nuttiwebgal Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 a friend sent me this photo and asked if someone could please help her identify it thanks nutti :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 It looks like the duracraft farmhouse (not the 505 but the one before that one) I will have to look up the number item :lol: but it look very much so like it to me. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttiwebgal Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 a duracraft? Ive asked her to take a few more photos did duracraft make house without the lovely slide-in wall trim? it looks big...and I also thought a farmhouse nutti :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Nope sorry it's not a duracraft farmhouse 500 Just found a picture of it in my old catalog. It still looks to be a duracraft to me though because of the foundation. It looks like there masonry stuff and not the kind you get from dee's delights. I thought it was this house: More pictures would help. Need to see the other front side :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttiwebgal Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 itlll probably take a day or two for other photos nutti :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 The foundation says Dura-Craft to me, too, but I've only built the kits with the siding milled into the wood, and this appears to be added separately, perhaps a very early kit?

LPCullen Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I need more pix too please. Is the siding added, or is it "in the wood"? What's the thickness of the wood? Where's the rest of the house, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 What's up with all of these houses without a roof on them? This is how Sarahs house look (She rips the roof off so her Barbies can fit in them Crazy isn't it? She does this even though I have given her the mini kingdom barbie dolls. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroped Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Ohh Beautiful house! Definitely want to see the other side thought. Pictures! Pictures! <_< - I can see something else back there but it almost looks too small to be a room from this angle.. but prety big for a fireplace- maybe it's a nook? - David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCullen Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Could it be this one perhaps? http://cgi.ebay.com/Duracraft-Bellingham-F...1QQcmdZViewItem http://community.webshots.com/user/omatrish3 http://community.webshots.com/album/219753834ZwVHcb http://community.webshots.com/album/250930001xEgcEe http://community.webshots.com/album/123975170bMVYSz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Well see there, I thought duracraft farmhouse but kept thinking of an old one. That looks just like the correct house Linda! <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogster Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'd say that one is dead on the money, looks nice when complete actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCullen Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Yes, I like that one too Doogster! I might have to get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 What mixed me up was that I didn't see the longframe pieces at the corners for the walls to slide down into, I guess they sided over it all. Good find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Nuttis, did your friend have the complete house (parts too) or did she find it in this condition? Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttiwebgal Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 it is the Bellingham I got more photos today....she got it as is for 20$ she will be so Happy to know what it is. thanks all! I knew one of you would figure it out! nutti <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydroped Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Wow the Bellingham is an impressive house! She's going to have a really nice place when she's finished with it. Good find!! <_< David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molmrath Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Ooo I like that house. What a great find for your friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttiwebgal Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 this is another photo she sent me ...nothing of the inside and no parts came with it. quite the Challenge! nutti <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroped Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 this is another photo she sent me ...nothing of the inside and no parts came with it. quite the Challenge! nutti <_< Yea but just look at the potential!! Another thing I find sort of liberating about getting houses in that kind of condition is that no matter what you do - it can only get better :lol: And you can really be free about changing things around, adding another story if you want, changing the roofline, etc. When I get one with all the parts there I feel sort of tied to the design, and bound by the photo of what it's supposed to look like. It can make it more difficult to break away and really have a good bash at it Looks like a really fun project. Hope your friend will keep us posted on how it goes -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can make it more difficult to break away and really have a good bash at it Look at what we all did to the Coventry & "think outside the box", David. I started out in the box, too <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 No parts came with it! Sheesh do they think she is a miracal worker? Well she can try asking Charles at dollhouse properties. Also it seems like he had an auction where you could buy missing parts to any of the houses. His ebay username is estatesinminiature You might want to refer her over there.

Minis On The Edge Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 David, you GOTTA try thinking outside of the box!! Once you try it you'll be hooked. None of your houses will look like t he box again! I am at the point now that I see a kit and I start visualizing how I think I want mine to look. I don't even look at the picture on the box while I build. <_< I can't say that for the Lily though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
