I love yout videos, they cheer me up 😊

Aw Katie, that is the sweetest comment! 🤗 Thank you so very much! 🥰✨

[@vickinoeske1154]

The pictures are SO cute and appropriate for the bathroom. Love them.😉💕🩷

[@thedollcupboard]

Thank you Vicki! 🤗 I think so too. I need to remember to go through my doll magazines more often for prints and cutouts. Hope you're having the loveliest summer day! 🥰✨

[@cat-mum-Jules]

I think you did a great job on the frames. The thought of cutting those little bits in all the right angles sends my mind in a whirl. I'd cut them all the wrong way 😂

[@thedollcupboard]

My mind was in a whirl Jules😂 I don't really understand how to go about getting it all to match up. I'm more of a "close enough" person rather than a "measure twice cut once" person 🤣 Some kinds of measuring are just physically painful, don't you think? 😘✨

[@suzanne529]

I like how you are not afraid to try!! The sink upgrades are perfect and add a lot of character. The pictures and frames turned out great. I would never have thought to frame the mirror with Bougainvillea, very clever and adds a spot of color.

[@thedollcupboard]

Hi Suzanne🤗 It was somewhat fruitless to use the bougainvillea on the frame, especially since there was barely an edge 😂 My approach is often.. "why not?". I like to try things to see how materials behave (or don't) then try them again on other things. 🥰✨

[@vickinoeske1154]

The sink is very charming.😊💜💜💜

[@thedollcupboard]

Thank you! The little pieces I added could be easily taken off if someone wanted to restore it to its original state 😳 LOL. I just love those cast iron pieces for some reason. 🥰✨

@@thedollcupboard I am making peg dolls with movable arms and legs,never made them before,they have always been a solid peg.I am living with my daughter,I have a small room so a dolls house is out of the picture.Had to give mine away,so just making tiny people for now.Love what you do,you are so clever,and your ideas are amazing.I wish I would have found your channel when I had my dolls houses. Thank you for sharing.

🎉 handy idea using a clamp to hold tiny things 😅🎉

[@thedollcupboard]

It's not often my brain works in this useful fashion, but I'm so grateful when it does. ( I'm afraid my children have turned it to mush long ago) 🤣🥰✨

[@marygatdula2744]

I think it looks great! A little detail sure can make a big difference.

[@thedollcupboard]

Thanks Mary🤗 So many details to attend to- it's so much fun! 🥰✨

[@diane64yorks]

Hello Dot, the bathroom looks great, love the pictures you've chosen, the mirror looks good with the flower petals colour around the edges, I hope Gertrude remembers how to nurse after spending months in the bath 😉 😅 love the glue bloopers 😂. Have a lovely week. Best Wishes from Yorkshire England 🇬🇧 😊

[@thedollcupboard]

Hahaha😂 I hope so too Diane. I have a new project coming up (hopefully) with some on-the-ground finds. 🤞🏻Now, if I could only get Gertrude to wear clothes. Oh well, baby steps. 😂🥰✨

[@serenata1736]

The sink looks great! So much better with the little taps etc. I need to get some of those bead things, they work so well as taps. I love dimensional magic, it makes all the difference to things. 😊

[@thedollcupboard]

Hi Lorraine! 🤗 It was so fun using that dimensional magic. I can see myself trying it some more. Is it just a resin/epoxy I wonder. I love the cast iron pieces even though they are lacking detail. The sink is definitely smaller than 1:12 (1:16 I would guess). I hope you're having a gorgeous summer day! 🥰✨

[@agneschrismer9946]

Your work does not look like amateur work. Happy that you share with us.

[@thedollcupboard]

Oh Agnes! 🤗 SO VERY KIND! 🥰✨

[@graceh8866]

Dot I think the frames were adorable I loved the octagonal one just brillant. See you think out of the box and do these really difficult pieces.I love the little puppy on the tub 💕💕💕💕. The sink came out great .The marks on the walls are from the museum wax or putty you used. I think if you prime the wall and then paint it I should do the trick. You just have to be mindful when hanging up your pictures put the wax on the picture and not the wall. Make sure your fingers are clean of wax too I’ve done a similar mistake . My walls are paper so I’m really stuck. The mirror came out too sweet I love that you use natural things. It is all lovely ,I know Gertrude loves it. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@thedollcupboard]

Hi Grace! Ya! I do put the wax on the frame vs the wall, not sure what I did there. 🤔 I was putting things up temporarily. The Matte paint and dark color didn't help. I used putty this time and a nail for the mirror but I do need to redo the wall as it looks awful with the marks 🤣 I'm glad I kept it removable. I've started to become more aware of how my sticky, gluey fingers get mess all over my projects. I'm trying to use tweezers more. Try as I might I'm just a messy kind of person🤣 My brain is always 10 steps ahead of my fingers. LOL! I'm having fun trying new things and seeing if my ideas work. 🥰✨

[@graceh8866]

@@thedollcupboard I think you did a great job . I’m just like you messy no matter how hard I try to be neat 🤣🤣😂😂

[@KimGibsonfiberlover]

What a great Reno on the sink! I can use that idea in my current upcycle project, so thank you. Play is the incubator for creativity, I love your mirror.

[@thedollcupboard]

Thank you SO MUCH Kim! 😍 I'm glad you like the mirror. I'm not sure.. I think I'd like to try the flower petals on something else. They are a little translucent and glasslike. They'd make good stained glass. Love to hear about the upcycle project you're working on. 🥰✨

[@KimGibsonfiberlover]

@@thedollcupboard I am doing 2 at once, a 1930s Nebraska house set in the 60s, in finishing phase, and a 1800s Pennsylvania house set in 1915ish...still under construction. The latter is my find of the year! But rough, really rough. I am using gator board for new walls and doors for the first time, and battery lights, and making stuff from castoffs and broken bits. I have three sinks with no faucets!

[@KimGibsonfiberlover]

@@thedollcupboard I wonder if you could use a little gesso to help with the mirror.....

Hi Julie🤗 Thank you so much my friend. Little by little... literally! Haha 😂 I like the way the mirror reflects the images on the privacy screen. 🥰✨

[@papabear2515]

Coat, I think everything you made turned out just wonderfully!!! You’re so brave cutting those frame angles ….never have I never and never will I ever! Hahha!!!!! You are so great and charmingly funny as can be! I would watch and enjoy even if you just talked and did outtakes!!!! But I’ve ever so grateful you do all of your tutorials and share about your delightful mini world! You are just the best! Sending hugs from the coolness of the forest here in Idaho - although it actually reached 99 in the sun ☀️ here this afternoon (!!???!!!😳😳😳???!!!!). Never has it ever done that in July! Scary! ❤ Kathleen

[@thedollcupboard]

Oh Kathleen, you are SO SWEET AND KIND to me ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ❤️ Believe me, the way my videos should go is 15 min of mistakes and errors with an outtake of a finished project. LOL. If you were to ask me how I went about cutting those angles I would have no idea what to tell you. I actually feel my brain get stuck with some measuring issues. I just console myself with a "close enough". 😂 Ooh, you're in the forest? Very cool! 99 is pretty hot 🥵 We're near the coast (but in enough to escape constant fog) and mostly in the 70s. 80s is my ideal. Thank you for being such a good friend and spurring me on. I wouldn't be able to do it without the support here in YT. There is no one in my immediate world here to share my love of minis. My husband thinks I'm nuts. 😂 Lots of love to you! 😘🥰✨

[@1finepieceofglass]

Great job, Dot! Any time I need to make something that is flat that I want to really hold it's shape while it's drying (like a frame), I use a stained glass assembly trick. I put my pieces onto cardboard or foam board, then use sewing pins around the edges to keep them where i put them😉 I still wouldn't have been brave enough to try that octagon, though! Excellent job!!

[@thedollcupboard]

Well isn't that just a splendid idea! 🤗 I hope I can get my brain to remember that 🤣 Do you make stained glass? When think about making something, my brain says, how hard can that be? Then my fingers say, really hard! 😂 Thank you so much for your encouragement! 🥰✨

[@1finepieceofglass]

@@thedollcupboard I started doing stained glass about 20 years ago. Started out with copper foil method, then learned to make my own patterns, then mosaic, then learned leaded. Never got a chance to do hot glass work with a kiln, though. I don't do near as much as I used to, but it's definitely a skill set that I like having in my wheelhouse. 😁

I am slowly getting quite a collection of Kilgore pieces- they are 1:16 and I like larger scales, but they are so nice I decided to go for it. Like you, I am a 1930's fan so Kilgore is great. I also have a pair of Tootsie Toy beds, 1:16 also, so I am designating them toddler beds.Cast iron toys have that sweet innocent child look about them.

[@thedollcupboard]

How wonderful M 🤗! I do love the Kilgore and other cast iron pieces. The other houses I have are 1:16. I would love to find more pieces. 😍✨

[@maroulio2067]

@@thedollcupboard I hope you do find some. I purchased a few on eBay- I find that there are lots of doll house items listed there that are usually a better buy than Etsy. We live a distance from stores so paying shipping comes to less cost than traveling.
