Ashlen Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Does anyone know of some good websites to buy wallpaper and flooring? Also minis would be great too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Greenleaf prefers if we don't either promote other companies or complain about other companies on the forum. It can make them look bad in the business community. Some folks can PM you with ideas of locations and preferences of where and why they shop. Be sure you set up your Personal Messenger settings to notify you of incoming messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklepuppies Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Greenleaf sells flooring. The vinyl strips look really nice, but I've not tried them yet. But I love the wooden tiles. Those can be stained different colors for some great patterns, and very easy to use. I used them in the parlor of my Beacon Hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I used the GL vinyl flooring strips in the lower lefthand room of the Laurel rehab, and the vinyl tiles in the lower right: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/index.php?app=gallery&image=13025 In the Magnolia I used GL wood siding strips split lengthwise and cut into board lengths for the bedroom floors: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/index.php?app=gallery&image=13025 In the McKiinley I scribed the "boards" directly into the plywood of the kit (except the second floor hall, where I laid some more siding strips); the bathroom floor is scrapbook paper and the kitchen floor is a piece of uber cheap self adhesive floor tile I got in a boxful from a dollar store: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/index.php?app=gallery&image=13025 I buy fabrics for using in the dollhouse from thrift stores (you can find real silk and cotton and linen clothing dirt cheap), also small print wallpaper and end-cuts of anaglypta wallpaper. I also use paper lace doilies for ceiling embellishments and laces, shaped buttons with the shanks cut off and fancy ribbons and braids in a collage of effects (those are buttons on the pub's bathroom wall below the window; the floor is spackle into which I "carved" tiles with a toothpick and drybrushed): http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/index.php?app=gallery&image=39298 In La Casita the "terra cotta" tiles are packing paper I saved, wadded, flattened out and drybrushed sienna and ochre; the bathroom tilework is sample paint chips I liberated from a hardware store's paint section and the bedroom floor is iron-on wood veneer strips split lengthwise: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/index.php?app=gallery&image=26967 You do not have to spend huge amounts of money for ready-made "miniature" or "dollhouse" stuff. If you can find them used, look for the following books: anything by Patricia King anything by Helen Ruthberg Easy to Make Dolls' House Accessories and Dolls' House Accessories, Fixtures & Fittings; both by Andrea Barham Any one of these will steer you into a wonderful world of mini DIY you never dreamed you could do.
