Was wondering for everyone out there. I have seen the doll storage cases out there for sale in excess of $500 dollars and that's just where the prices start and seem to skyrocket from there.
I have seen a few different cases, all styled like a flight case of some kind, and even came across something like a bench. Which was basically the flight case style with faux leather or some type of material and padding on the outside top for sitting I guess. Which was also very pricey as well.
Just wondering what people were doing to store / keep their dolls from prying eyes of guests or whoever is in your house?
Wow! That is very ingenious! Nice work!
Thanks but that's why the locking hasp on each top piece. Also I have the only keys so I know where my keys are ( always with me) so then I know no one can be snooping on our Crystale. 😊
I can understand the sentiment, and if you don't have to worry about snooping eyes. Then Totally go with it!
Sadly the Misses and I still have snooping eyes at the house at least another year or two. So I had to come up with something. That said I ended up making a bench to sit on. It's inside of a closet, added locking hasps where the lock is built into the hasp. That way it is less obvious, Have had people over and sitting on it, and they had no idea. Which is the way it ought to be as you said. Your business is yours, unless you feel like sharing with someone but that is on your terms.
Anyways, Here is the bench and I'll explain each pic just a bit though.
Usually have just a couple pairs of shoes sitting on here and some blankets and throw pillows.
None the wiser to those that don't know.
Made the top 2 pieces, just to make it more practical and easier.
Made kind of a false floor the whole length. Just to give myself storage for other stuff as well. Also for things for our Crystale. so the right side you can see down to the floor. Added an extra 2x4 onto the wall/frame so it was doubled up allowing up to 8 inches of depth to store things and even containers.
The left side is a board, then I added foam padding to it, to make sure that Crystale has a comfortable resting spot(also to protect her, she just doesn't know that part).
This photo is just the board with foam for the right side of the bench, the foam is layered and about 6 inches thick. The whole in the foam and board was just to make it easy to lift the board out to get underneath.
This photo was just to show that the center 2x4 is removable to put her in and get her out very easily.
I just lay the white sheet down, place her in, and then tuck her in with her blanket.
Any comments or suggestion on how to make it better or improve, feel free to comment.
Thanks
I plan to leave them in bed. King sized bed there's enough room to share. I tell people not to go in there unless you wanna meet my girlfriend. I'm not gonna hide anything. Some places ppl aught to not go. If you go in my room and find dolls and it scars you for life, good. What a man does in his bedroom is his business. Nobody's getting hurt and this is my pursuit of happiness. Dont mess with it.
