Our dollar store finally got some miniature furniture. It is too red for me but I will probably paint it. There were a few other pieces as well but these were the ones that I liked best.
I bought some of that furniture also. I had a few visitors since my purchase and they were crazy about that red paint. They don't think I should paint them. I don't even know what I want to do with them yet. But, I think I'll save a few for a brocante I would like to do someday and it's also nice to have a darker piece here and there in the dollhouse. I find it breaks the monotony of all the pastel colours.
Your dollar stores are great, I was there when I was in Canada, My husband thought I had bought them all empty, I had to pay extra when we flew back! Next time I come with empty suitcases! ;D * marlies
I first entered the world of miniatures when my husband gave me a dollhouse for Christmas in 2005. I had never had a dollhouse as a child but I had always been fascinated by miniatures. I found this to be a very satisying, relaxing hobby.
I am now retired and married for 50 years to a wonderful man who has always treated me with respect and love. I have three children, four grandchildren,two new step-granchildren, two cats, and a dog. We like the simple things in life; a walk through a quiet forest, the song of birds, and the beauty of nature.
I bought some of the same furniture at my dollarstore. The coffee table I turned into a dinning room table to match my green and cherry kitchen.
ReplyDeleteVery red, the the colour the boss likes in a car ;-)
ReplyDeleteSon preciosos y además baratos, eso es tener suerte por partida doble :-)
ReplyDeleteAus den Möbeln kann man mit Farbe doch ganz viel machen. Leider gibt es bei uns so etwas nicht im 1Euro-Laden.
ReplyDeleteAber... im Urlaub in Australien werde ich mal schauen. Da habe ich auch schon oft nette Möbel zum günstigen Preis bekommen.

great finds!
ReplyDeleteI've used some of these pieces, too. The red is pretty persistent, lol. I recommend a coat of gesso before painting. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteIsn't the dollar store great for minis? :)
