      Yes I thought so! I'm going the see if it works, the top sticks out far and I'm wondering if the pictures will dangle too far into the room. It is so cool though if it does!

      Older houses had lathe and plaster walls. You couldn't use nails or put any holes into the walls without them falling apart. So they used those picture rails near the ceiling and wall decorations were hung from there.

      I made a lot of these glued curtains for a couple another dollhouses and they receive a lot of compliments. As miniaturists, I know many snub their nose at using hot glue but I have to say, the first ones I made were over 10 years ago and they have held up well. My grandma could sew..but the talent was not passed along, lol.

    Awesome idea for the curtains! I loved that. Awwww.. Tell Tiny Whitney she was missed, LOL! I have never heard of that show. At first I thought of the old show Dark Shadows. I used to love that show and didn't want to miss an episode. Barnabas was a vampire and one of the main characters. I used to study the house as it looked so cool- it was gothic, too. Great video, Whitney! Your dollhouse is wonderful. Love your channel. Keep up the good work!

      Oh boy. Had a dining room with golden yellow carpet and rich red heavy velvet drapes growing up. This was great. I was eating a bowl of ramen noodles, but I had put hot sauce in there. And the combo of the steam and the hot sauce made my nose run. But it was more than running, it was bleeding. Ugh. Watching vampire stuff while bleeding. Tried to finish eating and nose wasn't going to cooperate. So my soup was pinker than it should have been, but I can't afford to waste food.

      My older sister had the Barnabus Collins Dark Shadows board game. It was a larger contraption. There were 3 pits you had to reach into as I recall. I think one had "snakes" in it. And you had to feel around to fish out some other trinket or token. It was probably rubber bands. There were glow in the dark parts too, so I think you were to play in the dark.
