Sorry, i just was screen shooting and didn't click on any links; it came from here but says it's sold out. I'll do an image search and see if anyone else has it:

Well, it's sold out everywhere, but I did find these!

Maybe something here?

I like this one with your wallpaper, too:

one more:

That's pretty, but I like fringe so that it looks ruggy.

Does this (available) one work? Yay or nay.

I'm thinking it lacks imagination now that I see it here.

Down to these two. Really can't decide and am ready to toss a coin.

It has fringe, just cropped in photo.

I thought I would prefer the second rug design, but when I put it in the room, the pattern looked too close to the wallpaper, but just enough off to look like a mistake. The first rug fits the room better, with enough of the blue and a pattern that doesn't fight with the wallpaper.

Here's on Etsy. I tried adding this and your other choices into the room, but my laptop is acting up. red and blue rug

I was able to put the two rugs you have narrowed it down to into the room, just can't post the pics. I think the first one looks great.

Small warning: mousepads can be quite thick because of the backing...

Thanks, Roxanna. On a dollhouse forum, someone suggested that they peel apart easily. Can you go ruin yours in the name of science? Just kidding and thanks for the warning. ;)

Teeda, I have great faith in you. :) I ordered the first one and am absolutely appalled at how much time I spent in this rabbit hole. Worst case scenario, I'll give my hubby a mouse pad if it looks terrible. Thank you and everyone else, for helping me.

That looks like a wonderful choice!

I think it's a great choice, and it ties in the beautiful red of the front door!

Jojo, this was in a box with about 87 other little things (mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be thrifters) and I thought of your dollhouse project, if you would like it, I would be happy to send it to you. It’s a “Turkish Miniature Carpet”, approx 4” x 6”, in a frame. It’s nor your LR colors, haha, but maybe another room. It has fringe on both ends, somehow i cut off the pic, also, colors are primary and quite vibrant, and the material is woven, not stamped, but quite thin, maybe cotton or cotton/silk, it has a bit of a sheen to it. Anyway, if you want it, it’s yours.

I just now realized I have one of those Oriental carpet-look mouse pads, but it is SO dirty I dare not share a photo. Been using it for years, bought it at Staples. I suppose I could lightly take a scrub brush to it. I don't want the pattern to come off tho.

lakeaffect, what a wonderful offer! The rug is so cool! unfortunately I’ve already wallpapered the rooms and I m not sure the colors will work. I wonder if blubell can use it on her dollhouse project? But oh my gosh you are so kind to think of me. ❤️Thanks!

Oh, you are so welcome, jojo, it seems like a natural fit for a dollhouse somewhere, and thank you for the suggestion, blubird, does the little rug fit into your color scheme? If so, I'd be happy to send it to you.

Thanks for your offer Lakeaffect, but all my rooms are done. We are finishing up repairs to the electrical system and have added some LEDs to enhance the room lighting. Next up is adding more lighting to the attic and replacing the front columns which were removed when we bricked the front walkway about 15 years ago. ( sounds like real life) and the coach light above the front door needs to be replaced. I’ll be posting pictures soon.

Oh my! I bought tony soprano‘s rug. How did I not notice the metallic gold thread? Lol,May this be my biggest issue these days. I’m still laughing!

(the border and trim line are metallic. More so than shows up here. It is also scattered throughout the rug. I’m keeping it as a reminder to not take this project so seriously.)

That is hilarious, I’m glad you are keeping it. What’s that saying...every room needs a little bling? (i never believed it either.)

Can't see the gold on the monitor, but I just wanted to say the room looks gorgeous!! I love the fire screen. Is that something you repurposed? You are so creative!

Thanks Teeda. The fire screen was a fancy black barrette from weddings gone bye. The clip part gave out so I blinged it up (good reminder Kswl) and used it here.

Love it, very clever!

This is an amazing project! You could do this for a living! I'd buy one of your dollhouses!

Beautiful.

Beagles, find an old one on FB marketplace and give it a shot! There are lots in the Philly area. (or, at least there were a month or so ago.) There are tons of tutorials and facebook groups to help with handholding. It's also pretty forgiving if you make a mistake (or ten.) I loved making gingerbread houses and this is pretty much the same, although no cans holding up the walls, lol)

I would encourage everyone to do this. It is actually very relaxing and zen-like when your working on it. Plus, you can create your dream designs without the usual practical restraints.

I have been following your progress from the sidelines. I admire your vision, talent, and resourcefulness. My mother built and furnished dollhouses after she retired. She would have been very excited about your project.

I am having flashbacks to my childhood. I spent hours looking through discontinued wall paper books to paper my dollhouse. I made potholder rugs for mine along with some burlap coasters. I spent all my gift money on doll house furniture. You are very talented!

Here is another update:

I've been working on valances, (sorry, KSWL). They are a sneaky way to cheat on curtains as they hide hardware and mistakes so well. I would have covered them in wallpaper, but I ran out of the living room wallpaper (from England) so all are just painted. The "curtains" are made from ribbon. The shade in the bathroom is made from a cut up sushi mat.

Valance #1: Bedroom. I know the scale is off, but I couldn't find a ribbon that had all these colors in dollhouse size. I'm not a purist for sure.

Valance #3: Bathroom

I leave on the 16th for my summer cottage in CT. My dollhouse will not be going. I probably could use the break, but I will miss it. I'll try to work on some individual pieces there.

Thanks for following along down my rabbit hole.

Jo

I’ll come out of lurking to say how fantastic your doll house is. What an imagination you have! Maybe for your sidetable you could stick a little piece of veneer (from a roll of veneer?) in the empty circle part...and that would leave the base ...maybe something with a golf tee, some kind of pedestal? I LOVE miniatures (sounds like a bumper sticker -lol)

I’m in love with the doggie wallpaper. What happened with your Facebook marketplace exchange?

We’re almost finished updating the dollhouse and it’s ancillary general store. We ordered and received new transformers, acrylic for the general store, LEDs are in place and we are awaiting receipt of a coach lantern for the dollhouse. Columns have been set back into place since they had been removed for brick sidewalk 10+ years ago.

I love everything you have done. I like the scale of the plaid in the bedroom-looks "designer"! Can't wait to see what you do with some of the furniture you bought. So much fun to watch your progress!

So cute. What about a bale from a champagne cork for the base of the nightstand? Painted black. Not sure about the scale.

eta, I just looked up what the wire piece is called: a muselet!

Or maybe just the cork, flattened on top with your little doodad glued on?

Oh thanks you guys. Oly, that's an awesome idea! We just had some spritzes the other day...wonder if dh kept the ring? Off to check!

I'm always up for a reason to open a bottle of bubbly!

You may have created the only cute valances 🤔. I especially like the polka dot one, it looks like a riff on a fancy sheer.

I am having such fun watching your creations. As a child, we lived near Children's Museum in Boston and we went there often. They had an amazing room filled with decorated dollhouses, I would stare at them for hours. You are bringing back good memories, I can't wait to see the interior. Thank you for the smiles on my face.

I like how you are creating things, not just buying.

Fun!

Well, just in case you get bored, here's a cute project using your new skills:

She made dollhouse door covers for her electrical outlets, lol!

Totally jelly of your creation, Jojoco. The fire screen! TDF

I want it.

Or at least I wanna sleepover in the toile room.

jojoco, I'm dragging this up to ask -- did you ever find the right dog statue for your doll house? lol! I just stumbled onto a site with small resin dogs. If the scale works with your doll house, I thought you might consider compromising with a resin statue in a specific breed. Bonsai Outlet dog figurines -- they have pages of choices!

How did I miss this thread?! Love it! Such a cool project. :)

Party, I did, sorta. I ended up ordering a golden retriever figurine and then making my own sculpy basket and painting it all. Here's how it came out:

I’m in awe. 😍

Oh, he's fabulous!!! and perfect at the front door!

Incredible. Perfect door mat too.

So glad this popped back up. I saw a darling dollhouse listed at an estate sale. I remembered Jo’s dollhouse and thought maybe I would give this one antry. Then i remembered that i can barely manage my real life house and thought better of it it. Love the dog!

This just looks like so much fun!! I have some of the same kind of fun with fairy stuff, both indoor and outdoor. I've always been fascinated by crafting rooms for dolls and the like. Had several rooms set up for my Barbie dolls on shelves when I was young, with stuff I both made and collected over the years. I've worked on some similar montages for my bay window in the guest bedroom which doubles as my "boudoir" of sorts.

I can't believe I didn't see this thread before now! Great job, Jojoco! Productive, creative and fun.

My grandmother built a dollhouse for my younger sister, but I think I loved it even more than she did. I always thought it would be great fun to do one. The only one I have done was inside a jewelry box. I remember the bed was a fabric covered penny and I thought a round bed was the coolest thing ever. It would be fun to do a standard sized one.

It‘s fabulous Jo!

Gorgeous, as always, Jo.

Are you familiar with CP Goodrich? I came across her on IG and thought of you, naturally.

PS It occurs to me I may have already shared this IG, in which case, Never mind :-)
