Furniture for larger dolls?

Maybe look around at stores that sell novelty items such as couch jewellery boxes or something. There's a particular store in Australia (maybe just in Perth.. don't know...) but it's called Things..

Maybe look around at craft stores for miniatures on 1/3 scale. Or try some second hand shops or old toy stores/ antique stores, you might find a bargain and you'll have something no-one else has. :3

 

Not sure if many are available but I bought a chair a couple years ago that I like a great deal. I think it was Kingsgate or kingsstate. Something like that. I believe it was advertized as a teddy bear chair. Also you could try My Twinn. They have furniture. Or Target. I bought a doll wardrobe for 60.00 (included shipping) that is quite big and solid. For American girl size dolls but should work.

 

Childrens chairs can work, sometimes they are a bit too big, especially modern ones but the older antique ones I see then to be more in scale


I managed to find two "dining chairs" for kids that work well for 70cm+dolls at a local supermarket

 

Yes, Kingstate has stopped making doll furniture. I was told this by The Doll Market, and The Doll Peddler a few months ago.

 

You could also try and look for people online who do doll furniture and see if they could do a custom made order for you.

 

Was just on ebay. Found several chairs, a sofa, and a chaise that look to be big enough. One in fact was a kingstate.

 

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack!! I have been to several places yesterday and there are none that I can find in my area, it really sucks. Dollmore has the Model size sofa for $94.00 plus shipping, I told my hubby that I did not want to pay that kind of money for one

 

Volks USA sells furniture on their site, too.

 

Some Volks furniture is on ebay right now.

 

Mkay, so I have a question.
I hope this is in the right place, if not, then please move it
Here we go:
What about furniture for the SDs?
I know that american girl, and My Twinn stuff fits the MSDs, but what about those bigger kids?

I know that I've been looking everywhere for a metal, four poster bed with a canopy.
Or without.......... Whatever I can find, really.

So, what have you for your SD kids? Have you had to make it?

 

Hmm I can't say that I have seen those kinds of beds for sale but
Dollmore.net and Iplehouse.net both sell beds as well as other furniture. Volksusa.com (?) sales sofas and what not

Iple: http://www.iplehouse.net/shop/step_submain.php?b_code=B20050912095243
Dollmore: http://dollmore.net/shop/step0.php?b_code=B20071002024805&c_code=C20071002025423

Meant to add good luck and hope you find some stuff you like online or at a nearby store- I have heard of people using animal beds and what not-that may be an option for your canopy bed idea....?

 

I recently posted this on another thread, so this is a re-post...



Screen: from Y!J
Sofa: from Y!J
Table: from Y!J
Vase: from Y!J
Photo album (on the table's shelf): from Y!J
Lamp: from a local lamp shop
Asian style tea set: from a local Vietnamese themed interior decoration shop
Smaller, brown books (on the table's shelf): miniature calendars from 1915-1922, from a local used books shop
Table cloth: from the scrapbooking section of a local art supply shop
Cookies: cut from a wafer
Floral arrangement: from our garden's obliging snowberry bush!

To summarize: I get much of my stuff from Y!J, and the rest of it from local sources.

Firebirde, a really talented member of the Swedish doll society who makes furniture, makes a simply lovely bed in a modern asian style that I'll order from her one of these days when I have the funds....

 

Dog beds. I'm serious. Look up pet furniture and you'll find some that are sized about right for the 60 to 67cms dolls. Of course, some of them are going to be somewhat low to the ground but the "sofas" and "hcaise lounges" built for big dogs have longer legs.

 

A couple of sites:

http://www.dollpeddlar.com/index.php?cPath=501_1176 - Haven't ordered from here yet, but some of this might suit you.

http://victorianwoodshop.com/dolls2.html - Have ordered from here, great service! Will be ordering again as well, as dolly family is growing. Ping him about custom-work, as each piece is hand-made. Good luck!

Actually most American Girl furniture fits the SDs better than it does the MSDs. I have a number pf pieces in that size & it looks very good. As others have said, Kingstate stuff is wonderful & it does still show up on Ebay every now & then but it's getting more expensive than it used to be.

Also check out antique shops, flea markets & estate sales. You can find some nice things there. The really fine antiques can be pricey but occasionally there are bargains to be had.
