I can feel your excitement as you show your work. It brings back to mind my excitement as I done the first pieces. May you always loose yourself in the dolls world
I know you have probably finished timing your first dolphins but I wanted to say that you are doing a marvelous job for a new to the hobby or expert and I love the furniture the videos do show the labor of love you have done.
Richard, great job on the house and the furniture piece. You should be proud of yourself, I am proud of you, such patience and attention to detail should be applauded. You made Julie Warren proud too!!
Awww bless you for saying HH 🙏 It's a big passion for me, and I do get a great buzz when I've made something. But I'm not sure I'd make someone like Julie Warren proud lol. But she definitely does inspire me! 😁
The house is looking good! I think the piece of furniture you made is lovely😊 Julie is awesome. I have been following her Facebook, UA-cam and a member of her Patreon. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for saying! I've always been into many arts and crafts, so it hasn't taken long to get into the world of miniatures...it was just a matter of time! 🙏😁
Hi from Alberta Canada. Great job. Julie's tutorials are. Awesome. She make you feel like you can build anything. And i think with her help she can take you to the next level for sure. Thank you for sharing oh and I love your stain glass windows. Ty
Very good job on the dresser! no need to chuck the wood out. LoL. Your bohemian dollhouse is beautiful! Every detail is lovingly created and well thought out. Can't wait for the next update. Cheers, Tamara
Oh my bloody good god...... First of all I love it when I get a notification that you've uploaded a video, secondly to see what you've done to the dolls house is amazing.... then the grand reveal of that dresser at the end wow, Richard its brilliant. The stained glass windows, the shiplap, I love everything about it so far and can't wait to see more. You are very clever and have tons of patiance. Thank you for sharing it with us xxx
Hehehe Julie, thank you firstly for watching, but a huge thank you for such a lovely comment! But it worries me, because I never know how any of it is going to turn out as I literally never touched a dollshouse until about six weeks ago! None of it has been planned because I really don't know what I'm doing lol. It's a huge learning curve, which is good because I love pushing myself to learn new stuff. But I also panic in case folk think I'm just making a mess 😁 so I'm happy that you like it so far! Hopefully you'll enjoy the rest of the journey 🙏😊xx
Loving the little dresser...great job 👏 and also very amusing giving a little glimpse into the family who will be moving in 😂 thats how my imagination works also.
Hi from Australia. Well done Richard. My first doll house is still in the box and I can’t wait to get started. Have been binge watching mini tutorials to give me some ideas. I have always been fascinated with miniatures and now I have something to occupy myself in retirement. I guess you are never too old.Your first attempt at making the dresser was first class. Why would you think people would make fun of you. Reading the comments on many of the tutorials they all seem very supportive. Cheers Robyn
G'day Robyn, hope you are fairing well 🙏 when ever I've attempted something for the first time, I'm always concerned if folk think it's poor looking, or ok, but it seems I'm doing an "ok" job with my miniatures 😁 so I plan to continue for as many years as I'm able! 🙏
Oh wow! Even though this is now my work, and I have done up many houses now, I still get excited when someone tells me they are getting a house! I try to put as many tips as I can think of, in my videos, to try and help others. So hopefully you will pick up some ideas to help you along your new journey! Good luck! 🙏😊
@insidethecover7674 yes, it turned from a hobby into a passion! Basically I took over my every day life, and now I work on dollhouses/miniatures every day, seven days a week normally 😊 I've done quite a few commission houses now for various clients, and some of them so far, have given me permission to video the work. So my more recent videos include various commissions, along with my own private projects 😊 but if you start from the beginning and work through videos, then it's quite interesting to see my progress!
Hello from Florida. I'm so happy to have found your channel! I remodeled a dollhouse with my students at school for a fundraiser about 10 years ago. We used large popsicle sticks that we cut the ends off for the roof. It took us forever, but it is one of my fondest memories as a teacher. You are doing beautifully, especially the stained glass windows.
Sorry, I've been incredibly busy (almost 24/7) with all the dollshouse stuff that I'm working on. But I'm planning more videos for the New year, so there will be more to come!
Wow Rich it’s coming on brilliantly you have infinite patience I applauded you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I think your kitchen cabinet it great 👍 if this is your first ever just think what’s to come with practice I watch in anticipation WELL DONE See you next time & Thank You for sharing Cheers with a cuppa 🫖
That's really nice of you to say, thank you Joanne. It's all so addictive though! And many thanks for subscribing to my channel, I'll say hi to you in one of my next videos!
I too subscribe to Julie Warren and she’s great. You should be very proud of your 1st build you’ve done a great job and it will be perfect for your house. Donna
Yes she is good! I've made more since, but don't like to post in her site because of intruding. But I am designing and making ceramic vases now as well, so if you're at all interested then maybe you'd like to take a peek in my Etsy shop! Xx www.etsy.com/uk/shop/RSheedWackiwear
You are doing an absolutely phenomenal job on both the house and your cabinet! I have been at this since 1978 (10 room Victorian) and this month my partner gifted me with a 60's Gee Bee Cottage which I have just started doing up with a nod to both Doc Martin and Port Isaac. So greetings from your new subscriber in Canada. 🇨🇦
Hey Winter! Big 👋👋👋 there in Canada! 🙏 It's so much fun isn't it? Working on our houses, and time passes so quickly because we get so into what we are working on....it's great!
Thank you 🙏 yes "shabby chic" does play a big part in our times, but it is nice to get away from it completely and do other styles too! My next project will be a total opposite of the shabby chic look for sure! 😁
The dresser is lovely as you've done wonderfully well for your first piece . I lpve that you've given it a bit of a distressed look which in my opinion means a piece of furniture is well loved and used . Also the front steps showing a bit of wear is a perfect touch !!! The roof will be magnificent....................................but my preference of paint would have been a dark charcoal to represent slate instead of the black . Please stay well , be safe , prosper and , as they say , '' crack on '' . I make my home in Ontario , Canada .
Hi Cathy, many thanks for your lovely comments. I do love the idea of making new things for my houses and then stressing them in some way to give the effect of "wear & tear". And also, now you've put the idea in my head, the roof tiles would definitely look better if they were more grey like slate! I've actually added onto the huge mental list of things I want to make or do! Nothing is in order on that list so the repainting of the roof could be any time! So thank you for your thoughts, I agree with you completely 🙏 and a big hug to Ontario from the UK ❤️
Hi! Richard...what a beautiful cabinet. That is quite spooky, I was going to suggest Julie Warren. She is indeed amazing. I discovered her about 6 months ago and can't stop watching ( trying to catch up with older vlogs ). I also have her books they are worth the outlay. Keep up the good work, love the house so far. I have only just discovered you. The cabinet colour has given me ideas. By the way I have 5 doll houses so far. Jude xx
Thank you Pat for commenting. I've started work on another house recently, so I'll put a video on soon to show folks. I'm also about to get my first kiln, so I'll be videoing some of that journey too! Keep well! 🙏
G'day Richard, wow, you go from victory to victory with this new hobby! Makes us mere mortals feel very humble, lol. The dresser is gorgeous! I'm sure your bohemian family of dolls will love it. I've shown parts of this video to different night nurses. Hopefully some of them will subscribe. Congratulations on getting 500 subscribers! What a legend! Looking forward to the next video. Was cool to see Norman peeking around your shoulder as you showed us the cabinet. Blessings to you, John and Norman. Hugs.
G'day Karen. Thank you as always for your lovely comments. And yay to getting 500 subscribers! Never thought I'd even get this many with my videos, but hey, that's fantastic! It was my birthday today, Saturday, and we went to London to our first dollhouse fair. It was great, gor lots of inspiration. Oh and by the way, the cat's name is Nigel lol but I can't expect folk to remember all our names 😂 But we all send our love 🙏xx
@@RichMiniatures I'm so sorry, poor Nigel.... I had been watching some knitting videos by a chap called Norman, oops. Happy Birthday! I hope you were spoiled rotten. I hope the year ahead is full of love, laughter and lots of blessings. Hugs
@@karenmcmullan bless, don't worry... I've knitted for years too lol. John bought me a beautiful couch for my French lady's shop, and other pieces. Plus a friend bought me a mini potted wheel. Never done pottery either, so watch this space!
Just found your channel really enjoying watching you customize your doll's house. You have made a lovely job of your little dresser. I will have to give Jule a look thanks for sharing.
I 'redo' dolls' house items and they are not very good. Your dresser is lovely and you've achieved it as a first piece! The little drawers are done so well, and I like the bin style hardware.
That sounds great fun to do! I know when the I'm working, I'm very particular and critical of myself, especially when I'm working on commissions for customers like I am at the moment!
@marshy9880 well I just want to thank you for watching, and welcome you to our ever growing miniature "family" 🙏 I hope you enjoy the journeys and collect lots of tips and ideas!
Hi this is the first time I have ever commented on a site ,I think that the work you have done to your Dollhouse is amazing,and you should definitely continue to build furniture to go inside , I am new to the hobby too and have been inspired by your ideas , I'm working on a house that my dad hand built me about seven years ago and I'm loving every minute,keep up the great work and stay safe 😃
Firstly Tracy, I want to say a huge thank you, for taking the time to actually make a comment on here 🙏 I feel quite honoured! I am planning on making more furniture for the Boho house, but am also doing work on another house (the Parisian haberdashery shop). Also I'm doing a lot of miniature ceramics, so I just try to get videos done when I can. Oh, and if you choose to subscribe to my channel let me know, in case you do it privately, because I won't know it's you then. And then I'll write your name down and say hello to you in one of my next videos 😁
@@RichMiniatures thankyou for replying to my comment , I have subscribed tonight and plan to follow your progress , I think your house is looking amazing and can't wait to watch what you do next 😃
@@tracycompton7829 well I knew what it was like when I first made a nice comment and got no reply! But I try to answer as much as possible, if I can. Thank you for subscribing and I'll say hi to you on my next video 🙏😁
I have always wanted to decorate a doll house , have two tubs of furniture I got at Hobby lobby. And a Victorian house in the box . Maybe you will inspire me to try building ! Your work looks great.
Stained glass windows - I taped the pattern onto a light box and then the glazing onto the light box over the top of the pattern, black outlined it and let it dry and then painted the colours in
That's a great idea Alyson! I'm sure that would be much easier, and much neater looking too...maybe I'll invest in a light box at some point, thank you 🙏
Greetings! Has anyone ever told you that you look like the Scottish actor Graham McTavish? I'm enjoying your videos. I really like the (newly) rounded section of the house on the right side. It looks stunning and has given me more than a few ideas. I have quite a few dollhouses in various states of completion. I'm currently working on a one room loft apartment/tiny house and it should be done in a few weeks. Much love to a fellow miniaturist in the States!
Thank you for your comments Jeanette, no one has mentioned Graham McTavish to me before but looking at his photos it made me laugh because I could see the resemblance! Maybe he's related and we don't know it lol. Great to hear from a fellow miniaturist, and keep up the good work, it's just great fun!
I use lollypop sticks for lots of things i made for my dolls house. The roof on your dolls house could be done with lollypop sticks. ( just a little advice! I hope you dont mind)
My first miniature diorama was staged in a miniature bread loaf pan. When l made it l had planed on selling it. Needless to say l couldn't because it was my first. So l know how you feel about this dollhouse. I love the stain glass look you have done. I am from the States and live in Phoenix, Arizona. I have bought those roof tiles also for a project I will be using an old nick nack shelf that sorta looks like a house. I am turning it into a sewing shop. Love the brick work between you bay windows. I an new to your channel this is the second of your videos l have watched. Giggles you are so funny. Nice build for your first piece of furniture.
I understand busy. I have been working on Barbie doll clothes for my Grand-daughter that lives in Missouri for Christmas. Sewing snaps and buttons on today so l can get in the mail by the 15th so it will reach my son in time.
Many thanks for saying! The boho house will just be an ongoing thing from now but I will do update videos as I go. I've begun another video of my next house, which is going to be a Parisian haberdashery. I've just uploaded the first video on that. Plus I'm putting together another video showing my first kiln, and firing miniature vases that I make also! 🙏😁
Just found you!! I got a quite bare dollhouse for like $7.50 👍👍👍👏👏👏 Will remodel for my granddaughter! I have to say I really, really, REALLY LOVE the brick between the bay windows!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I really LOVE your stained glass windows…GREAT job!! Giving me a few ideas, thank you!!! Will be binge watching your videos!!!
Thank you muchly! I'm really pleased you're getting some inspiration from watching my videos. I only spend the time making them simply to share with nice folk. I'm working on three different videos at the moment, but I'll be saying "hi" to you on one of them 🙏😁
I love your dolls house and the dresser is beautiful you are very clever. My granny had a dresser just like yours with a towel rail on one end for tea towels. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Marrianne all the way form Australia 😀
G'day Marrianne. Thank you so much for your comments. And I want to thank you for giving me the idea of the towel rail! I'm going to try and put one onto my dresser, just like the one your granny had 😊 Don't know if you've subscribed to my channel but I will say Hi to you on my next video as I like to say hi to new subscribers 😊 Keep well 🙏
@@RichMiniatures Just found your channel 🤯 You are brilliant! The kitchen dresser is absolutely amazing and your attention to detail is impeccable! I cannot wait to see all your videos and see the fully-remodeled house. I know I will be wishing it was mine (already do)! ❤️
@@MatterMeetsAntimatter thank you very much for watching my videos 🙏 I'm always working on a few different houses at any one time, so it gives folks something different to watch! ❤️
Hi I'm a new subscription to your channel I am also doing my 1st build and another house I'm renovating it's great fun. Your cabinet is really good I follow julie too she's great 👍 you will learn so much from her. I look forward to watching more of your build.
Many thanks for subscribing 🙏 Yes I look at Bentley also, she gives such inspiration. I should be putting next update of the house very soon. I'm really enjoying the journey now its taking shape. And good luck with your renovations too. It's such a fun addiction!
What do I think of the dresser? I think it's bloody gorgeous m8!! 🤓 I have a small tip; you may have done it already but you can use the same strips as you have used for the outside corners of the house, just bend them the opposite way to finish the inside corners as well.
Many thanks...no I hadn't thought about paint markers! I'm sure they would have been much easier to use...and control! Good tip for the future thank you 🙏
@@RichMiniatures i'm a new subscriber and halfway through watching your videos. You don't have to mention me in your video haha but I'm from South Africa (Johannesburg).
Actually quite funny started with your latest now I've started with your first doll (s) houses!!! Am watching part 3/4 currently!!! (who knows... who cares😂😂😂😂).
@@leigh-annkoeberg4648 first of all, thank you for joining our ever growing "family" 🙏 I hope you enjoy watching any others 😊 and I have to say, I'm not even sure how the "who knows" thing began, but it's become quite a thing with most folks! 😁
Hi Gretchen (LOVE your name!). Thank you for subscribing 🙏 I am just uploading my next video already filmed, but I've made a note of your name to say hi in the following video😁 xx
I like the idea of making your own stain glass windows. They will look lovely when the lights are on in the house. If I had a go at this I may use some printable acetate as I am rubbish at trying to use that stuff to draw those lines. The roof was looking amazing, so worth the added expense. Wow, just love your first piece of furniture, it looks amazing. I am going to have to track down this Julie Warren on UA-cam to watch her make furniture. What is the scale of your dolls house? This week I am spray painting the inner sides of the front doors.
Yes Natasha, I like the idea of printable stained glass, didn't even know it existed, me being new to all this! The house is 1:12th scale. We decided to buy this size houses as its the most popular size, so much easier to find items to go in them. And I like the idea of spray painting, I bet that will look a lot neater than using a brush, and qujcker to do!
For someone "just learning", on your first dollhouse, you have fantastic talent!!
Thank you so much for saying...things have moved on a lot from back then! It's become an addiction! 😂
The cabinet is absolutely amazing!!
I can feel your excitement as you show your work. It brings back to mind my excitement as I done the first pieces. May you always loose yourself in the dolls world
Yes, I was excited about the beginning of my journey, as it's only grown every day since then! It's a complete passion and a way of life now! 😁❤️🙏
I know you have probably finished timing your first dolphins but I wanted to say that you are doing a marvelous job for a new to the hobby or expert and I love the furniture the videos do show the labor of love you have done.
I never knew you were so clever Richard. All of it was so good, not only the dresser. ten out of ten.
Awww bless! Thank you for saying Terry 🙏 I never knew I could do any of it either, until I had a go!
I think the dresser you've made is awesome! I make tiny things and refurbishe dolls houses as well. It truly is a labor of love ❤️ Holly

Thank you so much for watching my videos Miriam 🙏 I really enjoy taking the time out to share as much as possible with other like minded folk 🙂
Excellent work Richard!!
Many thanks Beth 🙏 hopefully lots more to come!
Youre doing a great job and the cabinet you made is really nice.
It's all guess work really, but thank you for saying!
I 'redo' dolls' house items and they are not very good. Your dresser is lovely and you've achieved it as a first piece! The little drawers are done so well, and I like the bin style hardware.
That sounds great fun to do! I know when the I'm working, I'm very particular and critical of myself, especially when I'm working on commissions for customers like I am at the moment!
Just found your channel, it's nice to find some content to watch, looking forward to seeing how your dolls house turned out.
@marshy9880 well I just want to thank you for watching, and welcome you to our ever growing miniature "family" 🙏
I hope you enjoy the journeys and collect lots of tips and ideas!
10 mths later but your work is great! Those clips are clothes pins oh love the window idea 😇
Well many thanks for saying Bonnie 🙏😊
I love your little green dresser!! ❤
Thank you, it took a little while to make, but I have plans for more furniture makes to do at some point!
Hi this is the first time I have ever commented on a site ,I think that the work you have done to your Dollhouse is amazing,and you should definitely continue to build furniture to go inside , I am new to the hobby too and have been inspired by your ideas , I'm working on a house that my dad hand built me about seven years ago and I'm loving every minute,keep up the great work and stay safe 😃
Firstly Tracy, I want to say a huge thank you, for taking the time to actually make a comment on here 🙏
I feel quite honoured! I am planning on making more furniture for the Boho house, but am also doing work on another house (the Parisian haberdashery shop). Also I'm doing a lot of miniature ceramics, so I just try to get videos done when I can.
Oh, and if you choose to subscribe to my channel let me know, in case you do it privately, because I won't know it's you then. And then I'll write your name down and say hello to you in one of my next videos 😁
@@RichMiniatures thankyou for replying to my comment , I have subscribed tonight and plan to follow your progress , I think your house is looking amazing and can't wait to watch what you do next 😃
@@tracycompton7829 well I knew what it was like when I first made a nice comment and got no reply! But I try to answer as much as possible, if I can.
Thank you for subscribing and I'll say hi to you on my next video 🙏😁
I have always wanted to decorate a doll house , have two tubs of furniture I got at Hobby lobby. And a Victorian house in the box . Maybe you will inspire me to try building ! Your work looks great.
Yes you really should start that project Cathy! Once it starts coming together, you start getting "the bug" and then there's no going back! 😁
Stained glass windows - I taped the pattern onto a light box and then the glazing onto the light box over the top of the pattern, black outlined it and let it dry and then painted the colours in
That's a great idea Alyson! I'm sure that would be much easier, and much neater looking too...maybe I'll invest in a light box at some point, thank you 🙏
Greetings! Has anyone ever told you that you look like the Scottish actor Graham McTavish? I'm enjoying your videos. I really like the (newly) rounded section of the house on the right side. It looks stunning and has given me more than a few ideas. I have quite a few dollhouses in various states of completion. I'm currently working on a one room loft apartment/tiny house and it should be done in a few weeks. Much love to a fellow miniaturist in the States!
Thank you for your comments Jeanette, no one has mentioned Graham McTavish to me before but looking at his photos it made me laugh because I could see the resemblance! Maybe he's related and we don't know it lol.
Great to hear from a fellow miniaturist, and keep up the good work, it's just great fun!
And your kitchen cabinet is awesome. I've only done two of Julie's tutorials, so far.
Thank you for saying. Some of Julie's patterns are great to build!
Just found your channel. Love it! You are clever Richard. I like your sense of humour too.
Many thanks Suzanne, I really enjoy making videos to help folk or even just to entertain them. Either way, I do love a good sense of humor!
Everything is beautiful!
Thank you so much for commenting. I'm in the middle of doing more macrame this week, so it will hopefully be on the next video
I use lollypop sticks for lots of things i made for my dolls house. The roof on your dolls house could be done with lollypop sticks. ( just a little advice! I hope you dont mind)
Not at all my friend 😊 my whole outlook on UA-cam, is to share ideas back and forth...it's how we all learn! Thank you 🙏
My first miniature diorama was staged in a miniature bread loaf pan. When l made it l had planed on selling it. Needless to say l couldn't because it was my first. So l know how you feel about this dollhouse. I love the stain glass look you have done. I am from the States and live in Phoenix, Arizona. I have bought those roof tiles also for a project I will be using an old nick nack shelf that sorta looks like a house. I am turning it into a sewing shop. Love the brick work between you bay windows. I an new to your channel this is the second of your videos l have watched. Giggles you are so funny. Nice build for your first piece of furniture.
Yes, sometimes you just can't let go of certain projects!
I understand busy. I have been working on Barbie doll clothes for my Grand-daughter that lives in Missouri for Christmas. Sewing snaps and buttons on today so l can get in the mail by the 15th so it will reach my son in time.
I really love your house your doing an awesome job 👏 love it xx
Many thanks for saying! The boho house will just be an ongoing thing from now but I will do update videos as I go. I've begun another video of my next house, which is going to be a Parisian haberdashery. I've just uploaded the first video on that. Plus I'm putting together another video showing my first kiln, and firing miniature vases that I make also! 🙏😁
Just found you!! I got a quite bare dollhouse for like $7.50 👍👍👍👏👏👏 Will remodel for my granddaughter! I have to say I really, really, REALLY LOVE the brick between the bay windows!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I really LOVE your stained glass windows…GREAT job!! Giving me a few ideas, thank you!!! Will be binge watching your videos!!!
Thank you muchly! I'm really pleased you're getting some inspiration from watching my videos. I only spend the time making them simply to share with nice folk. I'm working on three different videos at the moment, but I'll be saying "hi" to you on one of them 🙏😁
I love your dolls house and the dresser is beautiful you are very clever. My granny had a dresser just like yours with a towel rail on one end for tea towels. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Marrianne all the way form Australia 😀
G'day Marrianne. Thank you so much for your comments. And I want to thank you for giving me the idea of the towel rail! I'm going to try and put one onto my dresser, just like the one your granny had 😊
Don't know if you've subscribed to my channel but I will say Hi to you on my next video as I like to say hi to new subscribers 😊
Keep well 🙏
You’re doing a lovely job on everything! The dressers very good especially for your first go! Great work 👍🏻
Many thanks for saying Kath. I've made a few more pieces since then (in the later videos) but it really is a learning curve, great fun though!
@@RichMiniatures Just found your channel 🤯 You are brilliant! The kitchen dresser is absolutely amazing and your attention to detail is impeccable! I cannot wait to see all your videos and see the fully-remodeled house. I know I will be wishing it was mine (already do)! ❤️

Hi I'm a new subscription to your channel I am also doing my 1st build and another house I'm renovating it's great fun. Your cabinet is really good I follow julie too she's great 👍 you will learn so much from her. I look forward to watching more of your build.
Look for Bentley House minis Ara is amazing too put them together and bang its just brilliant I've learnt soso much from these 2 lovely ladies
Many thanks for subscribing 🙏
Yes I look at Bentley also, she gives such inspiration.
I should be putting next update of the house very soon. I'm really enjoying the journey now its taking shape. And good luck with your renovations too. It's such a fun addiction!
@@RichMiniatures sure is lol
Could you use ends of tongue depreeser or popsicle sticks?Looks lovely.. Patience, patience!
Sorry I can't remember what's in all the past videos over time 😁 could I use popsicle sticks for what? 😁
Love the dresser and the house is coming along ( looking through your videos loving them as I only found you yesterday I have lots to go yet ):
What do I think of the dresser? I think it's bloody gorgeous m8!! 🤓 I have a small tip; you may have done it already but you can use the same strips as you have used for the outside corners of the house, just bend them the opposite way to finish the inside corners as well.
Oh yes! Thank you 🙏 I never thought about inside corners! It's lovely how we are one big family, and are all learning from each other! 🙂
I think you’re doing a great job.
Looking good!
Have you ever tried paint markers? Fantastic for creating stained glass. Looks great and easy to use.
Many thanks...no I hadn't thought about paint markers! I'm sure they would have been much easier to use...and control! Good tip for the future thank you 🙏
I just found them recently. I was clued in by a 10 year old!
@@Atelier19a oh the young ones know far more these days lol
Im new to your channel, great job its beautiful 😍 love it x

Thingy mabobs...exactly! Lol 😂 xx

Thank you very much for saying so! 🙏
@@RichMiniatures i'm a new subscriber and halfway through watching your videos. You don't have to mention me in your video haha but I'm from South Africa (Johannesburg).
Actually quite funny started with your latest now I've started with your first doll (s) houses!!! Am watching part 3/4 currently!!! (who knows... who cares😂😂😂😂).
@@leigh-annkoeberg4648 first of all, thank you for joining our ever growing "family" 🙏 I hope you enjoy watching any others 😊 and I have to say, I'm not even sure how the "who knows" thing began, but it's become quite a thing with most folks! 😁
@@leigh-annkoeberg4648 well welcome to our "family" Leigh 🙏 and I'm really happy to know that I am being watched in South Africa! 🥰 🙏🙏🙏
New subscriber here ..loving the videos ❤️
Hi Gretchen (LOVE your name!). Thank you for subscribing 🙏 I am just uploading my next video already filmed, but I've made a note of your name to say hi in the following video😁 xx
I like the idea of making your own stain glass windows. They will look lovely when the lights are on in the house. If I had a go at this I may use some printable acetate as I am rubbish at trying to use that stuff to draw those lines. The roof was looking amazing, so worth the added expense. Wow, just love your first piece of furniture, it looks amazing. I am going to have to track down this Julie Warren on UA-cam to watch her make furniture. What is the scale of your dolls house? This week I am spray painting the inner sides of the front doors.
Yes Natasha, I like the idea of printable stained glass, didn't even know it existed, me being new to all this!
The house is 1:12th scale. We decided to buy this size houses as its the most popular size, so much easier to find items to go in them. And I like the idea of spray painting, I bet that will look a lot neater than using a brush, and qujcker to do!
