Guest Happy Heart Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Major jealousy here! That's ok, as your avitar shows, you look good in green, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firef2005 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 What can I say, I have a keen Designer's eye and exquisite taste, lol This particular house has many appealing realistic details, what's giving me pause besides the exorbitantly over-priced shipping is that there really isn't a whole lotta room inside for the size of the house. I built, and have almost finished my Painted Lady. Mine was MDF, but it really was an enjoyable build. You are right, there aren't a lot of rooms to the house, but the rooms are large. I actually have one room still left that I can't decide what to do with. I have pictures in my gallery. I think it's a wonderful house, and I really enjoyed building it. Am going to hang onto it for my grand daughter for when she gets older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a beautiful job you've done, I'm sure she'll be delighted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlPiper Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Did you choose one yet? Saving to buy another kit; have been scratch building due to a stack of plywood scraps and a general lack of funds right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was this || close to buying the RGT Painted Lady then I deicded I'd rather build it in half scale, from scratch and yes, with a severe lack of funds, at all times.

jennymoomeow Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi Jean! I'm starting a RGT house for my daughter. I got Victoria's Farmhouse. It's huge and heavy, and probably a lot more house than a 4 year old needs...but it's not all about her now, is it? So far, the pieces are cut out nicely and fit together really well. I'd really like to bash it a bit and change some walls around. My main problem is no hardware stores sell the same kind of MDF stock. I've been hunting high and low for 3/8" so I can make some new interior walls. I think I will resort to online shopping for a sheet of it. Other than that, I like their houses design-wise. I think that is what really matters in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what they would charge, or you could email and ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberry Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 You should look at the RGT builder website/blog... they built this house and it would help you get an idea of room sizes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Is there any reason you couldn't use 3/8" plywood to bash extra walls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I do like the size of the rooms though. So many houses give you ump-teen rooms, but they are too small to do anything with. I will be starting my fourth Painted Lady next week. I will do a faux-wood floor before construction and will customize the staircase, and maybe some swirrly plaster in the Trim area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotctotc Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I own and really like this house. I can't say that it's my most favorite--but I do like it! It was my first dollhouse as an adult and for one thing-it's massive and heavy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
