Make It - Custom Fireplace For Dolly

Sometimes things aren't good enough for dolly. She's special!!! Here I give my dolly the custom fireplace she's been wanting. Took about an hour. Gee! That's 90 minutes in 3/4 scale land or two hours in the 1/2 scale world! Ha ha ha! Almost like a half hour remodel show on tv! How do they do that???

Grand Fireplace Remodel

                     

Make - It!

I started with this awesome little 3/4 scale Donna Lee fireplace, circa 1946....

                    

I bought some cheap wood planks, thin thin dowels and 1/2" mirrors at the craft store.... 

 Using a gold pen I outlined the mirrors.

                     

 I cut down a plank and the dowels for the size needed. They go on the back of the fireplace.

I stained them to match the wee fireplace.

                     

   I glued the dowels to the sides of the plank...

and used removeable 2-sided tape to attach the mirrors to the plank 

(just in case I want to change them).
                     

I taped one little mirror to the fireplace's mirror....

to give it a kind of deco look!
                     

With removeable 2-sided tape I taped the two together.

I like to leave these vintage pieces unharmed, especially when they're in such good shape!

Hence the double sided tape.

I hope the dolly is happy now! Geeze dolly! You sure can be demanding!
