Do you collect furniture/props or room settings for your dolls??

Well, I do not really collect them. I intend to have a diorama setup on a pasting table. I am planning to do a living room set, quite old-fashioned with some velvety sofas and a nice cupboard. I have collected several sofas, which need to be modified a bit (they are a tad too low), otherwise I am not really quite set what my crew needs. But if I like something and it does not cost too much, I will get it. Though I have big problems finding a nice table for 70 cm guys and 62 cm ladies.

Right now, I do that pretty spontaneously, but that may change in the future. When that big table is set up.

 

I have quite a bit of doll furniture. A table and chair set, a couple of couches, a custom made oak armoire, a tall chest of drawers, a couple of occasional tables, a rocking chair, two benches, well, lots of chairs really, vases of flowers, really, the only thing I don't have for them is a bed. I want an Egyptian throne for them too, this and a bed I guess I will have to make. I collect tea sets for them too, my most recent score was an antique cloisonné set., with blue dragons , so pretty!

 

I find it hard to resist furniture and props in the right scale for my dolls so I have a plethora of props I've made or bought and some furniture I've made and some purchased. I'm always on the search for new stuff or ideas.

 

I have a whole room of props and most can't even be seen unless you open a bin, or pull on a drawer. But I have lots and lots of stuff from furniture to fake food.

@animemom WOW! What an awesome doll heaven! I now have a new goal in life- this!

I really love the idea of having a whole world where my dolls can have everything! I'm working on making a modern bedroom form my SD girl, and after that I'll be working on a wizard study for my SID boy I make a lot, but I love finding treasures in thrift stores- mostly boxes, baskets, bottles, and trunks- and I'm really looking forward to the day their rooms are fleshed out!

 

Thanks, the family had lived in a home where we added four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Although we lost a downstairs bedroom as it was where the stairs had to go. But then after only four years in it hubby got a job offer that required us to move. I was getting out of dolls then and had a horse, so for me it was important to get a barn and pasture. We were lucky and found a three bedroom and three bathroom house with two bonus rooms in basement. When I got out of horses and back into dolls the extra room was mine. Now been in basement for ten years and three months.

 

not really, most of the time i want to make them my self 'cause i want my things to be uniquely mine alone.

 

Yes definitely! I have all MSD and SD dolls right now so it's hard to find the money and space for big furniture sometimes, but it's worth it to me, I just love making a little world for them! Right now I have stuff from the online store DollMarket, a local thrift store, MyTwinn, and from a con. There's a lot of American Girl stuff I want but they're so pricey haha. I also love collecting little props so I have a lot of random little things like books and food items. Cons are great places to pick that stuff up, that's where I got most of my props and like I said, some of my furniture!

 

I find it very difficult to find suitably scaled furniture for my SD-sized gang.

1/3 doesn't work as that assumes that they are adults, and my SD-sized gang are mostly children, so 1/3 is too small when I need it to be big enough to look like adlult sized furniture being used by children. I need it to be closer to 1/2 scale than 1/3, I suppose - assuming a 2ft doll is the quivalent of a 4ft child etc.... and pieces of that scale would take up a lot of space.

I have a few dining-style chairs that work but so far all the other chairs and tables I've found work better for child MSD/1/4 dolls.

I really love seeing the rooms people design for their dolls. I don't have enough room sadly. I mostly have chairs and smaller props.

 

I would love to find a 1/3 sofa for my future dolls, but anything beyond that I think would take up way too much space

 

I wouldn't have the room for any furniture or props, but that's fine with me. That's not so much my thing, compared to just having the dolls themselves and making them clothes and stuff.

 

I eventually plan to have a room or area dedicated to dolls for indoor photoshoot purposes, with authentic set pieces. Amazing photos are what got me interested in this hobby, and I'd love to keep that chain going

 

I don't have a "doll house" or "doll room" per se since they all "live" in my cabinet LOL. But I do collect doll furniture and props for photo-taking! I recently bought an oriental style chair which cost me quite a bit including shipping, but I've yet to take photos of it yet. To be very honest I don't have space anymore for their stuff, especially for all the SD scale furniture but shopping for the dolls is really addictive! (can't stop)

 

I don't have any furniture besides one 1/3 sized chair, but it's too big for my SD sized dolls, it's more like an uncle size. So I'm really on the lookout for SD sized sofas or benches right now that don't cost an arm and a leg. It's not so easy to find modern 1/3 sized stuff, I don't like the old fashioned 50s style you mostly get here too much.

 

miniatures/set building was the interest that led me to BJDs! right now i have a dollmore bed and a cute little living room set i found at ikea for my mature tiny (and toooons of little rement/miscellaneous minis lol) i really want to make her a little itabeya style roombox but the bookshelf i use for display isn't super big :,(

 

I really love doll furniture, however I've never been able to find any that are suitably sized. Not that I have the room for furniture, but I can always dream!

 

I would love to build a diorama for my dolls, but maybe I should just get a very long sofa for them to sit on because I want my diorama to be sophisticated and probably not have enough funds for it.

So far I have got a clothing rack and shelves to put my doll stuff and that's it.

 

oh! I also make my own set pieces, I use scrapbooking paper glued on to either hard cardboard or the type of thick thick thick cardstock you need a stanley knife to cut. lately Kaiser Craft has come out with some great floor pages as well so now I have floors to go with my walls

 

I buy things here and there. Premade stuff atm.

One day there will be a doll armoire with multiple environments inside, but for now, I'm content to just collect the items.
