marleyminis Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I am new to the forum and not quite sure if this is where I should post my question. If it is not the right place, please direct me to where I should be. Although I have only just started building my first dollhouse (from a kit), I am thinking ahead to my next project and the project after that. LOL. I really want to build an antebellum plantation dollhouse and I have come across a set of plans for one by Jack Cavender on a couple of sites. Problem is there is only a pic of the front of the house and the description says it has 8 rooms and central hallways. I really want to see a pic or more of the interior before ordering the plans. Also, at least one site implies that the plans are in book form but I have not been able to very this. Any information, links or pics that you can provide regarding these plans would be most appreciated. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennywren Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Welcome to the forum. I have these plans, ordered them off of ebay. They are actually large blueprints (about 5 pages) they fold out. Unfortunately there is not a picture of the inside, only on the blueprint but there is a floor plan on the back of the envelope. There is in fact a central hallway. Looking at the front of the house there is a large entry way which leads upstairs to another central hall. On each side of the hall there is a room and again on the other side of each chimney, both upstairs and down. So basically you have room, chimney, room, hall, room, chimney, and room. Each room has a fireplace, so there are eight. The floorplans on my envelope show the following: (looking at the front of the house, from left to right) Library and parlor are separated by a central fireplace. Then you have the foyer/hall, dining room and then kitchen on the end. Upstairs shows a guest room, sitting room, hall, bedroom, and then bathroom. The house is enourmous, 23"d x 59"w x about 22" h. There is a house listed on ebay that I think may be the plan. It's a finished house and there are several listed by the same seller. If you do a search under dollhouse miniatures for houses you'll find it. It's done in stone I believe. Anyway, I wish I could post a pic for you, if I find the ebay house I'll post the link. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you buy the plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennywren Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 This is similar but has a third floor and the center hall is off. In the plans the hall has one set of stairs that go straight to the second floor. This looks kind of messy. But the main rooms are about right.
