The little curio looks so Art Deco, even more so with the paper you chose for the lining on the back! I am just getting started with dabbling with a dollhouse and accessories and furniture. I am finding I like the old pieces of furniture very much. I have repaired a few pieces and find that the old glue is very tenacious!! I am enjoying your videos!

Wow! Each of these pieces turned up out great! I do so love the little cabinet you put the “glass” in! It’s shape is such fabulous! I remember your video when you got these. They’re all so sweet! I was working in my Triang house today. All of the walls were painted 😕 so I decided to try something different. I decoupaged napkins onto the walls of the living room (as wallpaper)! So far, it looks pretty good! If it ultimately turns out fine, I will do the other walls in each of the rooms as such. There are such amazing napkins out there! With the Triang house being 1:16, it doesn’t take but a couple of napkins or less to do the whole room! I love it! Like you, I love to find 1:16 furniture! There are such sweet pieces on eBay from England, but the darn postage is crazy! Even so, I bought my Triang house from England via eBay and didn’t feel its postage was as crazy. Strange! Thanks for the video! Have fun decorating! Hugs, Kathleen

Hi Kathleen🤗 I was thinking about using napkins too for my "dormitory". What design did you choose? I noticed lots of napkins at Target. Where did you find yours? Did you use mod podge? I bought my Triang from the UK also. Shipping wasn't much different than East coast to California. Good luck finding any English houses in the US! Furniture too- lady luck plays a huge role. I browse ebay uk as much as usa. Not everyone ships to usa, a you know, so it gets painful 🤣 My Triang has partial original papers so I'm torn on what to do. Does yours have floor paper or did you do something else? 😍✨

@@thedollcupboard Hi! I don’t know where I found the napkins …I’ve had them for years. The ones I put in the kitchen walls yesterday are an ecru color with red and light green vertical “ribbons” (wavy lines), with bits of red here and there. I think they may have originally been for Xmas even though they don’t scream Xmas. I have some small flowered napkins I hope to use in the bathroom. The house does have original flooring paper in 2 rooms, so I will need to cover the other room floors. On my other smaller Triang house, I used scrapbook paper for the walls and floors and I’m really like how that turned out overall. Not sure what I do on the floors this time. What are you going to do/use in your floors? I did use mod podge - on the napkined walls. When I go out to my little studio,later this morning, if the walls still look good, I will likely put a coat of mod podge over them. So far, I’ve just modpodge on the walls and adhered the napkins to the walls - hope that makes sense! I used to look at ebay across the pond and saw how few sellers actually ship to USA 😫! So, now, I rarely look anymore as it makes me drool - and feel sad!!!! Lol!!! However, it’s always fascinating to see the furniture pieces and houses! Wow!!! I just bought a little stove and frig (strombecker) off USA eBay - they’re a little rough - but I actually like that! On the lookout now for a 1:16 sink. I know you know “the hunt!” If I can figure this out, I’ll send you a couple pics of my smaller Triang house and what I’ve done thus far. Can’t wait to see yours! That furniture of yours from yesterday ….so perfectly perfect, right? Hugs, en

Dorothy! 🤗 How right you are! And how unorganized I am. I did think to do that at one point🤣 I have no central craft area and all my supplies are strewn throughout the house. When I work on something I go from room to room collecting supplies and bringing them to a central area. Then of course I need other things and it's a crazy up and down game. Everytime I thought of tape I got up went to the other room and promptly forgot why I was there. So I just poured myself coffee instead. 🤣🤣🤣😍✨

Hello Dot, you did a marvellous job with the furniture, it all turned out beautifully, those stain pens are really useful, low tack masking tape comes in really handy when glueing mini furniture together if you can't or dont want to clamp it, elastic bands are good too, or hair bobbles as we call them over here, I've used them a few times for smaller things when I don't want clamp marks. Is the dorm room tall enough to put an upper floor in ? you could make a sort of mezzanine for a bathroom if it is, so you dont lose too much floor space you could put a fake door on the back wall instead of a staircase on both levels, Best wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧😊

Hi Diane🤗 The dorm is tall enough for a mezzanine but I'm reluctant. My construction skills are poor at best. My ideas are starting to solidify so I think I have a plan. I'm not so keen on the grunt work but alas it must be done. Fingers crossed. LOL 😍✨

Often in real size furniture the back feet/legs of case furniture is different from the front. Back legs are simpler and more of a support element.

I can! When I remember LOL. 🤣 These pieces were pretty fragile and even if I had appropriate clamps they might have been too strong. Next time a little more glue and a little tape might help me a lot. 😍✨
