Hello everyone I'm Cindy.. Happy (belated) Mother's Day to all the beautiful Mom's. Today I opened my 1st "Greenleaf (Orchid) Dollhouse Kit". I broke 2 windows already, but only because I was so excited. LoL..cough-cough.. :P I wasn't sure if I should use wood-filler or glue? I went with the "Gorilla-Glue" which seemed to workout just fine.. Crosses-fingers & holds-breath! I started a video too, so when the dollhouse is done we can watch it together. :) Ok, tty'all real soon. Cindy a.k.a. MayFlower86

Hello, I am fairly new to minis, but have always had an affinity for interior design. My husband & I have flipped/restored a few homes, so working on a tiny version has been a nice little adventure. I have an antique dollhouse my grandpa built my mother that I have been WAY too terrified to touch, but just recently found a Newburg for $3 at a thrift shop. I figured for less than I spend on my coffee I wouldn't be too upset if the whole thing was a wash. It's been fine so far. Lots of prep work & research into building some miniature items to fit the space better. I currently have an attempt at some kitchen cabinets gluing in our dining room Thank you in advance to everyone who helps me along the way!

Hi All, Just wanted to introduce myself. New member here. So I've been lurking about for a while but didn't join because I'm building a non-Greenleaf dollhouse. But then I noticed the Dura-craft section. I bought a Dura-craft San Franciscan 557 on Ebay... haha.. where else! It's my first house and I'm already totally obsessed. I really wanted a Greenleaf Garfield but I thought I might be biting off more than I can chew given my current skill set.... Might of bitten off more than I can chew with the SF 557 too! I'm totally inspired by all of your builds.. the gallery is a wonderful resource.

Hi! My names Ryder and I need helping picking out my first dollhouse! Here's a little background; when I was about six or seven My grandma and I were looking through a crafting magazine one day and she pointed to a dollhouse and said "I've always wanted to do one of those. It wouldn't be a doll house you played with you'd just look and collect the pieces and make the rooms anyway you'd like." At the time I was young and a doll house you couldn't play with didn't appeal to me. Now I'm older and my other grandmother has passed with much too much left to do in her bucket list. My grandma who is still with us wants a dollhouse, and a dollhouse she shall get. Her birthday is March 18th I have just under 5 months. Let's do this!

Hello there, I introduced myself briefly in the Community Trading area, and gave a website intro HERE , but I'd like to make this one a little more personal. My name's Niccy and I'm 26, from England, UK My background is in Art and Design, after graduating from a Fine Arts course at college in 2005, and up until a year ago my creative flair was capped by my employment - I worked in catering and then onto a nursery (Kindergarden) setting for several years. Due to a family crisis, my mum, who owns an online dollshouse company, called upon me to help whilst my grandfather turned suddenly very ill. I left my Nursery job to be here for the business, and I'm finally able to throw my creative eye into the real world. I am beginning to experiment with polymer clay, and have just purchased a couple of books on making miniature food. My aim is to be confident enough at doing it so they can be included to our site stock and taken to customers worldwide. It's a pretty daunting thought, as I'm such a perfectionist that I'm not sure how this is going to turn out- but i'm up for a challenge! If any of you do mini clay works I'll be grateful of some starting hints and tips! there's an instagram feed on the bottom of our homepage that she what i've been up to. I'm rather pleased with how the eggs turned out, but going to start experimenting a lot more when these books arrive!! I have a 4 year old daughter who was given her first dolls' house by Father Christmas last year. She is absolutely bursting with imagination, and frankly that girl is my world! Good things come in mini packages Hope to get to know some of you lovely folk! Regards, and bye for now! Niccy.

Hi, my name is Brittanie. I just joined this group today, the same day I received my Willow Dollhouse Kit in the mail (this model in case you're not familiar). I haven't begun working on it yet, I intend to take my time and do things as well as I can because I've never worked on a dollhouse before. I had one that my dad built when I was little but that was long ago and it wasn't from a kit (plus I didn't help build it!)... But I'm an artist so I have a vision for it. I hope this will be a good project for me to relax and have fun with in my down time. I'm hoping to achieve an old somewhat abandoned house look, although I have no idea if that will be possible or not. I work in mixed media with my art so I do a lot of distressing and staining with paper, I'm hoping I can apply similar techniques to wood and wallpapers and such. Wish me luck! :surrender: I've always really loved dollhouses. Something about the creepy but calming image of the miniature house in a child's room has always appealed to me. I really love antique dollhouses but they're too expensive for me right now. My fascination with them has been apart of much of my art and writing! A little about myself: I'm in my 20s, living in central Virginia US (I'm originally from TX) with my boyfriend and our 3 pets (1 blue heeler, and 2 kitties). I'm a freelance artist and I'm also currently working on my first novel. I spend a lot of time online, making art, and hanging out with my bf and pets. I'm a pretty big homebody but I also love nature and going exploring. I have an aesthetic love for Victorian era, Georgian era (which is the era my dollhouse is from, architecture wise), abandoned buildings, shabby chic style, girly style, natural earthy tones, dark and gloomy things, and lots more... An example of a style I love for dollhouses, this is an antique that sold for thousands! I'll be recording my experience with my dollhouse on my blog which you can see here. :type: I admit I'll be posting there more often than here but I'm going to try to use this site to get help, inspiration, and to make friends! :yes:
