Arches and keystones being the operative elements here. Can't imagine a flat ceiling of brick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The nice thing about our craft is that we can do whatever we like with our creations - the natural laws don't have to be followed unless we want to follow them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueirishmoon Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 If anyone is looking for a good value set of blue or red willow patterned plates, you can get a set of 12 right here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CUSTOM-MINIATURE-SMALL-PROJECT-1-12-Scale-Dollhouse-Miniature-Artist-Handmade/302391663408?_trkparms=ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140212121249%26meid%3D3332f744a4af46f4b1136c427c8c8246%26pid%3D100102%26&_trksid=p3693.c100102.m2452 I asked the seller about a month ago if she'd ever consider doing them in ceramic, and she went and experimented just for me. I thought they came out great! If you'd like to see pictures, she has them for the paper versions she sells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgwyn Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Just found this on Facebook Worldwide Dollhouse Miniature Buy/sell/trade Open to anyone! https://www.facebook.com/groups/167829553766398/?ref=group_header. You may already know about it but it seems like a good place to find custom miniature items. Just wanted to share. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I found this cute enameled soap dish at Hobby Lobby. (The one on the right) $6.99 before sale discount. It also comes in blue, and a teal like green color. The scale might be a little big, but I thought I would share it. It is in the front of store with all the various displays. Look for the Laundry decor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Carrie, my hubs' paternal granddaddy had a tub that would have scaled down to that size. The first time we ever went to visit that's what I took a bath in; I felt like I could swim laps in it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More pictures please Thanks Sam, I need to move my house over to get better light for pictures. I have been making upholstered sofas instead of working on the house. If you want a tub, I'll get you one and mail it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minilover62 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I was after one of this Brownstones houses for at least 2 years. I once found one in Santa Barbara, CA, but the seller didn't even answer my multiple request to have the house ship to Wisconsin. Patience finally paid and two days ago a sent an offer to a seller from also California, whom unbelievably accepted it, and this baby with its contents is on my way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minilover62 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Holly, I think that this owner bought the house from an Estate sale, and that the house has all the pieces that the original owner kept inside the house without any coordinated arrangement. The yellow living room pieces are disperse in two rooms. The house itself was the main attraction to me but a few pieces are calling my attention now, hopefully he will send everything, we all know that sometimes this is not the case, he said they are 41 pieces. It happened to me twice that I went to pick up a house from a Craigslist ad, and they had everything packed when I got there, and when I came back home and checked everything against the ad pictures, pieces were missing. I am not sure if the bedroom set is from a Realife kit. The wall clock in the living room is rare. I will strip the house and start fresh. I am very excited waiting for this finding. He sent everything in 5 packages. I can't even say how much I paid because I don't think he is making any $ out of this sale. It was literally a gift.

jbnmini Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I am looking forward to finding some new treasures at this year's Philadelphia Miniatura - it's just about here!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Carmen, I think you're spot on about the Reallife bedroom set, and I suspect the seller was delighted to get someone who could appreciate the house and its contents. I can't wait to see what it tells you it wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minilover62 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Part of the furniture is here. I think the mahogany pieces that I received today (4 dining room chairs, rare folding dining table, grandfather clock, coffee table, 2 side tables and the yellow gent's and lady's chairs) are Fantastic Miniatures. The bed is here and I think is also Fantastic, definitely is not Realife. The coffee table has a broken leg, the bed has a missing piece on the frame, and one of the side tables has a missing drawer. Very interesting so far. Can't complaint. The rest will get here by Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
