[@sheilahballard1039]

So amazing! You could decrate a full size house for me any day of the week. Your talent is apparent. I thoroughly enjoyed the video, thank yu for posting.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thank you so much :) I would love to :) I started a new channel kzbin.info/door/vafCqmetsZnClhOEuZ7V2Q I'll be posting thrift store makeovers, room makeovers... human size :) will be starting to post more often soon, hopefully when the quarantine is over :) thanks so much for watching and commenting.

Tbh I just came here because My World shared it with her followers, but OMG you are *so* talented, you just gained a new follower for *life*

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Wow, thank you so much, definitely thanking Melissa :) you are soooooo sweet :)

[@bluebyyoufu]

I have binged watched probably ten of these to-gothic dollhouse makeovers in the several hours last day and this was by far the best! The imagination and creativity is astounding.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

WOW! no way! cool, thank you soooooo much :) you just made my day :) you're awesome!

[@DaliaStar89]

Very gothic, I like that. The purple door was a nice touch.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thank you so much! I love how it turned out, it was made for a doll series for Monster High, but that series has ended and I'm doing more Barbie related stuff, so I was thinking of giving it another makeover for a barbie family... what do you think? I do have a few other old dollhouses that need makeovers, maybe i'll do those first :)

[@DaliaStar89]

@@GingerLolaMiniatures Hmm, hard to say, since I just recently found your channel, but I do like the old diys you've done :) Sure, if you feel like updating interiors, I'd say go for it, up to you :)

[@DaliaStar89]

I do like Victorian style/old/retro etc in general, since old things appeal to me more than modern, but it too has its own good in it, of course :)

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

@@DaliaStar89 yah, i think i'll go for it :) but maybe do the others first :) thank you

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

@@DaliaStar89 I love every style, so i guess my style is eclectic :) but i don't really like anything ultra modern, more contempory, vintage, retro too :)

[@MyWorldMelissa]

Wow!!! This is amazing !!!

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thanks so much :)

[@kenzzcouture]

Omg I had this one as a kid!! I loved the elevator

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thanks so much! the elevator was cool, but i had to rip it out for more space, the dollhouse was made over for a doll series....so i need space plus room to film in the dollhouse :)

[@KeikoKeepSmiling]

I just said how I wished I could watch you transform an old doll house. But never did I imagine that I’d see you remodel an old Victorian doll house that I actually owned as a child. I remember pulling down the bath tub and turning the wheel at the top of the elevator to transport my dolls. I just felt a tremendous wave of nostalgia. You did an INCREDIBLE and awesome job on making this gothic and glamorous! I love all of the tiny and grand touches that you made throughout the kitchen and living space. Even though this isn’t my personal style it is definitely beautiful and if it were a real home I would surely live in. Amazingggg job on this design!

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thank you sooooo much! I'm actually thinking of giving it a new makeover, i made it dark for the doll series i did on my kids channel but now that it's over, i want to make it brighter and more my style as well.... but i do have a few other dollhouses i found at garage sales to makeover, one is a 1:12 scale i found on the curb a few months ago, it was being thrown out, broken in a few places but i'm hoping i can fix it and renovate it :)

[@melodiesblue]

this looks just like the addams family house lol

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

lol, that's kinda the look i was going for, i made it that way to use in a monster high doll series on my kids channel 'gingers doll world' :) but the series is over so i'm thinking of giving it another makeover, something a lot brighter :)

[@francesca1870]

The funny thing is, the real Addams family set was actually pink because it intensified the colors when filmed in black and white

[@beaulabix4914]

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. What a great place to live. Blessings, now.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thank you so much :) I have more dollhouses i found at garage sales and thrift stores to makeover, i even have one i found on the curb someone was throwing away, can't wait to start working on them, just working on Christmas miniature dupes right now, once they're done it's all about dollhouses :) Blessings :)

This looks amazing. I would have put the second floor in though....where do they store their coffins....Oh the basement obviously lol!

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

lol! yes the basement, but i did make a separate doll room as Draculaura's bedroom, video is on this channel. I removed the second floor because i was using the dollhouse for a monster high series, i wish now i kept it :) i want to give it another makeover for barbie, more white and neutral colours, but i have a handful of other dollhouses to makeover :) thanks so much for watching!

[@BrownieBiteB]

I'm curious as to why you didnt keep the second floor for Dracula to have a study or even just a room for Draculily. Other then that do you plan on giving rooms and houses to the rest of the dolls? I'd love to see more house renovations like this

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Hi Tiffany, I gave the house a makeover for a doll series I posted on my kids channel...Gingers Doll World, I removed the second floor so it would be easier to film with and for lighting. I did create Draculaura's room for this house as a separate set, I even tried to copy one of the windows from this house in her set, check out the video here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/lamqenxoasp9d7s I am planning on more dollhouse makeovers, but not removing any more floors :) plus I am using more Barbies in my shows than Monster High dolls, so I may give this house another makeover, I want to paint it white and make it really bright :) I'm also working on more dioramas too :) and miniature decor crafts.... please subscribe so you don't miss any of my new vids and don't forget to click on the bell for notifications :) check out my kids channel kzbin.info ... thanks for watching :)

I'm curious how this held up without a primer before the paint, and the hot glue on plastic. How did the paper on the wall hold up? How did you apply the paper?

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Hi, i have it stored away in a closet, but last time i looked at it, it was still in pretty good shape. I'm working on a video of my dollhouse makeoveres that i have done, i'll add more detail to the video and will pull out the dollhouses for an update, i thought there was a handful but i only found 2... i do have 3 dollhouse makeovers on the go. I think i used white glue to apply the paper, can't remember now, but that's what i would use to do it again, a think layer of glue, or wait a minute, now i'm remembering applying foam board with hot glue and then the paper to the foam board with white glue, i'll have to re watch the video, back then i didn't film a lot of the work, kicking myself now, my new makeover videos will have more detail :) the foam board does stick to the plastic, it stays but if you try to pull it off, it will come off.
