Woodworking Dollhouse

For any collector or maker of a dollhouse, a key element, focal point, and fascination with them are the dollhouse accessories. They can be bought over eBay, sold from vendors at a store or market or even purchased through specialty websites. If you don’t want to go out and buy accessories and would rather do crafting and woodworking in general, there are plenty of options and ideas available for making doll accessories.

Along with the human dolls, dollhouse pets have become popular among those collectors who want to add a little cuteness to their collection. Since most kids like to think of dolls as their little friends, children will love these pets as companions for their dolls. Pets available are numerous including dogs, cats, rabbits, owls, livestock and even food for the miniature pets and animals.

Just like a bathroom in a real home, a dollhouse home needs some decorations for the bathroom that are sure to spruce up the environment as well as add a little individuality and comfort. These include anything found in your own home like towels, towel racks and soap.

To make a living area or bedroom area more realistic, it might be a good idea to have some reading materials on-hand for your display. Not only does it make the dolls look more human, but it also makes them appear more intellectual. If you’re lucky enough you can buy miniatures of the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, or Time Magazine which seem to be the standard displays in any miniature or life-size dollhouse display.

Just as the dollhouse needs some accessorizing, so do the dolls. While clothing is important for them to wear, it should also be on display in the closet or bedrooms. These include such things as robes, shoes, dresses, and even ties.

Sometimes the most interesting of the accessories on display are the essentials. Food and drinks are such essentials. For the dining room you can display a Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner. Does your dollhouse have a bar or lounge? Add some cocktails, wine glasses, and some wine bottles. In the kitchen, along with the dishes, the kitchen table can be set-up for lunch or breakfast or perhaps a pantry stock full of Quaker Oats, Corn Flakes, and other canned goods.

Along with the usual essentials such as electrical appliances, kitchen accessories, and other home décor, it’s always nice to find something unique and different to add to the personality of your doll house. If you look on the right websites, and search in the right places you can find unique accessories for your dollhouse.

These are just a few of the many accessories you can purchase for your dollhouse to give it a unique flair all your own. From the themes ranging from Victorian style to the 1960s, these accessories are out there. And if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, don’t be afraid to make one yourself. With a little time and effort, your accessories will add to the charm and nuance of your own little dollhouse.

Metal in Dollhouse Furniture

Most furniture is made out of wood, however there are many nontraditional or quirky fun pieces that need a metal material. One fine example is out door barbecues, not only are they a wonderful addition that just makes you dollhouse fun, but they would not be possible without some great metal work. You will find the biggest selection of metal dollhouse pieces in the outdoor category, but some feature collections like laundry room are ideal for this medium.

Children’s Room and Nursery

The most charming and appealing rooms in any dollhouse are the children’s and nursery rooms. Children’s rooms can be playful or peaceful, and the accessories you can add (toy blocks, children’s books, and even a doll’s dollhouse) are charming as can be. A baby’s nursery, with its delightful furniture items and styles, will make your dollhouse as homey as can be.

Dollhouse Kitchen Furniture

The variety within dollhouse kitchen sets is enormous: you can purchase just two or three necessary pieces, or you can choose a luxurious roomful-and everything in between A table and chairs are important to have in your kitchen if your dollhouse will not have a dining room. Some of the most fantastic dollhouse accessories belong in the kitchen (such as cookie tins for the cabinets and a gallon of milk for the fridge), so make sure you have room to exhibit them

Dollhouse Furniture Material: Poly-resin

A growing market in the way of dollhouse material is the use of poly-resin in miniature accessories and furniture. Poly-resin is a material blend between a polyester fabric and a hard resin giving it a unique feel and texture that works great for molding. This material is used in many places in the dollhouse including living rooms and kitchens; it is also a durable material that resists fading over time.

Picking Walnut Material for Dollhouse Furniture

Walnut wood grows very slowly and hence has a very colorful and strong grain. Its color is softer than mahogany and fits traditional dollhouses very well. It is seen in most bedroom and kitchen sets as the material of choice. Walnut is also great due to its durable nature.

Dollhouse Laundry and Sewing Rooms

One way to bring a lot of interest to your dollhouse is to add a laundry or sewing room. Laundry rooms usually imply a more current time; sewing rooms are a little more old-worldly picturesque. With either room, just a few accessories–like an ironing board or box of thread–bring a lot of charm to your dollhouse

Unfinished Dollhouse Furniture and Kits

Unfinished furniture and furniture kits give you the same satisfaction and freedom that you get from building your own dollhouse kit. Furniture kits include items you put together yourself that will look like their picture once they are completed. Unfinished furniture items are already assembled, but you can design them to look any way you want.

Dollhousecity offers dollhouse furniture, kits accessories, and helpful hints in setting up your dollhouse furniture.
