jmgiles Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. I'm Jan and my family got me the Beacon Hill for my birthday in March and we just opened the box--I am already overwhelmed, but excited, especially after reading the posts here! My husband and I live in Colorado and we have 5 kids--a 22-year-old son who is married and in the Coast Guard, 19-year-old boy/girl twins who are in college, an 8-year-old daughter, and a 6-year-old son. My kids went together to buy the dollhouse--I have always been fascinated by them since I saw Colleen Moore's Fairy Castle at the Science and Industry Museum in Chicago as a child. I started one a long time ago, when I was in high school, but didn't finish it and my parents threw it out, so I am determined to get this one done! I am glad to have found this group--I love the pictures! Thanks for any advice in the days ahead. My husband will appreciate technical advice as he is new to dollhouse construction though he has made RC planes. Should keep us both busy for awhile!

CJEP Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hi and !! The Beacon Hill is a beautiful house. There are many people on here who have built it or have built it. I haven't, but maybe some day. Enjoy it!! Feel free to ask questions here if you get stuck (or overwhelmed). People are always happy to help. Also check out the pinned topics in the General Mini section. There are ones about getting started, etc. Good luck!! Enjoy!! :xmas_tree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItzKathyP Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hi Jan, I'm new here too, and just got my Pierce for Christmas. It's just so amazing that I've loved dollhouses ever since I saw Colleen Moore's dollhouse at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago!!!! How cool is this??!! Wasn't it amazing? I even dragged my husband there when I was 35 years old and hadn't lived in Chicago for years so he could see Colleen Moore's dollhouse with me. The submarine and the coal mine exhibits were favorites too, and who could forget walking through the human heart? Look foward to seeing your progress with Beacon Hill. It was a tough decision between the Pierce and the BH. Wish I had room for both! Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmgiles Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 Kathleen, I think the Fairy Castle inspired a few folks here, as I have seen it mentioned a bit! My daughter and I went to England two years ago and saw Queen Mary's dollhouse--beautiful! It isn't a castle like Colleen Moore's house, but it is wonderful. I think that is what got my daughter, Emily, interested. She keeps voicing opinions on how my BH should be decorated--I think she plans to inherit it some day!
