It is so rare that I see an authentic aged dollhouse filled with lovely old things. And it is not a fancy museum piece, children have actually owned and played with this house. It is soo beautiful and you have made a great job with cleaning and redecorating it ❤ Beautiful video also, so relaxing, great job thank you for sharing.

The beautiful mother daughter relationship is a precious experience listening to their dialog. It warms my heart, thank you!

I think you did the former owners would be proud of how you restored their old dollhouse ❤.

Ladies, the copper bowl on legs that you said “you never knew what it was” is actually an old world Sicilian piece called a brascera and it was the best way to warm up a room if there was no fireplace. It was a basin made of copper and brass (or iron), inside which the embers were placed so that it gave heat and spread it throughout the room. Sicilians would refer to it as a conca.. With regards to your beautiful whimsical dolls house, it’s has been a treat to watch you both delight in its restoration…you both possess the gift of story telling, your imaginations brimming and alive, the artistry directly from your hearts, completely tangible and resulting in a symphony of visual beauty, always accompanied by quaint melodious well chosen music. Watching your videos, one is left in a complete state of relaxation. What a gorgeous pair you are, generously gifting your remarkable talents to us all. We, your viewers are blessed to witness the bond and loving amicability you both share. Best wishes for all future endeavours…from me, Aurora 😊

A dolls house film is never too long. Thank you!

Imagine how happy the original owner is as she and her companions smile from heaven watching you! Just very lovely, many thanks for brightening my day.

I am BEYOND JEALOUS. As a heart/kidney patient I am disabled at age 59 & my joy is making miniature items for dollhouses. This is beyond beautiful.

I appreciate that you look at your dollhouses through a child's eyes! A child would have used bits and bobs from around the house to decorate so items would not be completely "in scale". A house this age would have naturally aged- furniture and linens would have faded, pots and pans rusted. Have you ever considered doing a tour of your home?!?! I would imagine you have some amazing decor!

My grandfather who built my Aunt a doll house when she was small. I played with it as a child. Back then it was pretty shabby but still.loved. My grandmother got cancer when I was 20 and my Aunt and grandmother started repairing it. My grandmother was very ill and helped sew new sofa covers, blankets and such. It was hard losing my Gran but I know that spending time with her daughter and talk of times past helped the time she pass the time she had. My Aunt took the doll house home for grand daughter. I hope it gets passed to her daughter and so on. I love that you are restoring this dollhouse., and keeping a lot of the original detail. ❤❤❤

This is pure ASMR. I struggled to keep my eyes open with the quit voices and soothing quiet music. I love it.

I was having anxiety tonight and feeling lonely. Thank you for the.video. I love the content and your voices and light music is so soothing. It really helped me feel less lonely and more relaxed.

I am in the middle of watching your video and I just had to stop and make a few comments, one is how wonderful to get a old doll house and the furnishings. The cloves are great because they were used to keep bugs and mice out of the doll house, often moms would make little satchels like pillows filled with herbs and such not just to keep things smelling fresh bug to keep critters out of things, it was a discreet way of doing things. Thanks to you ladies I have reconnected with the miniature world! I have looked up so many videos on making miniature furniture and dishes, food and housing I am so astonished how much is out there that can be made so easily and cheaply! I grew up with brothers who built model cars and planes and trains and to this day my eldest brother makes dioramas for his models and has a group on FB but he didn't do like doll house miniatures, but like train sets and building to scales so It is a new addition to learning miniatures that I am grateful for. I sadly admit I never had my own dolls as a child, It was tough in those days. So this could be in a way making up for things now as a adult. :) Bless you both!

I think all the generations of children who have enjoyed playing in this beautiful doll’s house, would absolutely approve of everything you have both done in the restoration of it. You have kept it in the true spirit of what it was originally made to be …. Something to keep children occupied on rainy days & Sundays …. & at other times too. Love it. Dwyllis (in New Zealand) …

You both did a very sensitive and artistic restoration. There are few museum curators that could do better! Too many old houses are ruined by new paper and paint! The history shows and makes this an extra special treasure. Thank you again for some of the most beautiful footage on KZfaq.

Ladies the doll house turned out beautifully. It is so relaxing watching you decorate, I can imagine that it is much more so doing it in person. Thank you for sharing this lovely doll house with us!

Removing the paper might cause damage to the wood due to its age, so I think that you did the best thing. What I like about these vintage/antique houses is that you don't pay much attention to scale - if it fits, or looks right, you just pop it in. With modern dh's and miniatures, so much of it revolves around getting the scale right. With the living room, I think it's a case of having too many miniatures and not enough room for them all.

What a great little "documentary" u guys made! I love the narration! Great choice in music! (I also enjoyed the cat scenes! Lol) And what a lovely gift to hand down to the grandchildren AND when they get to watch this video (40yrs from now) and see everything u guys did together! How fun and magical making, creating and preserving fantastic memories! What a blessing it is!!! 🥰

Sunny is such a good helper 😊😻

So 33:21 is actually a tiny replica of an incense holder, used for Catholic mass or other orthodox services. There were a few other orthodox items I spotted that came with this house too (paintings mostly).

Absolutely love love love this entire house!!! An idea for you pantry: use some tiny mesh to wrap your ham in, then hang it on the ceiling, maybe from a wire rack that you could hang other foodstuffs on.

I’m so glad that you have kept all of the original piece from this doll house. You both have done an amazing job. You have brought this house back to life❤️with such loving and steady hands.🥰

I absolutely LOVE this dolls house. The mismatched, found object, vintage, handmade, pre-loved feel is so charming. My dolls houses are all handmade by me. But this makes me want to search ebay for house like this for myself. What a fabulous way to spend the afternoon. watching you bring this house to life again. And happy belated birthday Kate!

Beautiful to watch … I’m a miniaturist myself so I love and appreciate all the work and restoration you did on this lovely dollhouse, or as you say dolls house! ❤

Hello Fleur and Kate, I've been really looking forward to this special video on your Charleston House. I have two Lines dolls houses myself and love them so much. This has made my evening now, I'm going to make a cuppa and relax and enjoy this. Waving to you from Ireland ☘

I just retrieved my doll house that was made originally for my mother by my uncle. Over a hundred years old. Watching your videos give me guidance on where to begin. I just had my 59 birthday so its been a while since I've played with it. I can't wait to begin.

I LOVE this! It is beautiful and the fact that it is so full of precious things makes it even more so. I'm so glad that you didn't choose to "false" age the planters because they will be a wonderful addition to the true history of this house...90 years from now they will have aged naturally and they will be the addition to her history that you have added. So well done, ladies! (Google the doll house of "Dr Ruth" and you will see another full and beautifully mis-matched dollhouse. Phooey to the ones who want you to make things look new and less embellished!)

All this time I couldn't find the word that describes how dollhouses make me feel..Winsome!! That's it!! ❤️

What a marvellous job you've made of this house. I absolutely understand why you like to keep things as they are...it's preserving the history and it's lovely to think that some little person played with it in the past just the way you've kept it. If it had gone to a museum, they would have kept it exactly as it is, so you're doing a grand job. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the 1940s house now 😊

That weird lamp you bought off of eBay and put in the living room is not a lamp at all. It's a miniature church incense burner ❤

What a lovely film! I hope you both had as much pleasure watching back and commenting on your work as I did listening to you and enjoying the peaceful process! Thank you!! kindest regards, k

I remember when you found this dollhouse. I haven't found the perfect one yet, so I have to settle for rooms made out of cardboard boxes until I find the exact perfect one for me. 😊

My favourite video. My favourite room is the garden room.

What I love most is a mother and daughter making memories together that will last a lifetime. My daughter and I would shop for Renwal plastic dollhouse furniture. Before she was born I created items from wood, dry goods, etc. You are commended for restoring this dollhouse. I love looking for goodies throughout the house. 💕👏🏼

Old woman who lived in a shoe kept coming to mind wow good job

I would love to live in that house. It's so cosy

I just made candles out of the small glue sticks, I colored them with a sharpie and put a pretend wick in them they look awesome!!! The colored sharpie left them beautifully translucent.

🎉what a beautiful old house. I have an old house that I brought 2nd hand at a boot fair for £50 about 30 ish years ago. It's story unknown when I got it but its obviously handmade .its huge and 1 of our cats had her kittens in the lounge room. She had 5 kittens we found her a cosy bigger box but she would insist taking her babies back to the house lil monkey but in the end we left her to it. Lol then our other cat had her kittens in our bathroom as the kittens got mobile 1 of them managed to fall in the toilet so we had to keep him poor little thing we warmed towels in the drier and I named him louie I thought that fitting as he fell in the loo so the rest of all the babies were rehomed. I'm going to call the house kittens lodge and hopefully write a story about it .what do you think? Xx

I love the aesthetic of this doll house. It is as if it was rediscovered now after last being played with decades ago. I love the sense of age the doll house and its contents have. It's like a glimpse into the life of the child who last played with it. I'm glad you choose not to make it look brand new. Delightful!

I cannot express how much joy your videos have brought me in very tough times…I think they do because of the sincere love you both show for each tiny, lovely piece of whimsy. This is a loved house-it was clearly loved before you got it, it is now blessed with your love, and you have sent to out to be loved by the world! Thank you.

Stunning restoration Fleur and Kate! Thank you so much!!

The Dolly at the front makes Charleston House look very Gone with the wind.... lovely and so relaxing watching you put it all together

Love this. The thimble and small boot looks like Monopoly game pieces, which is no longer part of the game now. I have that same ,"carpet" in the living room. I believe it was a hot pad for hot dishes one time. I don't know the age but it is pretty old. I would have put the extra dishes in the biscuit tin so you'd have more room under the dresser. All is so beautiful and a delight to watch.

Really lovely. A perfect little dream world.

fantastic work in lovingly restoring this gorgeous old dolls house. painting the missing wall papers was the way to go & looks very well done. all the artwork for the walls are very cool. the furnishing of ea. rm. wouldn't be the same w/out them. the drop-leaf kitchen table is perfect. i'm going to ask my husband to recreate it for my dolls house. love all the kitty pets. i hope u don't mind, but i screenshot Sunny lounging in one of the rooms & plan to print it for my art journal. he's so cute. thanx for another very enjoyable film.

That is harder than spring cleaning in your own house! Oh my a lot of work. You two are so patient and do such a good job. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

What a labor of love. ❤🩷💜 Perfect February 💝 episode!

At 14:36 there is a reflection in the mirror. A curly haired bust of a girl. Could it be the "little girl" who snuck in from the past to watch you redecorate her house? Thank you for sharing this beautiful dollhouse with us.

Hello Ladies from Mason Ohio USA. You did a wonderful job.😊

I had forgotten how much I adored a dolls house as a child until watching the two of you. I had a distant Aunt that had one that I was allowed to admire but not touch. I’ve been inspired by you two and Ara Bentley to start making doll furniture and plan to make a dolls house of a grandfather clock. It will take forever I’m sure but having so much fun. Thanks for the inspiration

🙋‍♀️❤️. I'm having a lot of fun watching you two bring your doll house back to life. Sipping my tea on a cold February evening, just you two, Sunny cat, me and all the friends. 🏡🌠

Will never forget mudmas and opening fairy acorns gifts. A fantasy world to me, real life for you!

What an absolutely stunning doll's house! Well done!

I have had a smile on my face ever since I started watching this video. I love this. I want to do one for my granddaughter when she is a little older.

An absolutely perfect result! My favorite thing is the wallpaper, the designs, the worn patches and faded areas, its too good! And the way you decorated everything, so whimsical and cozy, I love a slightly cluttered but well ordered dollhouse, it's so fascinating, you can look at it for hours. ❤ The bedding is adoable, I love it all.

Thank you Fleur and Kate, I could have continued watching for hours! I have the same house, just finished its restoration and have gained so much inspiration from you both. Thank you for this marvellous video and looking forward to all the ones to come xx

It was so relaxing watching and listening to you both. Love the House, let's have more of them please.

You ladies are amazing 😊 I can’t think of two more talented mother and daughter to bring this antique doll house back to life than you two. ❤ You have done a fantastic job 😍 TFS I enjoy listening to you both and the stories you tell has you put the items in their place. 💕

The dollhouse cleaned up so well. Such a pretty dollhouse and SO many amazing and adorable accessories. ❤🏠❤😊❤

Thanks for sharing such a precious treasure. Glad to see someone enjoy this doll house and appreciate it as if it was yesterday.

Excellent work. I loved when you did the living room, moving everything back and forth, over and over. It reminded me of the Borrowers when they moved into the cottage in the model village and Homily had Pod move everything over and over until she thought it was just right and Pod told her that it was all back to where it had started!. Looking forward to the next stage of the Borrowers' clock house, and also the 1940''s house. Just a thought though, that a lot of the things they had would have probably have been obtained in the 30's, if not earlier.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I’ve loved your video so much. I have 4 dolls houses and you both have been so inspirational. Thank you ladies x

A beautiful doll house decorated with love💕 I think "micro movements" are essential for doll house decorating! I agree, doll houses are never finished 🏡

Yes, I am so happy for this video! Been waiting but I knew this would take quite a while!

Amazing is not a good enough word what you both do. It takes a special person to be this creative. I wouldn’t know how to transport them but they need to be shown off to the public in some gallery. Maybe one day! I enjoy you both and feel close to you both. I wish you all the best with your next endeavor. Thank you again for making a woman with depression so happy to see your channels!

Absolutely charming!❤️

It’s good to see you both working together on the dolls house, such a great mum and daughter team. I never get tired of watching the two of you no matter what you are upto 😊 xx

Stunning work ladies. I could have watched for hours. You inspired me to buy a dolls house and I had to pack it up last week as I’m moving house. You have inspired me to rearrange it when I get to my new house, I can’t wait. I wish I had more vintage pieces like you do.

I love your style of making it look lived in. Things are not new and shinny a bit macabre with a "well loved" patina on everything. Whimsical yet realistic.🥰

I think this video is right up there as a favorite of all the ones you have made. It is so satisfying to see its completion/restoration. I love that you care about the dolls and that you showcase them. I always love to have many dolls in my dollhouses. I look forward to seeing your other houses or watching all your videos again. Thanks so much. I think my real house is sort of decorated like this. It’s an 1864 Victorian and I am looking right now at three dollhouses from differ eras. So fun.

My dear friend’s husband, a space engineer, liked a building in Europe so much, so he took loads of pictures of it. Came home and figured out the measurements, and built it from scratch! 🤯 it’s an absolutely gorgeous yarn shop for his wife decorated for Christmas. It’s stunning. And a great work of a genius man. 🩷

This is such a beautiful thing for you and your mother to do together. It’s so sweet and it’s a precious memory that you’ve saved on video forever.

Many years ago, I worked with a gentleman whose wife was very much into miniature items. She made her own items from Bread dough then paint them and lacquer them. Just saying so if you very need items for you doll house you could give it a try. Worked very well and last a very long time, if not a lifetime. Use baked bread the inside portion.

You both did a beautiful job washing and painting the house ! Doing the rooms was amazing!

I don't know how many doll houses you have now but you might have to start a museum

This turned out so well. I am so glad this doll house and all of the furnishings went to the two of you. It would have been such a shame if it had been changed refinished and refurnished. Everything you added fit in so well. I am really looking forward to your next doll house and to see the things you make yourselves. I can hardly wait.

That was totally blissful ladies. What a fantastic job you did renovating the house, but keeping it looking a bit worn. I loved that you didn't mess with it too much. Keeping its character and charm...without all the dusty grime. How adorable did the house look at the end. I too loved those hand made dolls. How lovely they are. I also loved the little chinese dolls you sat on the stairs. Awe and little fancy pants. I'm glad you saved those. They made me giggle. A perfect home, full of food, flowers and pets to cuddle, plus comfy beds to rest in. That was so enjoyable to watch. Thank you. 😊 xxx

You have such soothing voices and personalities_ purest of gems. Beautiful restoration, gorgeous cat. Look forward to the day Kate gets her real life country cottage and starts to decorate it. Hope I survive to see it.

That weird lamp also looks like the Moroccan lamp souvenir eccentric Uncle Henry gave my grandparents from one of his journeys. Didn't go with anything else but we all loved it.

Great work, I love how you bring the house alive with all the furniture and treasures. Can just imagine the inhabitants going about their daily lives.

All daughters and mums should have a doll house lovely to have being in your own little world is wonderful.

This is just a wonderful video, I redress unwanted/unloved porcelain dolls. The majority of the work I do is assembly and hand-sewn clothing The period I focus on is the European Renaissance 1500-1600. Total respect for all the time and love you put into cleaning and restoring this doll house to a better condition. Dust is much more damaging than many people think to collectibles. My husband and I have many and we have plans for many curio cabinets for my dolls and his miniature armies. It's lovely to see the Doll's House being treasured, well done!

I have always wanted a doll house to restore. This is also so very touching thinking about the original little girl that must have adored her beautiful little play things. I remember that wax being called Mr. Mole’s Sticky Wax. I prefer things being homemade and they don’t have to be to scale. It’s fun to be inventive and use your imagination.

The house is beautiful, I enjoyed the video. Thank you ❤ I don't understand why people are critical of your style, that amazes me. Your style is the reason we all watch your channel and enjoy your content. Stay as wonderful as you are.

I love that you both love and care for these heirlooms. Wonderful dollhouse!

Fantastic find, that's got to be rare and with all the inside contents almost makes this grown man want one. 😊

I love the little “secret” nook under the stairs❤

I love that you leave how the home is when you adopt it alone. You clean and preserve and protect. And I love how you fill the houses with found and loved and worn pieces. And scale doesn’t matter. Your style in decorating is my favorite. A legacy dollhouse. I love that. I adopt and find the unloved doll houses too. Or people’s dollhouses that nobody in their family wants. I love this house so much!

I love how you dress your houses , they look so cosy and comfortable , I don't have that knack when doing mine .

That was an amazing video of your awesome dolls house and all 5he things you have done.Thank you so much for sharing it was awesome

Hi I Look so forward to your Shows, Love Charleston House, Yes a Dollhouse is a Progress, it takes awhile to finish, but its a Masterpiece🙋‍♀️🌞😁💥💯

I am experiencing one of the most difficult times in my life. Just struggling To find peace and contentment in anything is a struggle. These videos are God sent. Thank you so much for posting these. They are so soothing that I have to watch them before bed❤️

Oh my goodness, ladies!! I'm totally amazed at the beauty you have produced, as well as the fun you had doing it. As much as I love the master bedroom, I'm going to agree with Fleur and say the room with flowers and tea party is my favorite. But I love it ALL!!! Take care, be safe in your travels and always stay true to yourselves. Love ya!!

I have had a gruelling day working at a call centre - this is the perfect unwinding, thank you so much! Love everything, subtle colours of the vintage wallpaper and especially the doll with the tiny frozen Charlotte. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your passion with us, I am struggling with my dolls house it is about ten years old but I now know that I would like an old one to get the right atmosphere, you both work miracles I loved every minute of the video,Gail 💕

I really love what you ladies did to this house, its beautiful. You put so much work and love into it 💕

This was so full of peace. You can sense the dollhouse's past life. It took me on a wondrous journey through time. Thank you for sharing.

Stunning dollhouse!! Absolutely loved watching. It was therapeutic. Great job Fleur and Kate. ♥️

Thank goodness you don’t want to trash the historic wallpaper, etc on your houses…I love what you do. The people who want new should go over to the plastic Barbie houses…

Such a lovely way to pass a Saturday afternoon. You two are so inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful dollhouse!❤

Just re-watching this again. It is so calming to watch your love for the details, your appreciation of old things and your calm and gentle dialogue. So cozy, peaceful and so very special. You two are unique gems. Love and greetings from Augsburg, Germany. ❤
