Kalani Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 My first dollhouse kit is arriving tomorrow. I will be building the Orchid first! I think Its going to be a cafe or a coffee shop. If it arrives early enough I'll start it tomorrow and I'll post pictures as I build it (and I'll probably need help too lol!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterfieldzoo Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Ah my favorite house to build. Have fun with it. Take your time and sand everything well. If you leave out the downstairs wall, you will have to reinforce the upper floor some other way. Maybe a decorative pillar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justmesue Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 CONGRATS!! When I was trying to decide what house to buy my grown-up daughter as a first build, the members here were almost unanimous that it was the best starter house. Have fun, good luck!
