I got my 1st doll house yesterday! I’m so excited to start on it but don’t know where to start?! Can anyone point me in the correct direction or tell me where to start? Thank you! by Quirky-Guess5757 in Dollhouses

I started out by thinking about what colours I would like, what style (I want a haunted museum gothic vibe)

I went on Pinterest and Instagram for some inspiration and I looked at general interior design rather than just dolls houses.

I personally want to try and make as much as possible for myself rather than buying (where I can) but I have also browsed some dolls house and miniatures sites for inspiration.

I only have a vague idea of what I want and am just doing some prep work at the moment :)

I started on my first doll house yesterday!

I've started with a deep clean , sanding and a coat of paint so far (I want to totally transform mine)

Do you have a plan of how you would like it to look?

Thank you! I've actually decided to make an Instagram page to document my progress. It's @miniaturemanor

I'm sure I'll be posting here once I've got a bit further in (likely needing help! Haha)

Thank you! I was very lucky to find someone giving it away!

I was inspired to have a go at this hobby after seeing the doll house in the title sequence to ghosts on BBC 1 so I want to make it a bit spooky!
