ilovecats Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I saw this franklin dollhouse by whitney a couple of weeks back, it was a buy it now. I decided to NOT get it even tho i liked the look of it. Then i saw it again a few days ago, still decided that i really liked it but NOT get it.....then i saw some pic's of a completed one....so...I got it! :angry: yes.......another house. where am i going to put this one? don't know. The sellers pic's are bad but the upstairs rooms just look so cool when the kit arrives i'll try to take better pic's to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymew Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I've not seen this house before. It looks like a good sized one though. Looking forward to seeing more photos when you receive it. -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has alot of charm and is unique looking inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 It looks like a really nice build, I'd probably be tempted to make it into a boarding house... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 It is a Really nice house and it shows up in my Greenleaf catalog from about 10 years ago. Yeap, this was built once upon a time by Greenleaf :angry: It's a GREAT size too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandilpn Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I am thinking of making the one that I purchased into a B& B. Full Brick exterior. Not sure what color yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 That sounds so neat! Spending nearly four months in VA I saw a LOT of all-brick houses (including a "Beacon Hill"!) and the ones I thought looked best had trim in pale colors, with white, pale blue & pale gray looking great (and one yellow-beige brick house with a striking grayish-green trim!)

havanaholly Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Here are a couple from our first retirement trip, when I was thinking about doing brick. These first are from Yorktown: And these were from Racine, WI: (two bars across the street from each other. I was doing research for my pub! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 This is so funny Holly! I was all over Racine the other week looking for a Title company and when I saw your pictures just now I said to myself, that looks just like those buildings in Raacine :groucho: I read your post and see that it is :yes: Aren't there so many good buildings (Though the areas there are not the best neighborhoods). I saw this one building that looked Wonderful (Will bash a buttercup to resemble it). The area was very rough there and I did not want to be caught with a Camera taking pictures (Nor did I want to stop and ask for permission) but Wow, there is so much potential there.

havanaholly Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 It was an older neighborhood. The gray brick building is a Pabst "castle" and the gentleman who had just bought & was restoring it invited us in and let me take pictures of his beautiful bar (for pub research, of course!lol): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
