    Craigslist Find: Heirloom Dollhouse Lot

    I found this heirloom dollhouse with boxes of items on craigslist. I'm so excited!! Now I just need to find room for it!!
  3. Tenyson Dollhouse for a few bucks or free to a good home near me. I bought it in a lot of miniatures but I do not have room for it. It is just the dollhouse. No furniture or accessories. My dollhouse miniature hobby has led me to buy three dollhouses. I recently purchased my third dollhouse but now I have to get rid of my Tenyson Dollhouse. Its a fixer upper but I just want it to go to a good home. I don't have enough room for three dollhouses in my house. So if anyone lives in Virginia anywhere near Chesapeake, Norfolk, or Virginia Beach I can drop the dollhouse off or meet you. I would like a few bucks for it if possible but I really just want it to go to a good home. I will post pictures if anyone is interested. Just send me a message or comment on this post. Again the dollhouse needs some trim, paint, wallpaper, and tlc but I know that it would be lovely once it is finished.
  4. It also came with three whole boxes full of items, furniture, and accessories!! I am so excited!!! Will be posting more pictures as I discover what is in each box!
  5. I found several House of Miniatures Kit lots on a website. If I buy a lot/multiple lots, does anyone want to buy the items that I do not want? Or if anyone buys that lots, I am interested in the items listed below. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=13692209 I want the bed and tavern table. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?itemid=13692392 The small side table( hepplewhite serpentine table) http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?itemid=13691992 The corner chair, mirror and lowboy.
  6. Thank you for your advice and identifying the dollhouse. I tried looking up pictures online with no luck. Now I know
  7. I found my wallpaper books by posting a wanted add on craigslist and a nice man sold them to me after contacting me. I have seen them on ebay once in a while but you have to search the author.
  8. A little off topic but Your dollhouse floors look amazing! May I ask what products and techniques you used?
  9. Hello Everyone, I have several questions about different areas. I found a Victorian styled built dollhouse at a Flea Market but it needs some tlc. The highest point on the dollhouse is 33 inches tall. I am building multiple House of Miniatures Kits and Realife Miniatures kits, what is the best stain and polyurethane/shellac to use? Any suggestions? I have the Minwax 2 in 1 stain/poly, would that be ok? Oh and I bought the wood preconditioner since the wood is old and dry. I was wondering about flooring in a dollhouse? I want to do wood floors. Some of my floors just need a stain/finish, others need wood flooring installed on top because of the two pieces of wood coming together. Any product suggestions? Also if I use wood clapboard as flooring what glue should I use? Or is it best to buy the ready to install wood flooring? I plan on electrifying my dollhouse but I am not sure if I could do it myself or if I should have it done at the dollhouse shop near me? I want to have multiple outlets in each room to move lamps around. Also after installing the electricity, how do you wallpaper? The shop near me charges $10 per room for electric + $10 to wallpaper. My dollhouse has 5 to 6 rooms. I have a 1:12 or 1:1 scale dollhouse with small 10 3/4 inch deep rooms that are 9 1/2 inches in length. With ceilings that are about 9 1/4 inches tall. I want to add molding on the top and bottom of the walls. Is there a size of molding that would be best for such small rooms? Thank you for your responses, I am new to the hobby of miniatures. I need to learn the skills and secretes of miniatures. I appreciate any tips or advice. I have included a picture of my house and the wallpaper books that I will be using.

  11. Hello Everyone, I am Bluecaly. I am from VA. I am new to the hobby of Dollhouses. I am currently building a 1:1 scale Duracraft Cambridge dollhouse. This will be the first dollhouse that I have ever built. I appreciate any tips along the way. I also love to build furniture kits; my favorite are HOM and realife miniature kits.
