LPCullen Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 The pictures are bad, but it's a neat dollhouse, and big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judithfa Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 My sister and I each bought this dollhouse at OddJob Stores (now out of business) last Christmas for $199. It is MDF and is well made -- it goes together very easily and without glue or nails and in a couple of hours. It is modular so it can be moved easily. The furniture is well-made. AND I put it it together WITHOUT bashing :lol: ... of course, I do have some ideas ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllThingsMini Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 It's very similar in style to the houses sold by DHE. I've been dreaming of owning DHE's Grosvenor Hall since they released it. Maybe one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judithfa Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Marie -- Yes, I thought the same thing. From what I read in the DHE catalog, the construction and building procedures are the same. That helped make it so appealing. Also, the color is not TAN, but a warm creamy cream -- very Georgian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllThingsMini Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I'm currently saving my $$$ for the Grosvenor Hall basement section. I figure I'll be able to order it for my birthday and use my birthday discount. I don't know if I'll actually be able to put it together right away because I am short on space, but at least I'll have it. I'm going to try and talk DH into getting the actual "house" portion for me or just save up the $$ for it too. I'm not as much into kits as I used to be (unless its a gift) since I've now had a taste of scratch building, but this is definitely a kit that I "MUST" have!

judithfa Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Oh, I hope you can get it! It is a grand-looking house. I know what you mean about the allure of scratch building, especially as we both like to do "some changing around"! And also, depending on how much bashing you want to do, it is sometimes easier just to built from scratch. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutterbugkc Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Wow! That dollhouse is HUGE! I could probably spend all day playing in that house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllThingsMini Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Wow! That dollhouse is HUGE! I could probably spend all day playing in that house. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You think that one is big, here's the Grosvenor Hall we've been talking about. It's a monster! I can hardly wait until I have it! You can't tell in the pictures, but the basement is 2 rooms deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutterbugkc Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Mother of Pearl! Take out the floors and my daughter could live in there! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllThingsMini Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Isn't it just grand?! I want this one so bad I can taste it (MDF doesn't taste good, either! ). There's nothing about it I would want to change. However, I would add four life-sized cabriole legs to the bottom of it so it could be free standing; like a piece of furniture. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutterbugkc Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 That would really be one very nice piece of furniture! Something like that could definitely stand alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 MY WORD!!!! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING!!! Is that an adult woman standing next to it, or just a child who's way to grown for her age! Please tell me that woman is like 3 ft tall! HA!! WOWWWY!!! The ebay dollhouse is nice, especially since all of the inside is already finished before you even put it together! n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Also, the color is not TAN, but a warm creamy cream -- very Georgian. Does it come pre-painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judithfa Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Does it come pre-painted? Yes. Everything is done. I have been making some changes, though (I can't help it ) I painted parts of the stairs Delta's Spice Brown to look like wood. It is very effective. I also removed the doors in the Living room and made the "nursery" a sitting room, and removed the door there also for a "flow-through" effect. I already have a family and some of their friends in the house. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllThingsMini Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Wow, that's a pretty cool house! I can't wait until the day I get the Grosvenor Hall. <heavy sigh> :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judithfa Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 If you would like, I could send little emails to your hubby -- gently hinting about how much you would really love that house as a birthday present :lol: B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttiwebgal Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 very nice house! I love the front opening houses. for the dust factor more than the looks of it. a little plain to me....I do like all that victorian bricabrac! but I think a front opening house would be great to have and this one is huge!!! thanks for the photos! nutti :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCullen Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Very cool house Judith! That dark blue (bedroom) wallpaper looks similar to the wallpaper in the diningroom of Jimmy's Worthington! I agree, I like your bedroom furniture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anya Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I'm not too keen on that. It looks too much like a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
