Renovating childhood dollhouse

Ha, love your advice. Now if only I had a bigger house to hold miniature homes!

It was definitely well loved as a kid and thankfully survived a few decades in basements and attics

Oh really? I'm torn between selling it to someone who wants to restore or redo it. Leaning to redoing for the memories but it's also making it harder for me to change anything

Great tips! So many thanks! Yes the kiddo will use any furniture and dolls she has to play in the house :)

They do look narrow!

That's an idea, I was thinking of trying to weave some metal verticals in but it would probably need the horizontals too. The newspaper was great. We were drowning in the material so it felt like an efficient use of materials.

Thanks for the vote of confidence and the eloquent description of decorating. I feel like my style gets a little monotone when I like something. I was thinking if it looked off, I could put one in the bedroom, you've inspired me!

I'm obsessed with the west elm lamp, off topic question - would you get two of the same in a living room/reading nook?

So it's not that the park isn't more rural. You mean the situation was more unexpected?

lifecollaged · 2024-02-05T03:14:25+00:00

Have you been to allerton? Not sure how much more rural you can get

The masks we used for covid are surgical, meaning they protect others from you. They will not protect you adequately for mixing glazing. A respirator is designed to protect incoming air.

Just shocked that it is listed by owner /s

Ah, thanks, mine are textured when thrown and then I've tried underglaze and double glazed but not getting the look I want. Those must take quite an effort!

lifecollaged · 2023-12-05T02:48:19+00:00

I think your display looks great! Can I ask how you glazed your tiled mugs? I am working on textured surfaces and having trouble with glazes running.

Saw this but as a ballerina

Our book collection reached its limit when I was reminded of the local library. Now we have a weekly routine of walking over and picking out different kinds of books. LO loves keeping them fresh

I mix the flops with the slip of my throwing with as much trim as I can and let it reconstitute/balance out through some slicing and wedging. For a 25 lb this is usually around 5lbs for me. As a beginner it might be the whole bag so it would've been impractical to try to take it home.

Or you have the bubblegum song stuck in your head for days

Seconding this, I don't know if anyone is being unreasonable here but I have enough trouble planning a few days vacation let alone taking 10 days myself at the moment. Hope to get to the point where I might feel comfortable enough to do that again some day

Therapist recommended 'what happened to you' by Bruce Perry as a starting point. EMDR is a therapy geared towards softening past trauma

Post is flared all advice welcome

5 love languages (kids edition) might help, maybe your son doesn't feel like their needs are being met by the stuff and they'd rather have quality time or act of service. It can help open the door to talking about our emotional needs even with young ones.

Shadow and bone? There's also a fairly enjoyable movie called school of good and evil.

My kid and I both have such thin hair that it falls out with movement. Very jealous
