tyshalae Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) I was at my local Dollarama today to get some stuff for camping and took a wander down the craft aisle as usual. They were putting out new stock and there's a line of Mini Furniture painting sets for $1.50 each. Unpainted wood, a really horrible brush and 3 little pots of primary coloured paint. The quality is not great, but with some work, some love, some good paint and such I think I can produce something I can use. The scale is... I don't think there is a coherent scale really. I decorate my houses in a mishmash of homemade and store bought stuff, some of it Calico Critters scale, some of it 1/12, so I don't worry so much about scale personally. Some of the items seem to be 1/12 or close, others are totally wonky, so there really isn't even consistency among the collection. I got an oval shaped table, a cradle, a hutch, a dresser and a console table. There was also a vanity table and a few other items that really didn't appeal to me. edit to add: They appear to have been constructed with great gobs of hot glue... I love a challenge.

shannonc60 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Sounds interesting! I am sure you can make them into something reasonable, and if not, perfect for broken attic furniture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I use the not-quite to scale stuff for children's furniture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyshalae Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Oh! That's a good idea! I've sanded everything to within an inch of its life, and took apart and reassembled the cradle into a much cuter cradle. In fact I want to grab a few more of those next time I'm there.
