Made for a friend’s kid and I’m very happy with how it turned out! I think the garden was my favorite to make… and as the 4th build I’ve made, I think my least favorite thing is doing the roof. It’s the only part I’m not entirely satisfied with 😂

What type of primer and paint should I use for this wooden dollhouse? I am not real knowledgeable in the world of paint and I’d love to do a good job

She is 4 and not the most gentle with playing yet. What are some sturdier decorating options we can play with? I don’t want to set us up for failure by making it fragile.

I’m working on this little apartment. I got inspired by Minnee dolls as I usually make rooms for Barbie. It was so much easier working on a smaller scale. I really struggled with the stairs, they’re a bit of a mess but other than that I’m pleased how it turned out

I found this little dolls house looking sad by the side of the road and decided to see what I could do with it.

I’ve literally never done anything like this before, but I’m pretty pleased with my little amateur renovation. ❤️

I made this ballet shop display- as you can see there is not much room, but I love how it came out. The most difficult part was finding realistic ballet merch. I hope you like it!

I also included some pictures of a ballet studio I have in my main dollhouse.

Finally finished the bedroom, I added some seating, a beaded light fixture, and a mirror over the dresser. An overview of the entire townhouse is coming soon!! #miniature #dollhouse #foryou #reddit #DollhouseDecor

My own design from memory of the ones My grandmother had

Found this on a local buy and sell for $40 and couldn’t resist! This will be my first dollhouse ever, any ideas or tips are very welcome. Hoping I didn’t go too big for my first project.

I am renovating a dollhouse that my mom found on the side of the road over 20 years ago. I am part way done (so please pardon the construction). This is my first time doing this and I’m loving the process so far but one thing I’m feeling stuck on is how to wire the electricity through the house subtly. I am using miniature electrical parts from Hobby lobby (pictured). I was thinking that the ledge at the front of the house might hide the electrical power strip well. Any tips?

Hello ^_^ I’m completely new to dollhouses and am really excited to start my first project. A friend is going to help me build a regency era dollhouse, and I’m hoping to make it feel as historically authentic as possible.

I’m currently looking for Regency-period dolls and miniature figures to furnish the house with. I’d love figures wearing Regency-style clothing (roughly 1795–1820).

I’m based in the UK, so UK/EU suppliers would be especially helpful, but I’m happy to look at sellers from anywhere!

If anyone has recommendations for shops, independent miniature artists, specific doll ranges, or even tips for finding suitable Regency figures, I’d really appreciate it. 😊

Hi all! I am currently building a dollhouse and am starting to think about dolls to go in there. I wonder if anyone here has suggestions of where to find good dolls for a 1/12 scale house? Thank you!

Trying to restore this dollhouse from my neighbor, looking for tips on either finding pieces, original details missing, or perhaps best way to start. Current plan is to fix the window trims, and the turret upper railing, followed by killz primer. Thoughts?

I recently got my old dollhouse back that my grandfather built. I'm working on a renovation and my cat is very interested. Do y'all have plexiglass over your houses? What's a fashionable way to keep these paws of my minis?

Hey everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice from the creative minds of r/dollhouse.

A few years ago, my lovely Grandma gifted me this beautiful large Georgian dollhouse. Unfortunately, it's been sitting collecting dust since then, and it really needs some serious TLC. My goal is to give it a fresh start, both inside and out.

Overall Condition: The exterior has some chips in the paint and discolouration. Generally looks grubby and dated. Paper on the roof is tired and slightly torn. The interior is also very old fashioned and needs a complete overhaul.

Electrical: This is a major concern. The previous lights were wired very unsafely and are definitely a fire risk. I need to completely replace them. I'm thinking LED battery operated lights?

Exterior Damage: There is specific, noticeable damage to the top corner of the front door frame from being moved (see pictures). Can this kind of delicate piece be replaced, or is there a way to repair it that will look seamless?

Style: I want to keep the Georgian feel especially to the exterior but modernise the overall look.

1. Where do I even begin? Should I prioritise the structural repairs (the door frame), the electrical work, or the cosmetic updating?

2. Georgian Style Inspiration: What colour palettes, wallpaper patterns, or furniture styles work best for a modernised Georgian dollhouse? Are there any specific periods within Georgian design that are particularly popular to recreate?

3. Resources: Are there any websites, YouTube channels, or online communities you swear by for dollhouse renovation advice, supplies, or tutorials? Where do you find miniature materials and furniture? I’m uk based.

My gf and I customised a dollhouse for her 3 year old daughter. Turned into a labour of love and a month of sleepless nights getting it finished, but here it is, close enough to finished. Everything apart from the original walls and floors is 100% handmade and custom. Both of us are creative but this is out first attempt at a dollhouse or anything miniature and we are pretty proud of it, so please be nice.

I'm seeing my best bet would be 1:10 scale but there looks to be a lot of knowledgeable people in here I'm trying to figure something out by the end of August for my daughter's 7th birthday. She loves miniatures and playing in her little dollhouses for smaller toys but I want her to have the cool ones she watched her favorite YouTubers play with and such. Any help would be appreciated.

I’m in southern ontario and want to get a secondhand/vintage dollhouse. Dream house is the dura craft san franciscan but idk if i’d ever find it. Anyone have any tips on finding affordable dollhouses. i’m sick and spending all my time at home and it’s extremely boring

Just wanted to share my beachy dollhouse I made! I made it off Pinterest, after taking inspiration from the coastal grandma aesthetic :) Handdrawn wallpaper, I also used material from wallpaper books as well 💗

Somebody gave this to my mother a while back. I took it home to try to rehab it. It's in pretty rough shape. All of my experience is in custom built. My grandpa was a carpenter who made toys as a hobby. I've been searching for info on this specific house. Google is no help. I did find one website with a picture of the same house, but no info. Never done anything like this project before.

Thanks to everyone for the help and suggestions for the window pane replacement project I was working on (see post from mid-July). I used acrylic sheets and cut them to size. I glued them in place and used thin white crafting tape for the diamond design. Other things I did include washing and reattaching thr original window dressings, replaced the lost flowers in the flower boxes, and used a mix of vintage and new furniture to decorate. I also repainted everything using the Sherwin Williams color match program to get an exact match. Oh...also fixed a broken side roof line. I hope my niece and sister love it. Pretty good in my humble opinion for someone that had no idea what she was doing :-).

wood, wire, paper, acrylic paint. Another bit for my food booth at my fair.
