More Minis Dollhouses Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Ever since I saw the picture of the real Westville, Ive been wondering if every single Greenleaf house has a real life identical model they were designed after? If they are, Id like to see the photos of all the real life models. That would be so cool. If not, how do they come up with the designs? Is it real architects designing them?

judithfa Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 The Beacon Hill and this real house (in PA) have a lot in common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abunai Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I know it's not based off of it but every time I pass this painted lady in Saline MI I think it looks a little bit like the Beacon Hill. That's the one nice thing about visiting my honey's parents. I get to pass by it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Someone at Greenleaf sent me pictures a few years ago of the beacon hill house...... I can not find it at all I can't remember which one of them sent it my way!! I am still searching... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I found the picture on my computer but can't find the email of who sent it. They told me where this house was and everything I'll have to start asking them there: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Wow! Great photos! Love all the reallife houses! Now let's turn em around and see if we can see all the rooms! LOL Just kidding, but what eye openers those are! Beautiful homes. The poor vineyard house looks kind of squished in between other houses though....... Thanks for sharing the pictures!

twilight1000 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 The Vineyard Cottage appears to have been inspired by the cottages in the Methodist Campground at Oak Bluffs in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.

I wish I could see the whole neighborhood. Yes it is and I believe it is in Marthas Vineyard in up in Mass. off Cape Cod. Been there years ago just can't find the pictures that I took :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
