In this video, I'm building a fireplace, creating faux flowers from moss, painting a chair, and accessorizing my cardboard room box. It's only 3 inches deep but it looks deeper due to a forced perspective illusion. There's enough room for a fireplace, antique looking stove, a chair and lots of accessories.

Navy beans as eggs is an adorable idea! I have used herbs as greenery but then I bought flocking at my local hobby store. I've seen people use sawdust as flocking too. You can water down some paint and mix it into the sawdust, then let it dry.

Hello Shyra, the little wooden mold seems to be a mold for butter. You can still find old ones in Europe. I saw the butter made by hand when I was a child, more than 50 years ago (glups!) and they use molds like that. And sorry, I don't know if someone else has already told you, I don't have the patience to read all the comments ;) Bravo for your work, and a big thank you for your quite and very interesting videos :)

@@queencityminis yes, I think it was a dairy farm. It was in a small village in the country. They also sold fruit pies, but it was very strange because it didn't look like a city store at all (and the butter didn't taste like city butter either). I also remember that their churn was a lying barrel, fixed on an axle, and that we kids could turn the crank :) Thanks to you too for the memories that come back :)

Just found your videos and have looked a few of them already. The wooden square thing is a butter mold. To make a block of butter looks more beautiful. The other thing what you don't know is a "stamper"(that is a Dutch word, don't know the English) They used it when they wash the clothes by hand. In a big bucket (teil in Dutch) or a very big pan, they cooked the clothes in soap-water. Because it was hot, they needed something to turn and push the clothed down. That was the wooden thing. Not for making butter, you have a buttermaker at the floor in your room.

Wow that's a lot of stuff in one video. I don't think I've ever seen a cast iron stove placed inside a fireplace hearth. A rifle over a hot stove, Just make sure that it's never loaded!! I would think maybe it'd be on the wall above the mantle. I think in my perfect imagination house in real life, I'd want both a cast iron stove, AND a fireplace with one of those swinging cast iron arms that holds a real Dutch Oven so you can cook over the fire. Real dutch ovens have recessed lids, to hold the hot coals on the top of the lid to create the "heat from above" that's needed for the oven baking effect. So you could make a soup or stew, and a loaf of bread. I forget what those things are called, that swing over. So you can tend to the pot, then swing it back over the fire. I've only seen those real Dutch ovens when camping with Boy Scouts, and they're sold at the Bos Scout stores where they have uniforms and stuff. I picked up a box of recipes for Dutch ovens there too. One time we were camping and supposed to be having Lasagna, but the man who did the shopping heard Ricotta cheese, and thought it was Cottage cheese. So it didn't turn out right. It was like lasagna flavored soup. The guys didn't know what to do, and looked at me just because I'm female they thought I could cook. I was able to season it so it tasted right, just needed a ladle to serve it. My state is trying to make gas heating outlawed. Trying to force everyone to use electric for everything, but then turning off the electricity because there isn't enough. It's just stupid upon stupid. If you have gas heating, hot water and stove, you won't freeze or starve when the power is cut. My only gas right now is the hot water heater, but even that, if it's too cold I could warm up in a hot shower. I didn't remember that the floor was sloped too. Those tiles on the back turned out really great. Good choice since they can withstand Kiln temperatures.
@queencityminis Жыл бұрын
Lasagna flavored soup 😆 That actually sounds really good... When I went to the beach over the summer, I picked through dried seaweed on the beach and found a bunch of tiny mussel shells.

Mmmm, sitting outside in my fisherman's cable knit sweater with the sea air making my hair turn into a frizzball and having bread and soup till I pop is just a whole vibe. If I get there at the right time, I can walk out on the piers as the fishing boats are coming in and pick up live crabs.

@@queencityminis I think either RGT or some other brand of dollhouses used to sell a roombox kit, and you could make one room at a time, stack them side by side or on top of each other. Eventually you end up with a house but it's kind of modular. Build as you go. I seem to remember maybe they had options for how many windows on the back wall, and if there was a doorway on the side or not (for the outside, or room to room). I wish I saved old catalogs. I probably did but no idea where they are. I just have a little 4 room house, so of course the upstairs has sloped ceiling and tiny round windows in awkward places. YOu could keep your eye on regular shelving units, like those little 4 cube shelves with the open back. You could build a back with windows or door, a Roof, maybe half garden/bbq spot, and half attic. I mean, it's basically a bookshelf.

I have started to make room boxes in cardboard book-box boxes. This way I can make holiday themes without changing over my big dollhouse and still use fun accessories. At the end of each season I can close the cover of the book and put it on the shelf disguised as a thick novel.

Also, the bed warmer resembles (to me at least) an antique waffle iron- very fitting for a kitchen scene!

Yes, the carved piece is a butter mold. The round one is a grain pestle for pounding your own flour.

I was wondering when you'd get back to this one. Your painting and aging made such a difference. Did you see Little Gretchen's video where she mixed a bit of rubbing alcohol with her acrylic paint? I thought the effect was great for aging small things. I think Jennifer Adams is right about the one carved piece being a butter mold. I think the other looks like wooden pestle to be used with a bowl instead of a mortar. Hmm...
@queencityminis Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. Aging is definitely an essential stage in something like this. I plan to take it even further by adding dust to the mantle and some dust bunnies and dirt along the edges of the room!
@queencityminis Жыл бұрын
I watch all of Little Gretchen's videos, so yes! I love her techniques. I also think it's a butter mold. That's a whole lot of butter. The other thing is probably a pestle. That makes sense.

Miter shears. I got it on Amazon. I wish I had gotten a different tool though. Bentley House Minis miter shears have replaceable blades. The blades on mine aren't replaceable and they've become really dull.

@@queencityminis Thanks for letting me know. I don't know what your financial situation is, but if you don't have a wet stone to sharpen your blade and/or you don't want to use a wet stone, Amazon is currently selling one with 2 extra blades.

@@rlwhite55 I do have a wet stone I got from Harbor Freight. I got it to use like a 1-2-3 block to weigh things down but maybe I'll learn how to use it to sharpen the blades. Thank you
