Enchanting. Your ideas are magically enchanting. I love the way you re-did the modern doll house furniture pieces. Thanks for the inspiration, Ara. Love this mouse house already! 🥰
That was adorable. Never had YT recommend this or any thing like it. I watch cats and other small animals all the time. Glad you got to do this so I can tell my daughter for the grand sons.
Brilliant! I really hope that you will do a video or videos on making the set with the interchangeable wall please. I love the idea and yours looks like such a simple design! Great for photographing photo stories! Thank you for sharing this!
That was awesome,what brilliant ideas for the furniture and the walls that you can change around is so clever.Thank you for sharing your work with us,it is amazing.
It's so cool to see you collaborate with such a big channel Ara. You have done so much over the years. What was it like to see your project used like this? Normally you are the one writing the story!
It was really fun to see someone else bring the project to life... especially in such a fun way! And I really appreciate Aaron reaching out to me because he recognized that it was going to take a miniaturist to get the result he wanted (as opposed to finding something mass made out there). I love seeing the miniature arts being appreciated in any form!
Wow! That is fabulous! Love the set a d the flexibility that design offers! The tissue paper trick really transformed the store bought furniture. You’re so clever! Love it.
Whoa -the interchangeable walls are an amazing concept! The ideal small space dollhouse. Love the little mice furniture but then again I am biased since I am making a mouse house.
Definitely could work for a small space! I am thinking of making one for display purposes one day because I hope to have a table at future minis shows!
Love this so much! The remake of the dining room set was my favorite. It turned out so perfect! You are an awesome designer, craftsman , and creator of all things miniature! Looking forward to your next creation! ☮️💕
The video they did using your creations was too cute. I love your design. It was great that used your sister’s picture. Your furniture is fabulous. Thank you for sharing. I love your beautiful dog.
WOW, simply WOW!!!!! I rarely comment but I couldn't not on such an AWESOME build. I would enjoy watching you build something with interchangeable walls, etc. Your creativity is inspiring.
This is really lovely and the idea of interchangeable walls has given me inspiration for something like that for a Barbie doll house that takes up minimal room.
I think the bark pieces could have used a hint of green in some places. For that moss stuff that always grows on it. You definitely make me feel so much more comfortable with making premade furniture into something that is my own!
That would definitely add something to it! I was making this for someone else so I had to hold back my typical grungy-ness lol!! If it were stay with me I would have added a lot more moss and dirt!
Ara , thank you so much for your Aaron’s Animals recommendation in the description box. I have subscribed to him now. I loved the mini movie featuring your Mini Mouse House 🤗
Wonderful video and awesome project! But you know I just can't help adding my 2 cents worth. I have found that when differentiating between wood and bark, bark tends to have some gray tones. Replacing one or two of the tones (light,mid,dark) with gray instead of brown can really make bark pop.
Great point! There are so many different colors in tree bark and in wood. When I have more time on things I def like to try out different colors but for this build I had to speed paint lol!
Oh that is soooooo gorgeous. I love the idea of the interchangeable panels. Another thought. You could also have one or two 'carpets' for different filming projects. Either the full size of the floor as flooring or rugs. You are just amazing.
Adorable!!! The interchangeable wall system is an awesome feature! Also, I feel like a doggo, who has been trained with a clicker, and now I feel so confused when there are so few of them. xD
Hi Ava 🤗🤗 a good trick to make paint look like stone is to add some baking powder to the paint😹😹 I learned this trick a while back, another way is sifting sand with an extra fine sieve and use the extra fine sand dust in the paint 😹😹😹 a good option for bark is from the Aussie gum trees their bark peels off every year and I find it laying around all the time it’s very thin and you could use it like wood vernear (sorry not sure how to spell the word😿) I would have sent you some but it would have to go through quarantine so if anyone lives near an Aussie gum tree in California maybe they could source you some 😊😊 that’s the only place I know has the Aussie gum trees growing 😹😹 Love the set, I like how it’s interchangeable to creat different rooms, and I love the added touch of the family portrait 😹😹😹
I thought that you could use a thin tool with a flat or slightly rounded edge to twist the bark paper thereby making those nice knots in natural wood. It would probably just require extra wide paper. They could be different sizes if you have different size tools but I guess you could make them with twigs, too. And I also thought, wouldn't it be fun to have one large hole-knot with a tiny red robin sitting on the edge with some teensy weensy eggs inside. It would be like the robin was using that piece of tree for its home and decided to come along and lay her eggs there. It could look even better with a roof with a hole in it.
I thought the set was great. Now that I have seen in person how it looks when you make something look like real wood I'll always have a better idea of what your doing. I just love how it turns out!
Its weird how different it is seeing something in person isn't it? It always blows my mind at miniature shows to see everything close up... the details are always astounding!
5:25. Seeing all those tools was but beautiful and jealous inspiring lol Is there a video covering what tools you have and use somewhere on the channel. If not, would you consider making one? Thank you so much sharing this video. You've inspired me so much to experiment and try new things in my crafting.
I love your work so much, so many good ideas. I had to laugh, I swallowed my coke wrong and it was right at the point when you asked if your dog was okay. It sounded like you were talking to me lol
I feel as though that furniture makeover would also work for a woodland fairy or pixie too. I love it and it's so awesome.
I think it would too! Anything with a woodsy cottagey theme! Thank you!
We need to get you to 1 million! ❤️
Aww thanks! I am so happy and thankful to be where I am at but I would definitely love to keep growing our mini community!
To Bentley house minis my compliments to the person who designed the furniture set they did a very good job.
Only five words to describe this ;- "Utterly brilliant, and totally unique."
💖💖 Thank you my friend!
Enchanting.
Your ideas are magically enchanting.
I love the way you re-did the modern doll house furniture pieces.
Thanks for the inspiration, Ara.
Love this mouse house already! 🥰
Thank you Darnelle! I appreciate it!💖
Too cute!!! I can just picture these in the little mouse apartment in The Muppet’s Christmas Carol!!! 🐭
Aww I love that! Thank you Samantha!
Interchangeable walls would be great in a book nook insert, then you could do one for each holiday and what not!
Oh that's so true! Great idea!
That was adorable. Never had YT recommend this or any thing like it. I watch cats and other small animals all the time. Glad you got to do this so I can tell my daughter for the grand sons.
Oh watch her other videos! They are DELIGHTFUL,
Thank you!! I hope they enjoy the videos too!
Awesome!!! Just awesome!! I love the idea of interchangeable walls. Theodore is so sophisticated 😀
Omg how adorable and cute!! 🥰🥰
Love how the furniture turned out. Love it.
Wow what a beautiful job. For me it looks like a theater or a 🎥 set for story telling. Really amazing. And a world of possibilities.
I just left Hobby Lobby, so seeing the furniture, I love what you did with it.
Brilliant! I really hope that you will do a video or videos on making the set with the interchangeable wall please. I love the idea and yours looks like such a simple design! Great for photographing photo stories! Thank you for sharing this!
I hope to one day! I am thinking it might work for a mini display I have in mind... that won't be as rushed so I can take my time ;)

Oh wow! I am so loving everything but especially your bark furniture. Well done!
Thanks so much! 😊

Thank you! It was so fun to see Theodore in the background...he's a star now lol!
I love this so much! I think a really fun future project with the bark wood method would be a small borrowers scene.
That would be fun! Thank you!
This was fantastic! Well done!
WOW, simply WOW!!!!! I rarely comment but I couldn't not on such an AWESOME build. I would enjoy watching you build something with interchangeable walls, etc. Your creativity is inspiring.

Thank you!! 😊
Your talents are endless - what a cool, fun project!
I love Aaron's Animals! I've been a subscriber for years. I can't wait to see his videos using your construct.
That's awesome!! He was as kind to talk to in person as he seems in his videos. Great guy to work with!
What a fun project! A woodland fairy would feel right at home. Theodore looks so dapper in his portrait!
I love this! I can adapt it for my Southwest house.
This is really lovely and the idea of interchangeable walls has given me inspiration for something like that for a Barbie doll house that takes up minimal room.
I loved howvthe furniture came out. The picture of your sisters Chinchilla was priceless ❤️ bright spot in my day!
Thanks Liz!! Theodore's picture fit right in I think lol!
Have you ever done anything for a fairy garden? ( furniture) Would so love to see what all you would come up with. Love all the things you make.
I hope to do that one day! My daughter wants a fairy-themed house!
Absolutely love this concept! 💜
Very cool project! Thanks for sharing your amazing work with us.
I take my hat off to you, Lady! 👏👏💜
Awesome! Love the bark technique! 👌
Thank you! 😊
It would be awesome to make a fairy's house too !!
That would be so fun!!
Love the bark furnitures, they are so so cool! Nice idea with a dollroom that can be changed like that. Beautiful work you did there
Thanks so much Daniela! I can def see this working for your larger dolls! 😊
@@BentleyHouseMinis That was also what I were thinking :-)
So creative!!!
You are always so creative. This bark looking technique is so cool. Love it Ara
Thank you Denise!
I love watching your videos because I always learn new techniques!
BRILLANT la manière dont tu as réalisé tes murs ! ! ! Ton effet de bois est parfait ! Superbe maquette ma chère !
Thank you Lise! So glad you liked how the wood came out!

That's a great idea as well... and then it really could be very versatile!
Awesome!

Great project
Thanks you!!
Absolutely love this. Great idea to use the sticks and that tree bark looks so real!
Thanks so much Samantha! 😊
That sink is just adorable ❤
You're so talented
What a great idea!!! I love the rustic look. That will be one lucky mouse.
Now I really want to figure out how to needle-felt a mouse and make a whole mouse house lol! Thank you!
@@BentleyHouseMinis That will be an awesome project!
Adorable!!! The interchangeable wall system is an awesome feature! Also, I feel like a doggo, who has been trained with a clicker, and now I feel so confused when there are so few of them. xD
Thank you!! lol!😄
Great tutorial! I actually create “mouse miniatures” and this was inspiring!
thank you :)
I love how you used all the sticks! Never would've thought about using them for a faucet.
Aww your so creative ☺️☺️ super cute and simple mouse house and I love it
Thank you Aleean!! 😊
These are so amazing!
Brilliant!!

Love how you upcycled those furniture items. Great work!!♥️♥️
these are perfect for any woodland scenes. love how they turned out!

Very awesome, your furniture looks much better than the original. I love how you redid everything. TFS
Thanks so much Agnes! 😊
I love this.. especially the interchangeable walls. Kinda sad ya worked on a MCM style set .. but ya won me over. ♡♡
Lol! Thank you Angela!

Ara, wow you did a magnific job with those funiture, love it, stay safe :)

Ich hätte den Mäusen Hocker gemacht, because of their tails😂
Lol. I came running to see your "owl" @ 5:35
🤣 Darn Texas accent... lol!! I'll just go back to 'pokey tool" haha!
@@BentleyHouseMinis 😆

Thank you so much sharing this video. You've inspired me so much to experiment and try new things in my crafting.
Absolutely love how these item's turned out. And a set in pieces is amazing. :}
Thank you Yezzy! I appreciate it!
