Dollhouse Redecorating Disaster: How redecorating my dollhouse made me cry!

[@RichMiniatures]

Hi there, I just wanted to say how nice it is to see a local gal (UK resident) doing dollshouse videos on here! I've been doing KZbin for some years now (wackiwear) and like you, I've always wanted to show folk when things go wrong, just to show them that none of us are perfect 😁 I don't know if you watch other folks channels, but I try to give lots of tips as much as possible, so maybe if you flick through any of mine, it might help you for ideas to continue your journey and pick up the odd tip here and there, as I love trying to help others in this magical miniature world we create. Hope you're still enjoying YOUR journey! 🙏😁 Keep safe Richard

I love this video! So often we only see a before and after online, but not all the bumps in the road. I really appreciate that you acknowledge the cost of supplies (maybe they’re not expensive for professional content creators, but for most of us, it’s a hobby and resources are limited) and the emotions that come with “wasting” something expensive or valuable time. I have felt so silly getting frustrated and almost tearful at the simple little dollhouse I’m building (that was SUPPOSED to be inexpensive, but I think I’ve put about $50 into it now). The biggest part of the problem, I think, is having time and space limits, as well as constraints from my disability, but some of it is that I see all the successes of others who make it look easy, but not all the failures that led up to the successes or the advantages others may have (different tools available, different budgets, steady hands and a better grip, and, probably most importantly, experience!). I really appreciate your honesty and willingness to share not just your finished work, but the challenging journey to get there. I feel like the next time I work on my dollhouse, I’ll be able to laugh off more of my mistakes more instead of taking them to heart and becoming discouraged. Thank you!

I actually like this video because no one shows the “mistakes”. This way i can avoid extra pains. Thanks!

I feel your pain. I thought dolls house/miniatures would be gentle & relaxing too, that doesn't happen very often yet....😁

Murphy's Law must have been written with dollhouse miniatures in mind, but rest assured that these kinds of frustrations are par for the course for just about everybody be they rookie, a seasoned miniaturist and everyone in between, so keep calm and carry on. You're doing GREAT! 😊

Thanks for sharing. It's like sewing - There is always a point (or two) where it is better to step away and come back later rather than continue on in frustration!

I loved your video. I too am just starting this world of dollhouses. I know I will be facing many challenges, but you gave me hope. You didn't give up. I look forward to seeing your dollhouse as you progress.

I think you did a great job but I totally understand where you're coming from. I'm a perfectionist too so sometimes it's hard to leave things as they are.

[@oceansjemsjacq2727]

Thank you for this. Great for novices like me ;)

You poor thing! I totally understand your color dilemma. My husband bought me a new dollhouse built for Christmas. They used hot glue on most of it, and it falls apart. It is stressful, I’m trying to decide if I should take it apart or go with it and fix it as it falls apart. 🙄 And painting it is so much harder built! I decided to use card stock wallpaper and just use glue dots so I can change it if I want. BUT I don’t want to add interior trim to the card stock. 😂 always issues to overcome! Thanks so much for sharing. 💜

Thank you for your comment and good luck with your decorating! Glue dots are a great choice for attaching wallpaper! x

It's a good job ur a bit like me I want it finished like yesterday lol that's why I have many hobbies and I rotate so if I get frustrated I can walk away for a while

[@minimodelworld8340]

That's really good advice! I had to have a break after this one and find my love for miniatures again!
