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

I have a whole room that I have filled with doll rooms. It started years before my first BJD arrived, Most are filled with OT dolls, but the BJDs have rooms now, also.

 

So far I have a couple of American Girl and Our Generation furniture for my minifees. The scale is pretty good, furniture wise, but the props are out of proportion a bit. Some are a hit, others a major miss. but I don't have a set place for their rooms or anything. And I mostly keep the furniture in boxes in my closet.

 

I just love collecting different style of chair for my girls. And now I have more chair than my girls orzzzz

 

I have a chaise lounge and to dressers for my MSD. I would love to make him a box room.

 

I really like to find stuffs for my doll shelf, i found little lamps and small chairs and tables.

 

yes l am not the only one that loves finding bjd furniture/props.

Right now I am trying to figure out what size of furniture would fit a 35cm bjd.

 

Ooo I just bought my crew a sofa. Its pretty big and can possibly fit 5, 65cm dolls in. I'm just glad I had enough space in my wardrobe if not that thing gotta go. I was also looking at getting them a bed set. But it'll be too big for my room. Maybe in the future

 

I look all over from antique shops, to craft stores and even Home Goods and Michaels. Here is my album on Flickr of the many things in my room as well as my room set up for my girl.

For example, couch, IKEA small dog bed, cabinet from Marshalls, blankets and cushions I made, and the props range from craft stores to Amazon.

 

I would like to get in the future but for now , I do not have anything .

 

I've got two SD-sized chairs and a table which I bought second-hand and two cupboards from a local household store. I've also got a book-case which was sold along with the mini books but it's in my parents' place now. I'd really like to make at least doll corners in the future, not sure about rooms as I mainly own SDs.

 

Same here. I want to create two different dioramas, and have been collecting the small accessories for years, but hadn't aquired any actual furniture until now. I just bought the American Girl roll Top Desk and swivel chair. My plan is to create an office or study for my MSDs. I also have items to make a child's bedroom for my YOSds, but that is farther down the road.
Where I live now, there is no space for displaying dolls properly or for dioramas.

 

I have several vignettes for my dolls scattered throughout my home. I look upon them as art installations, and they can be anything from a “room” atop a dresser or on top of my roll top desk, or a larger designated room in a big piece of furniture with shelves, to a fun attic display on an oversized nightstand for my tinies. Just anywhere they can become a fun part of my general decor and look good while doing it. For furniture, I’ve picked up pieces from thrift stores, bought sofas and accessories right here in the marketplace, made things by cobbling together interesting bits and pieces I’ve had laying around, made rugs by cutting up small tapestries, and purchased some key American Girl pieces from the company. For my “hat shop” I had my husband put together some dowels with wooden bases and discarded string-light globes to make hat stands. One of the dolls in my plant conservatory sits atop a small stack of vintage gardening books. Basically, when it comes to furnishings, I’m always open to anything and everything that can explain and enhance my doll’s characters…their personalities are emulated through the rooms.

 

I didn't buy furtinures for my dolls, however, when I was young, I tried to make furniture for them.

 

I'm afraid I am a hoarder of bjd furniture and props. I like realistic life-like photos, so...

 

I have enough furniture and props to make multiple dioramas. I'm trying to rein it in, as my storage space is finite.

 

I currently don't have any furniture for my SD size girls, but I want some so bad! I want to make them a little walk in closet!

 

I have been spoiling my resin children with mini toys. I also got the Our Generation Hot Chocolate booth and kinda want a couple other playsets. I kinda want to make a couple couches as well so they have somewhere to sit when at my desk. I don't really have space for big sets though....

For my Ob11 sized BJDs, I've made a couple little diorama sets and have scaled up D&D tabletop mini furniture models and printed them in their size.

I also made a brick wall backdrop, then when I was on my last two weeks at my old work location before transferring to a location closer to where I live, I brought the backdrop into work with a bunch of markers and stickers, and encouraged my co-workers there to vandalize my wall (within a few content guidelines). xD I mostly use it when I just want to take a quick photo of an outfit I made or something.

 

I'm absolutely obsessed with collecting props, it might just be like 30% of the appeal of the doll hobby to me tbh! I love miniature things in general and finding cool scaled (or almost-in-scale) props is SO satisfying.

Generally it's also super helpful for background decor when doing doll photoshoots too, that's my main reason for collecting doll props and furniture.

 

The only props I would really like to get is a table and a few chairs/sofa. I have no idea where I would find 1/4 sized furniture so I just kind of keep an eye open at thrift stores for anything that could be repurposed into doll furniture.

 

I'm not interested in building "rooms" or dioramas at the moment, however, I do enjoy collecting props and own some 1/3 furniture. I enjoy doing themed photoshoots and building outfits from different pieces, so props are a fun part of putting that all together.
