ebonylocs Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have always wanted a wooden dollhouse ever since i was about 5 years old. my mom couldn't afford to give me what i really wanted. i ended up getting one of those tin dollhouses with plastic furniture. i enjoyed playing with it, but it wasn't the same. about 3 years ago i decided to go for it and buildthe orchid. i chose the orchid for many reasons, a couple being the price and the size. i didn't want to get overwhelmed with a large dh, just wanted to get my feet wet. i also like the charming look of the orchid. it just seemed like a perfect starter. i eventually plan to do another one in the future. right now my orchid is unfurnished and displayed on a high wall shelf in my dining room. it really was a fun build.

ebonylocs Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 i took all the furniture out because the way i have it displayed, you can only see the front of the house, it's not on a turn-table and besides it's too high up for anyone to peek through the windows. i decided to use the furniture for another house.

Gina2008 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hi Kimberly Your Orchid is Sooo Beautiful. It is so real looking. I Love it! The Orchid was the first dh I built and went all over with. I built another dh many years ago that my mom bought for my nieces, but I just glued it. I do agree that the Orchid is an affordable kit and a good kit to start with. By the way, this hobby is so addicting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alamom Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 You're Orchid Is very Pretty! It's a great first house. It's so cute From the front, I think displaying the way you have it great, there's plenty to see just from the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
