havanaholly Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I ran across a container divided in half and one of those halves in half again; my wood utensils live in the half section and the other half is split between my wire whisks and utensils for the nonstick cookware.

I probably won't throw it away but will camouflage it in a crock with other utensils. Whoooooa - I LOVE IT! Bravo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I recently got a General Store Room box (franklin Mint version) off ebay and love it. Do any of you have a General/Country store in your collection? I came across this one on ebay (this is not the one I got, but I like it a lot!) and it is adorably charming (imo), though price is higher than I'd want to spend. But cute photos - love the post office boxes: https://www.ebay.com/itm/DIORAMA-COUNTRY-STORE-POST-OFFICE-MINIATURE-ROOM-LIGHTED-DOLLHOUSE-VINTAGE-OOAK/381693129213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thimble Hall Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 This is very good. I am starting to like the room boxes, one can decorate and show beautifully and they need little space. At first I did not like them at all I frankly thought they were pointless but I have turned around 100% on them over the past few months after seeing pictures here..thank you. This one is rather nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I felt the same way about roomboxes, I didn’t understand their appeal. After getting in to dolls now I like the idea of a single room as a showcase for a special doll. I’d love to do both a historicaly correct Tudor room and a Georgian room. That one is really cute.

Elsbeth Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I also found my myself wanting to immerse into the interior details far more than the exterior details - those became a burden to complete - so roomboxes are nice for me, too. I really like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I was thinking about making an offer, but I'd have to offer less than half...it is lovely, but I have a hard time spending a lot on room boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say it's a large dollhouse is understating it a bit. It's a good thing this is local pickup only, or I'd be sorely tempted to get it. And I can't afford it now!

It would make a nice mid-century modern house. It's good that mid-century modern doesn't ring my chimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is for a very active girl, so the idea of using basic style for now will probably do.
