1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

How do you keep your dolls?

Dec 27, 2006

    1. My dolls are in their boxes in my closet to keep them safe when not being played with. I hope to get them a dust-protecting glass this year so I can keep them out without worrying about dust getting all over them. My room is so dusty, no matter how many times I clean it a week, I have no idea why.
       
    2. I keep my doll in closet, safe from light and dust. Moreover I can play with them easily.
       
    3. I keep my dolls in dust free display cases and out of any sunlight. Someday I'll get furniture and put it in the display case with them to make it more like a home XD
       
    4. I have a spare small room which is now my doll room. I keep all my dolls there, including their stuff (clothes, wigs, eyes, boxes, etc). My dolls are all on one big table. The table is about 2 meters long, so all my current dolls fit there. Some are standing (65+ with hooves in doll stands, some tinies standing on their own) and others are just sitting down, with some of the tinies on their lap.
       
    5. I don't think I could ever just keep Agatha in her box! To my way of thinking, what's the point of spending all that money on her if I'm not going to have her out and about to enjoy? Of course, I know you "box keepers" wonder what the point of buying them is if they get damaged, but hey, to each their own.

      Agatha lives on my desk, either sitting on my little subwoofer which is perfect 1/3 chair height, or standing between my computer and my left speaker like she is now. I like having her there; she keeps me company while I do homework or surf the net.
       
    6. My two big boys lounge on the futon couch in my bedroom, and my tiny is posed on a shelf next to a neat Jack Skellington mug and little nick tacks.
       
    7. I don't have a special bag, or shelf for my doll to go on, so I suppose I will just keep her in my bed. I plan on cuddling the poor dear to death! :XD:
       
    8. I keep two of my boys in box,it can be avoided the sunshine & damp.
       
    9. Thankfully my room is pretty dark (my cave ;) ) and I have a great high up white shelf drilled into my wall. It's HUGE and away from light even artificial light :) That's where the kids sit!
       
    10. I have a space on top of my drawers where I can put my Tsuki. x3 I'm currently setting it up and ready to go so that way she has some place to be. I don't have to worry about my cats because they don't go on there to get to the window. Plus they're really good at not getting on everything.
       
    11. My two big girls live on a shelf in my work-room bookcase. I belong to those who are straddling the fences, on one hand I don't want to have them exposed to sun and on the other hand I truly believe in part of the point of owning them is that I can see them. So to compromise I've put up thick black curtains on my bookcase, that way when I'm not looking I can pull the curtains and know that they are safe from the sun. Though to be honest not much sun gets in to my workroom.

      My tiny (a brownie) moves around a lot more. He's a bit of a purse doll so most of the time he spends in an case made for glasses. Right now though he's sitting on my sewing machine and the other day he sat by my partner's computer.
       
    12. I have just got my doll, I have made a bedroom for her i my room with bed, table chester drawers :3 so I have full bedroom for ehr, but in the future i'll make her a house heheh
       
    13. Damane lives in my, rather strange, room where there is no sunlight. She has a bed I made her so most of the time when I'm not playing with her she is in it covered up with her blankets. Otherwise she travels all over the house but I always keep her out of the sun.
       
    14. My dolly sits on my bedside table between two speakers XD He looks awesome there, and when it's night I put him back in his box :P The table he sits on and his box are both in parts of the room that never see light unless it's artificial XD
       
    15. I just started making these art boxes for my minifees. I never open the blinds so there's never any light in my room. I wanted a way to get them up off the desk because I was running out of space. I'd love to have a little rooms for them but that takes up a lot more space than I've got so instead, I went with display boxes. Each doll gets her own design and themed box, they are out of the way, but also easy to pick up and play with. So for the smaller dolls it worked out to be an excellent solution and looks very pretty! I don't know what I'd do if I had anything over 50cms though LOL.

    16. Yeah, this is exactly how I feel about it too. I've made the most of my little collection for sure! I hunted for any spare space I could find in my home, and when I found one I would build a display room there. Like, for instance, adding a shelf in front of a window between a bookcase and a TV armoire. I decorated it with a victorian window treatment as a backdrop, added overstuffed in-scale furnishings, upholstered the shelf in an oriental carpet remnant...well, you get the idea. Actually, it was so much fun, my hubby decided to help by building me a little table and designing lighting for it that actually works. It became a creative endeavor we could both enjoy together. From then on, anytime a doll would be incoming, we'd seek out a new room space for it. So the end result is that I have wonderfully creative room display spaces which add art to my home...and each one of my crew has their very own room.

    17. At night or on days when Im not home, T'betha is in her box on my desk. She comes out and perches on the couch, on my shoulder (which doesnt last long because she's SD sized and HEAVY) or on the livingroom desk in the evenings when Im home.
       
    18. Mine are in my glass cabinet, need to get some furniture for them, Chrom is sitting on the glass panel and Chami is kneeling on the same glass panel lol :'D
       
    19. Mine are kept two or three to a box sadly. I would love to display them more but my room is really small and we have a lot of problems with dust and spiders (I live out in the country by a lot of old coal mines so dust, insects and spiders are a terrible problem over here DX )
      The large SD boxes are stacked up on the floor covered by the cusions they came with for easy access and one MSD box sits on my desk with my baby blanket over it (that was my mums idea :XD: ).
      The loose heads and tinies share a box next to the MSD box except my Puki's who live in the dollhouse downstairs :)
       
    20. Sit on meh desk or my other desk lol. Im not exactly the "playing type". More of the enjoy the beauty sooo...
