Maybe the corks could be upholstered into foot rests, add a circle top to be an end table, or maybe cut in half and add long wooden legs to be bar stools
great ideas! :) thanks so much for watching and commenting :)
Wow, you did great. Looking forward to your videos on refurbishing those items. You always do such a great job. ❤
Thank you so much! I can't wait to work on them :)
I loved the “feet” planter and the brass vases. I wanted you to grab all of the brass pieces. Great thrifting today. 👋🏾
Oh my goodness the Sindy record player is AMAZING
Thank you so much :)
I know right! i think i need to create a 70's style diorama but with a modern edge :) thanks so much!
@@GingerLolaMiniatures that sounds great. Have at it!!
You find the greatest itams
Thank you so much :)
I loved those wicker type bamboo mats; you could’ve used them for a new tiki bar or perhaps a pergola diorama. I love that Barbie turntable and building a cabinet for it would be awesome.
definitely :) i have some bamboo mats i already thrifted...a tiki bar or pergola would be cool :) i can't wait to build the cabinet for the turntable :)
I cannot get over how, while looking over hundreds of items, you seem to zero in on the best things for your home or Barbies'. Love watching your videos!!!🌼🌼
oh wow.... thank you sooooooo much :)
Under the music center you can put record cabinets. LPs are 2" in 1:6, the jackets a trifle larger. So they can raise it quickly. You only need a few where you can see the cover. The rest are just coloured spines racked up.
Vintage doll furniture is short because manufacturers thought children had no sense of scale, and undersized was cheaper to make. Also, when dolls don't have knees, they can keep their feet closer to the ground. I avoid most of it!
When you see little sauce bowls, remember they may be too big for Barbie's cereal, but a good size for a sink!
i love that idea, making a space for the albums in the cabinet :) oh, i never thought of that....about the dolls not bending their knees....they could have just made barbie shorter :) awesome idea :) its hard to look for stuff, film the stuff, think about what to do with the stuff, all while i'm standing and people are behind me :) i know i do have to focus more, especially at garage sales, because everything is so much cheaper than buying from the thrift store :) thanks so much for watching and commenting :)
Yeah❤ I love the Cindy music cabinet. What a great find😊
I love all the pieces I found, I didn't even know about Sindy...she had a lot of great furniture :)
Ginger, at the church I really liked the twin beds. You should have purchased it for the kiddoes. It would have worked perfectly in a Chelsey bedroom. I love the wicker chair. It will look god in a Boho room. I like the 4 black frames. (When I go to garage sales I look for small trinket boxes and use them as trunks in my Barbie bedrooms. I put them at the foot of the beds.) At the next garage sale I like the whimsical "plant stand". Too cute. I also like the little cabinets. They are a great find. I would use it in my Barbie living room at the entry for my Barbie to lay her keys and purse on when she got home from work. The draw that held the nuts and bolts - you could have purchased those to make Steam Punk furniture. I made an Alice in Wonderland Steampunk Cottage (from MDF) , with my Johnny Depp Madd Hatter and my Alice in Wonderland doll. The cottage was a challenge, as I had never made Steampunk furniture before. But, it turned out beautifully- everything is Victorian and metal fused together. It has a living room, dining room, bedroom and conservatory. My fav was the conservatory because I made the "talking flowers"". You did great with the vintage Barbie furniture. Love it!!! You do not collect Barbies, do you? You just like to create the houses and decorate? You should have been an interior designer. You will definitely add more height with the stove. I love the Sindy music center. You can definitely fix it. I have faith in you. It will look good in your Barbie living room. So, now that your Barbie is a mom you will have to build her a nursery. Suerte.
yah, i'm angry at myself for not grabbing the bunk bed, what was i thinking?? i know it would have been perfect for a kids room urgh! i have a couple of other wicker chairs, but this one is definitely my favourite :) love the little plant stand :) wow, your steampunk dioramas sounds amazing! No, i don't collect Barbies, because i have a big box full of them.... i recently did a purge and sold quite a few, but i still kept my favourites, i have another big bin full of monster high dolls as well :) the only barbies i collect now are adult collector barbies so i can use them on this channel.... i look out for ones under $100 :) i would love to create another doll series or show, i do create these dioramas and dollhouse makeovers for this channel, but don't like the fact that i have to put them away, i would love to use them in a series :) i just bought another table to display another diorama, had to lose a shelf and did some reorganization :) i actually took a handful of interior decorating courses in college....night classes, but gave up on it and got into publishing.....i have decorated friends apartments and my sister in laws houses, i have always been interested in interior design, i guess that's why i love creating these dioramas and makeovers, theres no way i could keep decorating my apartment, this way i can do it all the time in miniature, and it doesn't cost as much :) Barbie was just babysitting :) i'm almost finished the best in black diorama, just one more video and then onto a new project, the new diorama will definitely have a nursery :) thanks so much for watching and I love reading your comments :) have an awesome day my friend :)
@@GingerLolaMiniatures I would love for you to create another doll series and would love to watch it. Make is vampires and witches, like A Discovery of Witches. (ja,ja) I truly enjoy watching your videos. I always love how you put the designs together. I am a big reader and into architecture, so I find mirrored architect homes such as the homes of Doug Aitken, or Phillip K Smith simply stunning. So, then I build those houses for my Barbies with MDF. I even built mirrored furniture for my mirrored house. I built my "Sept-Tours Castle" ( A Discovery of Witches) for my Barbies with Cardboard boxes. I got a lot of the 1590s furniture for it from an Etsy shop. I built my AIW Steampunk Cottage for Barbie with the inspiration of Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter. I built my Pink Pop Barbie house from MDF based on the studio of Mark Ryden, the artist. I built my Jean-Michel Basquiat house from cardboard boxes based on Basquiat's blue period. The house is shades of blue. I used marquetry- I looked for free pictures of Basquiat's work, printed them, cut them out and glued them on the furniture pieces. Beautiful. All the furniture and paintings and walls are blues with Basquiat paintings inlayed on them. I built my Lilo and Stitch Barbie Hut because I was inspired by one of my friend's little girl who absolutely loves Lilo and Stitch. As I built a two story house for her, I decided to build one room hut for myself. I used a hula skirt from the Dollar Store to make the outside of the "grass hut". Little things inspire me to create. When I get in that mood my kids and grandkids know to "leave abuela alone. She is building a Barbie house." I hate it if I have to take them down, that is why I give them away to my friends daughters and grand daughters. It is a very relaxing hobby, and I love to see how it turns out in the end. Sometimes I can create in a day, and sometimes it takes a year. But, it is the ending that says it all - Albert Einstein said, "Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no one else ever thought." I see a piece of MDF wood and a cardboard box and I see soooooo many possibilities. Be blessed.
I would love it too, seems a shame to have all these sets and not create a series, i have been watching a show called Ghosts, the US version, and i love it, i was thinking of something like that, draculaura would be the 'ghost' but not a ghost, she would be a vampire and has to hide it....something like that, so hard finding time though :) your creations sound so amazing.... i love interior design, mostly design my spaces depending on the materials i have, and colour.... i have a marilyn monroe doll i want to create a dioarama apartment for, i'm thinking for her apartment i want to make it look glamorous but i want to try to add warmth to it as well....i also want to create a boho style apartment.... and maybe one that looks like my apartment, i have a lot of black and white, plus warm it up with wood tones, and i sprinkle blue throughout the apartment :) thank you so much Sharon :) be blessed my friend :)
@@GingerLolaMiniatures All of those are great ideas! I watch both the American version and UK version of GHOSTS. Both are tooo funny! I am currently watching HOUSE OF THE DRAGON and I cried sooo when Rhaneys, the queen who never was, died. I felt sorry for how sad her husband, Corlys Valerian looked sitting alone in his throne room- SOOOOOOOOO, I am building the castle DRIFTMARK!!!!!! Know this is set during before midevil days sooooooo I have been tearing up ETSY looking for midevilish furniture. All I find is very expensive midevilish furniture- but, I am determined. This is one of those project that will take me 6 months to a year to complete. I also decided the doll characters using Mattel Barbie dolls I will make are- Rhaneys Targeryen (the queen who never was), Corlys Valerian (the Sea Smoke), Daemon Targeryen and his wife, Rhanerya Targeryen. I am busy drawing diagrams and pictures of what I want everything to look like. I let you know at Christmas how it is going. Have a blessed day!!!
Hey Sharon, I love the American version more than the UK, my favourite is Pete... Haven't seen House of Dragon, not really into medieval type shows, but i haven't really given them a chance... maybe thos silcone molds would be great to add features to your work, i bought a couple i'm going to try to make frames with, i use hot glue and it seems to work.... Etsy stuff is usually expensive :) That all sounds fantastic, I would love to see it :) Have a blessed day too my friend :)
I love the rose! Picture above the fire place! ❤
Thank you so much :)
@@GingerLolaMiniatures yep
I love the wicker chair & frames!❣️ oh my goodness that planter is sooooo adorable!❣️❣️❣️ That cabinet is so cool!!❣️ I really like those cork coasters!❣️ You always find so many cool things!!❤ I looove those gold things!!❣️❣️❣️ Those gold framed pictures are really pretty!❣️I really looove the vintage Barbie stuff❤ I especially love the Sindy oven & stereo.❣️❣️❣️ I would google on youtube how to repair your new stereo. Years ago, I bought
a vintage stereo system that is Barbie size. It was expensive. You got some super good deals!!!! ❣️❣️❣️ That CD player is really super cute. ❤ That playpen thing, I wonder if it could be used as a dish drainer? Thank you for creating this awesome video and taking us along!❣️ It was super fun!!❣️
Hey, how are you? I love everything i found, i gasped at the vintage furniture, can't wait to work on it... and the record player.... love it :) i wish they had more doll stuff.... i got all that barbie furniture for $5 :) i'll definitely google it, would love to make it work, love that idea of a dish drainer, might be a bit too big? thank you sooooo much for coming along :) i have a couple more garage sale videos i'm working on from the last two weekends, and talize thrigt store is having a 50% sale on Monday :) then i'm back to the craft table.... :) have an awesome day my friend :)
The little cabinet could also be reworked into a kitchen pantry or hutch with more shelves. It could also be a book shelf and think it would be great as a bathroom vanity, your first thought.
And people love vinyl records again, forgot to mention before. You can use printed ads to cut out little squares then ad card stock to make little record album sleeves. Can't wait to see !
i think the cabinet will definitely be useful, i wish i had more, i would love to use them on all your ideas :) i was thinking a vanity, but maybe too thin, i am going back to the dreamhouse to work on it soon, i'm ripping out the whole kitchen, and might have to add more cabinet space....hope it fits :) i love the album idea, definitely making new albums....maybe i'll find some album cover pics online and use them.... i'm thinking it'll be perfect for Elizabeth Taylors apartmention diorama, i want to create a glamorous apartment with a lot of white, crystals, fur, but also want to warm it up with wood tones.... more of a contempory glamour look :) thanks so much for watching and commenting :)
Love the Sydney pieces and the sound's wiring is worth fixing if possible. Think the green chair on a new base is a good idea, you could use the base as a plant stand. It will be exciting to see what you do with great haul!
I would love to fix it, but not sure i can :) love the green chair, definitely needs to be raised, love the idea of using the base as a plant stand, that way, i'm not throwing anything out :) thank you so much for watching and commenting :)
Maybe the corks could be glued end to end to make pillars. They might look good painted, something like plaster.
That's a great idea :)
Those cushions could work for the chairs. You could make a 70s style diorama.
i think so too, i would love to create a 70's style diorama :) thanks so much for watching and commenting :)
Oh my goodness, that stero console reminds me of my grandparents! What wonderful finds!
I love it :) i want to create something so it sits on it, like a wood cabinet :) thank you so much :)
The places you thrift are so clean. Makes my town op shops look like dumps. The place mat things at 2:20 would make great screening for a pool scene.
Yup, most of the thrift stores are pretty clean and organized :) the garage sale in this video was so organized, and they had a lot :) the placemat was really thick, probably hard to cut without proper tools, but it would make a great pool scene :)
@@GingerLolaMiniatures I'm not always up to see your feed live but I sure do enjoy seeing all the beautiful items when I sit and catch up.
That's cool, thank you so much for watching and commenting :) i have taken a short break from crafting, but i have been thrifting so i have new thrift videos starting this saturday and whenever you have time to watch, i appreciate it so much :)
The green chair could b used for Chelsea too. That way u won't need to raise it. 💙💙 the brass vases. U could use them as columns as well. Of course that would depend on what ur making. I hope u try to fix the little stereo cabinet. I think it would b awesome.
thanks so much :) would be perfect for chelsea's room, painted pink....or white, pink polka dots?? i wish i bought more of the brass vases, they had so many.... i'm going to try to fix it :) i love it :)
What fun finds 😄
Thank you so much :)
Loved the video! I had those orange chairs when I was little! Oh how I wish my parents would have kept my Barbie things. I have a few dolls, but everything else is long gone. Thanks for sharing!❤️
Thank you so much :) me too, wish i kept some of the items from my childhood, i didn't have a lot of stuff, i do remember the barbie camper that i loved, but barbie's boyfriend was a teddy bear :)
Plant pots out of the corks or you can slice them and make floor wall tiles even shred them to make dust or dirt when painted vases!
i like those ideas, wish i grabbed them now :) thank you
@GingerLolaMiniatures lol. Yeah welcome!
I like living vicariously through your thrift hauls lol
I'm currently working on an apothecary and I'd definitely use the cabinet you found for potion bottles.
Thank you so much :) the cabinet would be perfect for potion bottles :)
Great finds!!! 🎉🎉🎉
thank you soooooo much :)
❤😊oh wow those were really great finds❤
Thank you so much :) best finds so far this year i think :) i wish they had more
Great finds I love the vintage furniture too but a lot of it was shorter because vintage furniture is usually shorter At the time everything was low to the ground. The orange pans come from a camping set I believe it was late 70s I have most of the set Mattel
That's ok, i think it'll be easy to raise up the stove part, and the orange chairs :) i can't wait to create a diorama with these pieves :) oh cool, i didn't even look up those smaller pieces, i didn't think i would find them :) i'll definitely try next time :) thanks so much for watching and commenting :)
Wait.... what was with the random doll baby hand sitting there with the jewelry and candles? LOL 🤣😂😅 That totally caught me off guard. All in all a good haul though.
lol :) thank you
@@GingerLolaMiniatures You're welcome ☺
Add a ottoman for the green chair ❤
Great idea!!! thanks so much for watching and commenting :)
love your videos! you scored at that one with the vintage Barbie stuff!! I had those chairs!
Thank you sooooo much :) definitely :) and the price was amazing! that's cool :)
A cabinet for the record player would be great, and maybe make some little record albums. I had that exact baby playpen, but I can’t for the life of me remember what playset it came with.
I found it. The playpen is from a 1972 Fisher-Price nursery set.
oh cool, i didn't even think to look for it, because i thought it would take forever to find :) thanks!
oh, i like that idea, making more record albums, and covers too :) thanks so much for watching and commenting :)
Awesome finds!
Thank you so much :)
The little cabinet could house small birds…
that's true :)
I'm jealous
i can't believe i found awesome barbie stuff :) thanks so much for watching :)
I'd make a pie cabinet
that would be cool :)
Please keep the swivel chair swiveling
ok, i think i can heighten the bottom without ruing the swivel :) i like that it swivels :)
you should paints eyes on the barbie baby doll
i ment paint
he could be sleeping :)
Just hot glue! Googlie eyes! On! Lol.😂
lol :)
@@GingerLolaMiniatures permanently? Lol.
A pie safe
Could you do a colorful room please not black or white
Sure, that sounds like fun, like dopamine decor?
