Hi Brae,

It looks perfect. Now where would it go, hmm….

Susan

I’m so curious about where this fits in…can’t wait for the final reveal.

I like that bed. You, dear, have wonderful taste.

You’ll make the deadline, I don’t doubt it a bit. Go, Brae, go!

I can’t believe the deadline is so close! I’m really excited for the big reveal!

Thanks for the added info! I will take better care of the new syringe.

Thank you!

One of my friends asked me what I will build next, and I promptly fainted.

I going to need a week of naps after this is all over…and a cleanup crew.

Thanks for the added info. I will have to check Hobby Lobby the next time I am in need!

Thank you!!!

I will reveal the window technique soon!

Hi Brae!

How rude not to leave you with enough rope :-) Good luck with your deadline. Breathe…. You can do it, although I don’t know how you do it with sewing a complete outfit and blogging and well everything :-)

Susan

I love that bed. Looks great all strung.

Magnificent!

EEEeeeeekkkkk! CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!

The stuff you use to detail your car such as products you wipe on vinyl dashboards and car seats, put on tires to shine them up or rub on door gaskets and windshield wipers will work to lubricate a gasket in a syringe. Those products often have silicone or teflon in them. Soak the gasket in them, then rinse with soapy water and reinstall the gasket in the syringe

Avoid putting petroleum based lubricants such as petroleum jelly on rubber and plastics.

OOo I think I can see a ..uhhh..darnit!! Spill the beans!!!!!!!!!

ok I will wait…somewhat patiently..

Can’t wait to see!! I love the textured pane in the window. How did you make that?

P.S. I forgot to tell you that I particularly stressed the mucilage. I used it to wallpaper with some embossed white scrapbook paper, then I painted the paper with a couple coats of watered down paint. The mucilage held up well - no buckling, curling, bubbling, etc.

Hi Brae!

Love the wallpaper name :-) Much appreciate the information about the pastes and tests. Can’t wait to see where that particular wallpaper is going. Interesting.

Susan

Wheeee! I’m excited for the big reveal!!!!

I’m excited to see!

Necessity is the mother of invention!

What a great sneak peak photo. It really does make you want to know what is going on in there. I am certainly looking forward to seeing what is in there upon the reveal.

I have used this a lot and after many years, it’s still holding with no issues. FWIW, Hobby Lobby usually carries this - it’s one of the few miniature items they do carry (plus flat tape “wire” and tranformers). Always looking to save with that 40% off coupon …

I’ve used it on all the wallpapered walls in my dollhouse. I really love it. And this dollhouse came to me damaged, with irregularities on the surface of the walls. Mucilage has really worked.

Hi Brae! I have used that Mucilage on the only wallpapering I have done… in my Cupboard House Dining Room… (Oh that neglected house….) and in the bedroom of the Lovely Old Dollhouse and in the upstairs of the Folly and I have had no issues with any buckling or bubbles of any kind. It has stayed put just perfectly… and we go from very humid in the Summer to Painfully dry in the Winter! I had thought to try “real” wallpaper paste… but they make the formulas with all sorts of additives these days… so I was happy to find the mini jars of the Mucilage. I can’t wait to see where you have applied your wallpaper!!! (I find these secret building projects a little annoying… I want to see the step by step as it goes project!!!!) Okay, I’m done pouting now… I LOVE all the things you make, and your work and your meticulous processes are very inspiring! Please keep up the great work!

Good thinking!

As I often use large syringes to give medicine to my dogs, I learned a very useful trick to extend their ‘life’ until I can get another one: remove the plunger (is this correct?) and apply some petroleum jelly to the rubber part. Remove excess lightly with paper towel. Put it back. Works like magic!

You’ll eventually have to get a new one, but it’ll work like new for a while…

Oh, and fiy, I bought my jar in 2010. Still good! Yay

Hi Brae, Thanks for sharing this information. Wallpaper can be such a difficult problem to resolve if it all goes wrong. Appreciated your testing it in different circumstances.
Regards Janine

Interesting. I haven’t had any problems with YES, but now I’m all curious about this paste….. Perhaps I’ll order some in the future.

Hi Brae! Good thinking! An effective and practical solution. I think that the idea of using the glue syringe for the spackling is invaluable, so thanks for sharing it. The make-shift pastry bag has worked to your benefit and the application for that narrow strip, is nice and clean.
Here in Canada, we celebrate Our Thanksgiving in October, but this year, we have adopted the U.S custom of a ‘Black Friday’ weekend, and consequently the stores are a Zoo! Good for us who are in retail but if your not into crowds, it IS best to stay home!
enjoy your turkey!

Great idea to use a “glue syringe” for spackling! And double great idea to make a pastry bag looking thing for a replacement!

Happy Thanksgiving

Cheers,
Iris

Happy thanksgiving dearie! Great job on figuring out such a simple speedy solution.

Oh I like yours better than how they had it painted! its really great!

Happy Thanksgiving Day, Brae! :-D

They are amazingly detailed railings, I am getting very excited for all the new laser cutting dollhouse plans they are producing.

Have a wonderful Holiday

I love this bathroom. I recently bought the Chrysnbon bathroom kit for the Garfield manor. May I use some of the photos from this post on my blog as inspiration photo?

Just flicked blogs to see your hat which is fabulous. I can’t wait to see the full costume. I love the design. I also love the railings. Simple yet classy.

Love that design! I haven’t seen anything like it before!

Sweet!

Such a lovely design, those are fabu laser cut pieces

PS: Great job on the books!

So perfect! I love the worn look and your choice of hardware, friend. Beeeoooooooooootiful.

Those pulls are awesome! Nice job as always!

I like this. It co-ordinates really well with it’s background and it looks a much more expensive piece too.

What an excellent find that runner was and at a great price too. I’ve added that to my “good ideas” list. It really is a very effective way of creating panelling.

Hi Brae,

Love the look of the desk, especially with those drawer pulls! It really looks good with the added accessories.

Susan

It looks wonderful! Those drawer pulls are such a nice touch. I made that kit once and the drawers stuck shut and then my 3 year (at the time) son got a hold of it and that was the end of that.

Very nicely finished!

Très joli ce bureau, j’aime beaucoup les poignées ! et le rendu couleur avec la pièce est parfait.
Bon dimanche,
Marie

Yes, love the look and love the drawer pulls.

I love it, too! I’m crazy about the pulls. You always change the wee details to make things look so much more interesting, modern, or real. Love that.
