Alisonvm Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Hello Everyone, I'm new here. I found a dollhouse at a yard sale for $2.00. I did reseach and discovered that it is The Arthur. It's a starter home that needs a little tender loving care. The shingles are flimsy. I purchased better shingles from the craft store and intend to replace them and re-glue some parts. A friend is coaching me along with this project. Wish me luck. Alisonvm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuttiwebgal Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Welcome so glad you found us and wow very cool find of the arthur for 2$ awesome. I just love my Arthur! Im looking forward to seeing your photos as you go. I have never had the pleasure of refurbishing a house but I would start by removing the inside and outside trim than give it a good prime...I use Kilz spray prime if you are wanting to stain your floors...do cover them with something before priming. Happy Building! nutti ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydroped Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hi Alison, The Arthur is a great house and what a fantastic buy! I have one of those also that I picked up second hand only I'm ashamed to say I haven't gotten to refurbish it yet - too many other UFO's (Un-Finished Objects) in line ahead of them heheh ;) But what a fun house it's going to be! Can't wait to see what you do with it David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
