells like! lol...it reminds me so much of my grandma and grandpas house.
Wow , looking at this dollhouse makes me feel like I've been in there. I could get home sick for it. Beautiful ❤️ 😻 Amazing ❤️❤️❤️

Wow, you have a real gift. The interiors are just amazing.
Thank you for your kindness! You made my day.. 🥰
I'm so impressed. Everything is so realistic, exquisite, and detailed. Just gorgeous!
Thank you Sherry, this has been such a passion of mine and It was fun to take everyone along on the journey with me!
I would love to be the doll that lives in this beautiful doll house
You are too cute! Same absolutely same feelings here!
WOW. This is gorgeous and fantastic! I love that you made the staircase into a library situation.
Thank you! I felt like that made that area for cosy and useful!
Looks awesome!!!! It is amazing how just a few details can bring a room together. I love the new arrangement of the bar. I would totally live in this house😁 Thanks for sharing❤
I feel the same, hence why I shrink down and get to pretend at least! lol. Yeah the new arrangement of the bar made more sense and created a more cohesive space.
That was very interesting, enjoyed how you have done the rooms, well done you.
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it! ☺️☺️
This house is so beautiful
Thank you. This is for sure a passion of mine that I’ve loved since I was a kiddo!
I love miniatures to a lot I have a niece that's a miniature established she does hers with little fairies and she makes her own little
She makes her houses out of out of plastic containers and stuff like what pretzels come in she puts lights in them in everything but she does it with fairies
@@cynthiajuarez5855 I love that sort of creative miniatures. People are so darn creative, it’s amazing
Wow, what an amazing dollhouse, each room is so unique and has so many wonderful details. Love it!!!
Yes I have major problem! I love too many looks and styles!!! lol
@@WhitneyLaBrie LOL! That's great though, gives you plenty of material to create wonderful minis!!
Just awesome! You are so creative, talented and I admire your work. I just love your dollhouse. Thanks for sharing.
Sheila, thank you for being here! This was such a fun build. I learned a lot as I went room by room. I was happy to share it with you. I have plenty of other things in mind for the future!
Great tour love the little conservatory
Thank you Iris! That’s one of my favorite parts too!!! 🥰
Look amazing!! Love how all of the different styles come together. The Garfield is on my list 😊😊 love it 🥰
The Garfield is a great dollhouse Amy! It is my third time to build it, I may have mentioned that already. This time however, I finally made it how I wanted!
Beautiful work.
Thank you so much, it was fun to have one house but so many different styles and decor under one roof!
What a gorgeous piece of art! Just beautiful!🤗
Thank you! As you know it's a passion and also an obsession! lol
This is amazing love this dollhouse
Oh thank you for that! It certainly is a passion of mine. I’ll be refurbishing a huge house and doing a lot of other fun projects in 2023! :)
You’re welcome, it shows and I just subscribed I don’t want to miss it.
Just beautiful. Really amazing dollhouse.
Thank you for that! It was just an absolute blast to build and I learned so much along the way!
Wow amazing... Very creative and eclectic.
Thank you! I kinda chose to think of each room as though it were its own separate entity, because I just love so many different styles!
very imaginative layouts, you have a flair for good ideas, very nice to watch thank you!
Appreciated! Yes I really built this dollhouse as though it was more like a room box cluster. I really wanted it to be so many different styles and eras. I couldn't help myself! I'm happy you enjoyed it.

I love the style you did it in it's so I love how you did the bathroom it's beautiful
Thank you! I couldn’t decide what styles I loves the most so I pretty much did a different style in every room.
Breathtaking.
I really appreciate that. This has been my favorite dollhouse I've ever built!
I love the staircase with the books on it! Too cute. Really nice job.
thank you! That may be one of my favorite areas of the house, but very few people ever mention it, so thank you very much for that!
That is so very neat and I just love the doll house so much. Thank you so very much for for sharing this neat video with me today Karen Nichols
Hi Karen! Thank you! This year I'll be revisiting the dollhouse and adding some cool things to several of the rooms!

I agree a lot of secrets around this time.
Just stunning! It's wonderful ♥♥♥♥
Thank you! This was a fun build too. I don’t really go with the traditional look of a Victorian…I wanted each room to have its own personality.
Wow! Super cute❤
Thank you so much for that! I'm happy you enjoyed it! :)
This is fabulous!
Thank you! I enjoyed every second of building this house, so fun!
This is so lovely! Beautiful work- you have amazing pieces!

👏
If you're like me, it's not that you didn't have ideas, it's that you probably had TOO many ideas and couldn't decide between them, lol :)
I have a lot of ideas but no clue how to make them happen. I can't decorate a real house either.
I worked as a "designer" in the furniture industry for many years. I put designer in quotes because I am not degreed in it, I was only certified. A part of my job was also to design the floor vignettes for privately owned furniture stores. Then I had a very cool opportunity to be in a position to train real designers in furniture ordering, fabrics etc...but I actually learned a ton from them. That knowledge certainly transfers to this craft. The mugs! lol they make me laugh too!
@@WhitneyLaBrie That makes a ton of sense!
I appreciate your comment & support, don't feel bad about the furnishings, what matter is you made a plan, followed through & executed it, so your job was completed, I admire the fact you took the challenge, it's easier to say no than yes.
Wonderful tour. Just adore miniature tours. TYVM for sharing.
PS: I too, love Mexican food. 🌮🌯🫔🍸
Thank you for taking the time to watch! I really appreciate mini tours myself and of course I love this particular house, The Garfield cause it has so many details. Yes Mexican food...oooooh I could eat it every day!
Totally amazeballs whitney I love love ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ 💕 this well done xxxx
Thank you love! Did you see the duck!?
Yes lol 😆 🤣 😂 I love the bar table and stools too what a great top it has xx
This looks wonderful.👏🏼👏🏼🍁🍂🎃🍂🍁
Thank you! I have since added all the garden and extras around the house. This was such an amazing project. I learned so much!
Wonderful!!
Thank you! Wonderful to have you here!
The trash to the wastebasket cracked me up 😂
lol I had to go back and listen to what I said..I forget sometimes the things I say or do in these videos. is that bad!? lmao
@@WhitneyLaBrie not at all hon! This was my first time watching and I'm impressed!
Lmao! Love the little Bob Ross figure in the artist room.
That’s one of my absolute favorite little minis! Lmao!!! Thank you for noticing 🎨👩🎨🖌️🖼️
@@WhitneyLaBrie 😉
@@WhitneyLaBrie I have the little brother of the Garfield; the Pierce. Unfortunately, I have to sell it.
@@Fur_ball awe I’m sorry to hear that. That’s a good house too!
@@WhitneyLaBrie yes. It is. Life has its twists and turns.
When can I move in?! Such a beautiful dollhouse. Every room, the details, the accessories are all amazing. I really enjoy watching you put everything together. The pub table and stools are great! I'll order a beer to go with the chips and salsa.
That made me laugh when I realized that I had no English food in my English Pub and everything I had was Mexican food..oh and the Arbys! But you know..it made sense! lol
Just watching some of your older videos need some motivation coz I'm still not 100% yet but no more nurses visits as of today I'm injecting myself yay xx
that's so wonderful to hear! That's a great next step in the healing process. ;)
Hi Whitney....I had not seen your channel before. Intrigued by the fact that you have a Garfield. I have a Garfield which I call "Vitoria". I am Fatima of "beauxminis" signed here as the Vancouver Dollhouse Miniature Show (BC Canada). I like the fact that you have taken us through a tour of the house. I think it is a great idea which I might consider as well for mine.
IT is fascinating how the same kit can have a totally different feel. Mine is The night before Christmas theme. Victorian house with modern family living in it.
Anyway, I'm going to check out the rest of your videos. Great Job sharing!
I've always loved that about dollhouse kits. I love seeing how the owner will make it their own! I love the name you gave yours! Beautiful! I really love a Christmas theme. Thank you for checking out my channel! I hope you enjoy :)
Great job, very creative, have you ever seen the World's 1st digitally inclined smart dollhouse featuring Alexa Technology, you won't believe your eyes.
No but that sounds so amazing, I will have to check it out. I'm sure id be impressed since I was so impressed with the queens dollhouse in England having running water! lol
Hello Whitney! Well I am new to your channel. Oh I am so impressed with what you did. I Love,Love, Love you conversation room. Your dollhouse is Amazing. I would like to know where you get all your dollhouse things? As I have a dollhouse and can't find anything for it. I have had it for a few years as it was a Christmas present from my son and daughter in law. So it just sits with nothing in it. I was able to get things for the porch and then the store went out of business. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. So until next time God Bless you and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. ❣️👭💕
Hi Joan! So happy to have you here! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my videos! I have been collecting for many years and I pick up treasures everywhere. I also have my own dollhouse eBay store where you can purchase pre-owned and new dollhouse furniture and accessories. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. The miniature community loves to share their knowledge so if I don’t know something I’m sure another viewer will have the answer for you! Thank you again, your new miniature friend, Whitney!
Was that a dollhouse in the dollhouse? Fantastic job here!
yes it sure was! That was not made by me, it was a found treasure. :)
In the 70s everyhouse had a pencil sharpener like that mounted on a wall somewhere. Ours was in out garage for some reason. What do you use to hang your artwork. Im so indecisive that i need something temporary but strong.
There's a sticky wax that most people use. I don't have my package in front of me to give you an exact name (and it depends on what part of the world you're in), but it's something like 'Artists' or 'Tacky' wax.
Our pencil sharpener was in the basement next to the enormous furnace.
You are so right! My grandpa had one in the garage too and I believe my parents had one on their wall in the office when I was a kid. I tend to use museum wax. I like it because it's clear and then when I remove the item I can just easily slide a razor blade over the wall and remove any left on the wall very easily with no damage to the paper.
I love how you added the sunroom at the rear of the kitchen. Looks great. Could you please give me the room dimensions of the kitchen?
I'm sorry Its taken so long for me to reply to you, for some reason your comment was put in a held for review section which I don't look at very often! Im so happy you liked the sunroom, it added so much to the overall look of the house and of course more light. The kitchen dimensions are roughly 14 deep, 6 wide and 9 inches tall.
Absolutely awesome job! I’ve always loved miniatures, especially doll houses! You have talent!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment. It has been a life long passion for me and I've enjoyed sharing it with the miniature community. :)
By the way it looks amazing
Hi! Thank you for that! I appreciate you being here. :)
This is so detailed! Beautiful! This is my first time seeing this channel! ❤
Question is this a specific era or just expressive? Either way I love it!
Thank you! Welcome to my channel.
Yes I love too many different styles so when I built this house, I decided I would do a different look in every room just based on what I love. ❤️❤️🥰🥰 I’m working on another 15 room house and each room is based on one of my favorite movies! Hope you enjoy
@@WhitneyLaBrie OMG!! I’m definitely gonna watch!! ❤️ This is so cool and I’m fangirling out #youreplied 🤯🥰💗🙌🏽
This is so awesome/beautiful I'm trying to find one to restore now but they are hard to find!!! I was wondering if you made the washer and dryer or buy them already made? Everything is so great I'm speechless.... if you did buy the extras was it one place?
Yes finding houses this size to restore is challenging for sure! I bought the washer and dryer many years ago. All the extras that I have are part of my collection that I have been adding to for many years. I have purchased them for all over place. It's an addiction for sure! Thank you for watching and hanging out with me.
Hey, Whitney! Me again! Can't remember if I commented on this post or not! We have so much the same taste! I almost fell out when I saw the grandfather clock! Nice but I thought it was like the 1 I just got in a lot sale off Marketplace but not quite! I believe it is a Fantastic Merchandise clock and I can't find 1 anywhere like it! It does say "Fantastic" on the face and recently I was told that Bespaq kinda took over FM? Is that correct or do you know? She said FM was the early Bespaq, not sure exactly how she explained it but they do look very much alike as far as coloring, detail, quality, etc... If I send you some pics would you mind giving me your input? I tend to buy these things that I can never find after searching high and low, site after site! Used to Worthpoint usually had most items but lately they don't even show up as having a sold price or anything like that! Actually I'm gonna send another pic of these Bespaq corner units I got. Bid on them and shockingly later found out I won them! Nice!! Anyway, you know once I start rambling it's just on!! I'll stop and get the pics sent! I ask you because you're the only one who seems to know anything! Even the lady who bought out all Bespaq's inventory only had to say "they discontinued them or they're no longer available" something like that! No info! From early 90's is all I've obtained! I know you've seen them! I have but can't remember where! Oh, it was the ladies mother I was buying some stuff from and we got into conversation and she asked her daughter (Bespaq inventory lady) about them. I'm confusing myself so I'm stopping now!! Have a great time with the fam!!❤️❤️❤️
sorry for the late reply, I was at the airport for much of the day yesterday trying to fly from Texas back home to California, and it was crazy at the airport. I will look at the pictures and see what I can figure out. I also have a friend who has owned a dollhouse shop for about 50 years. I'll see if she knows anything also. :) Hope you are having a great 2023 so far, 12 days in! lol
I bet those Victorian ladies enjoy the washer, drier, and microwave!
Great job, though.
Lmao!! Yes I’m sure they feel they are living in the future!
Yes I went with a totally different style and theme in almost every room.
I love so many different looks that I decided to just go for it with this house! 😉
I see you sell dollhouse furniture but do you sell dollhouses with the furniture already inside?
If you do, where to buy?
Also, what is the tower room? I've never heard of that before. There's two? One in the raggedy Ann room and then another one that's for painting???
I have an eBay store where I sell furniture and sometimes small dollhouses. People do hire me to build dollhouses for them also, Im finishing one now actually. Super fun. This dollhouse has a tower on one side of the house and so all three floors have a little tower area, but the raggedy Ann room is the only roominthe house where the tower has an actual door to the room.
Que casa linda 😍
¡gracias! ¡Que tengas un hermoso día!💕
Sorry 2nd post but i am alluding to the Orphan Trains as well as the highly displaced looking people in every photograph of this era. I know it is convenient so use the moniker Conspiracy Theory. We need to figure out what happened before all evidence is destroyed. AGAIN. love!
You seem really well versed in this subject! Awesome!
I never knew how much work it takes to make a doll house to be realistic...👁👄👁
Thank you! Yes it takes a lot of time and a lot of passion! I appreciate you watching! 🥰🥰
❤ kitchen
Thank you! It is one of my favorite rooms in my dollhouse too!
Where did you find the doll for your bathroom? Is she posable? Tyvm
Thank you! She is a sweet little doll! She is not posable, I found her at an estate sale several years ago. There was a time when I never bought dolls cause I felt they often made the room look unrealistic, but I have slowly pulled back from that as I have found some cool dolls. :)
@@WhitneyLaBrie it's so funny that you mention this. I too, typically do not put dolls in my house. My standards are high and unless they are very detailed and of true scale ( I've not found as of yet) then, I won't use them. I'm actually considering a felted mouse family living in my house. Some of the mice from ETSY are adorable.
@@thesentimentalsoul3683 Yes I love the felted mouse, my autumn room box I'm working on now is for a felted mouse. In fact, I'm doing a mini painting for the house and I used a picture of a felted mouse from Etsy as my inspiration! They are really cute and perfect scales for the dollhouse! The hardest part is choosing one. :)
Well, I don't see where I can add pics! I'll go to ebay with it... AGAIN!! LOL
I'll look for them there!
How do you get the Garfield through the door in your house?
Luckily because the house is shaped like an “L,” I can go long ways and then turn it a little…however it is a two man job 😜
what escale is this house? i like it
Thank you. It is 1:12th or one inch scale
❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️back at you! Thank you for watching😉
❤
thank you!
When you said 70s you meant 1970s right? So why are the maid and the woman by the fireplace from the 1870s?
HI Julie, great question. Each room in this particular house is designed from different eras and styles. It is the 4th time I have built this house and I just wanted to create in as though it were several room boxes put together. So the dining room is a different era than the 70's office! Great observation :) I'm also currently working on a 15 room dollhouse and each room is designed based on a movie or television show.
@@WhitneyLaBrie I would have never thought to mix things up like that, it's kind of like snapshots of the same house over the decades.....very interesting concept.
And I like the idea of doing another one with different movies and shows. I'm just wondering how the architecture of the house itself will lend itself to that. Shows and movies are from such varied and wildly different eras and styles, making them fit together and still be recognisable as the original sounds like quite a challenge.
@@juliebaker6969 it’s been so fun and challenging.
I have already created a Wizard of Oz baby room.
A What we do in the Shadows Dining room…
A Indiana Jones Office
A Poltergeist Children’s room
And I’m working on the Back to the Future Garage currently on my channel! ❤️
It has different periods ?🤔
Yes so what happened was this...I have built this house about 4 times, each time making it all Victorian and staying true to the house itself..but this last time I just chose to think of the house as several room boxes put together and made each one a different style and in most cases from different periods. This was mainly because I just love so many different looks and had so many different collections of furniture and accessories that it felt great putting it all in one place. I don't know if you subscribe but I'm currently working on a huge 15 room dollhouse and each room is a different movie or tv theme! hope you enjoy!
The deer head should be in the office. Not over the dining room table when people are eating.🤔
thank you for your feedback
@WhitneyLaBrie ❤️ Just so you know, you inspired me to buy a doll house. It is 45 inches wide and 24 inches from front to back. It's amazing. The older gentlemen that I bought it from made it From.
Scratch. He downloaded the instructions and build all the pieces himself. He sold it to me for fifty dollars. I watched your video and I thought the house was gorgeous.
I love your house It was the best ones I've seen on RUclips.
@@Diana-wg1tm wow that is really amazing! I hope you enjoy the journey a dollhouse can take you on! It sounds like you came across an amazing find! ❤️❤️❤️
👍🏻
Thank you for that!!!!!
paint vines rose vines
Great idea!!! 😍😍😍🌹🥀🌹🥀
I love this dollhouse, but I'm confused as to why you have dolls dressed in 1800's clothing in a more modern setting?
Good question…I never used to have dolls at all but I found these and really liked them and put them in there to keep them safe. Most likely they will find a knew place to live at some point! Thanks for watching! :)
You might want to consider adding a baby.
In my new dollhouse I added a Wizard of Oz baby room. I love it! :)
You’re a doll house is bad ass! lol!
lmao! Thank you! I'm going to carry that statement with me all day!
Amazing!
Thank you Nancy! Hope you are having a great start to your week!
