A favourite trick for picture/paintings: the paintings can be magazine cut-outs that are glued to fine grit sandpaper, to give the illusion of a canvas backing. For frames which look like carved wood, use glue to build up a pattern (and it does not have to be a very precise pattern) or use thin strips of lace. Glue on the unpainted wood, then paint the entire frame with gold or silver paint. Ornate mirrors can be done this way also.
Instead of covering a cutout picture with a clear spray varnish or similar product, cover it with clear contact paper. It gives more support, doesn’t curl up as much, protects it , and is a lot less mess. No drying time either..

Send for art catalogs from the New York Metropolitan Museum and others and use for pictures for your dollhouse.
If you have a full-sized painting in your own home which you especially treasure and want one for your dollhouse, take a photo of it (straight on) and have it developed in matt finish (not glossy). Cut out and frame in mini size.
