It's always good to know that I'm not the only one who makes mistakes. Some of my projects take so much 'trying out' before I settle on the best one for me. I'm redecorating my old dollhouse as I've got more time in retirement now. I love watching your makes from bits and bobs into beautiful pieces. ❤

So true Lawanda! It is my rules. It seems no one follows them in my "real" house, but my dolls are much more respectful! 😂 I definitely listen to my house but what it wants I'm not always capable of providing 😂 But we work it out. Thanks for your wise comment! 🥰✨

Hello Dot, the dormitory looks great, the butterfly wallpaper is very pretty, and the doors look fantastic, it doesn't matter how you get to the end product as long as you have fun trying different things to make it work for you, trial and error is how we learn what not to do the next time 😊 Have a lovely rest of the week. Best wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊

My friend🤗 I hadn't even noticed how well the doll's dress went in the room. I had to exercise some restraint with leaving that floor plain. Since everything still seems new to me I want to "try" stuff- aging, stenciling, highlighting etc. The floor really recedes anyhow once all the other furnishings and embellishments go in. Thanks for watching and commenting😍✨

Those little doll dresses are adorable. If it was me, I would repaint the wall. I think the wallpaper detracts from the stained glass window a bit? Although in the other room it looks okay so IDK either, lol. All of it looks amazing and is so much more than I could do. I thrifted some small poodles in a basket yesterday, that is the only thing I have done this week. I tried to replace hinges on a Dora Kuhn wardrobe and it didn't work out too well so I will be trying to fix that. Always something!!

Hi Suzanne🤗 You are probably right about that wall being too busy but it will have to stay for now. 🤣 The good news is, the dorm/nursery wall will also have a transom window and will not have paper. I'll be using a light color- out of the bottle. LOL! My mom used to collect little poodle figurines, the kind from the 1950s. I'm very attracted to the Dora Kuhn furniture because it's so colorful and beautifully painted. Hinges! They are a thorn in my amateur side. Thank you for watching and for your comment 😍✨

My friend Lorraine @Serenata did a great job with hers. Do you watch her channel? A piñata! How wonderful! I LOVE piñatas.

Your tape/paint situation reminds me of an old children’s book - “Fortunately, Unfortunately.” Fortunately, you taped off your stained glass window to keep it from getting paint on it. Unfortunately, the tape inadvertently covered too much of an area. Fortunately, you solved the problem by adhering butterfly wallpaper. Unfortunately, you’re not sure if you like it! And so it goes, right? I will add … Fortunately you are talented with a great eye, so you will figure it out! 😌 Glad the doorknobs stick. I find “Diamond Glaze” really adheres well with these types of things/situations well. I use it whenever I need a 3D object to something flat, etc. I see someone also recommended E6000 glue - that’s another good glue … yet so toxic … use it when you have good ventilation and be sure to wear gloves! Love the plank floor and butterfly walls in dorm room! I have taken a break from miniatures this last week and have done other art. I’m about 1/2 done with an sculptural altered art book I’m making for a collage artist friend of mine. Having a grand time with that. Hope to finish it next week and then … back to miniatures. That means I’ll be papering and painting (another!) Triang house I got a month ago on eBay. It’s from the 60’s and I can’t wait to completely redo it. Since it’s not “so old” I’m not really concerned with authentic restoration. I’m going to do the whole house - inside and out - in Mary Engelbreit! I have some red Strombecker living room furniture for it and tons of other plans! We shall see! Enjoy the rest of the week! Can’t wait to see the parlor furniture piece! Thanks much! Kathleen

Oh my gosh! You got another Triang? You lucky girl! A ME Triang dolls house. You simply MUST send photos. Diamond glaze..interesting I think I might have some unopened in a package somewhere🤔 While you're sending photos In would love to see some of your sculptural altered artwork. I'm very excited about my "special" furniture piece for the parlour, it's been almost 6 months in my imagination and collecting what I need. I hope hope hope I can pull it off 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Well I've never heard of your charming children's book but Fortunately we're such good friends but unfortunately, we live so far apart. 😿 Thanks for all your support. Always enjoy your comments 😍✨

Oh my gosh Dot! I just LOVE that door!! I’m jealous! The little pine cones look adorable and go with the rustic feel of the doors! Don’t worry about your little “mistakes”. I say that in quotes because I really don’t think there’s any such thing as a mistake! There’s always a way to turn it around. Besides, you make us feel better about our mistakes! I like the floor, but she might consider very lightly sanding it to bring out the separation in the popsicle sticks. Just a thought! Your videos make me happy!! (I heard my name twice! I’m famous!) 💝
