angliris Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi All, :lol: My name is Nicole. I'm 26 and live in Central Florida as do a couple of other members I see. When I was 10 years old, for Christmas my grandparents gave me a dollhouse called the Annabelle/Pierce. Then about 6 years ago my dollhouse started falling apart, first little things and then some of the main structures started to loosen. Since then I have been trying to redo everything inside and out (while keeping it the same as much as possible) along with installing a lighting kit so that I can have lights. I didn't think it would be this hard or take this much time but so far I'm enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynnieEP Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi Nicole and welcome to the forum! I see you live in Central Florida. My mother lives there also...Rockledge to be specific. My last visit there I did some serious mini damage at "The Toy Box." At the time I went the store was still in Peddler's Village but I think it's in Cocoa now if I'm not mistaken. My next visit I want to go to Ron's in Orlando. I hear that place is absolutely awesome! One thing minis and dollhouses teaches us is patience, especially when you run into a problem. I've learned to walk away from the problem sometimes for a week and then go back to it. I did this many times when I worked on the Pierce. Or if I'm working on a step that can be tedious like shingling, I step away from it and work on another area. Can't wait to see some photos of your refurbished Pierce!

Shy Spirit Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hello Nicole - welcome! I wonder if your dollhouse was originally put together with hot glue - that is a no-no with most of us here. With age, heat, humidity, (or lack thereof) - many reasons are offered by as many different people - hot glue just doesn't stand up to the tests! I know a few members are okay with hot glue, but most of us advise against it. Please tell us your repairs didn't include it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer407 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Welcome Nicole, The job you are undertaking is awsome. Just getting in the rooms to paint and wallpaper can be quite a challenge. We here in Central Florida are lucky to have Ron's in Orlando. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 ...We here in Central Florida are lucky to have Ron's in Orlando...Oh, Richard! As we who live at least 8+ hours' drive away know, you are SO right! Ron & Richard have EVERYTHING a rehabber needs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
