iconenchev Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hello Everyone, My name is Hristo Nenchev and I am from Bulgaria. Father of a 4 years old daughter, I turned to dollhouses just 6 months ago and I was fascinated. Ever since I've been reading sites and looking at ebay listings of furniture. I almost finished her first dollhouse (a design downloaded at this site http://suttongrace.blogspot.com/2011/01/mod-doll-house-plans.html and customized a little bit). I am waiting for the delivery of the last bits of furniture and I will upload photos here. Before I found this forum I was extremely keen to start making doll houses as in my country you really cannot find any on the market (the main reason I started building one). I am still extremely keen but looking at the things you are doing... WOW. I am not sure I could make those beauties... but good I want to try. I started a fund raising campaign at this site with the general idea to gather enough funds to be able to finish several models of doll houses and start selling them. I would be grateful if someone supports my idea. Even if not I will be happy to read the forum and find ideas and know how, as you've got plenty of that, I am sure. Wish you all the best and will chat to you soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Welcome to the little family, Hristo! Most of our houses are 1:12 scale or smaller. It is lovely to have someone who works in 1:6 join us. BUYING all the furniture can be expensive, which is why I try to make everything I put into my houses. I think being a shaker and mover to get the miniature hobby started in Eastern Europe is a wonderful plan! and I wish you good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minis On The Edge Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Welcome to the forum! This hobby can be very expensive even when making your own items from scraps of wood and stuff. I did delete the fund raising link because Greenleaf Company has not approved it. Looking forward to knowing you better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iconenchev Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Thank you all for the warm welcome. @ Girl Piper - pictures will follow shortly. At the moment we only have a "wallpapered box" without any furniture. @ havanaholly - you know the best thing is to enjoy your job. I hope I do manage to turn the hobby into profitable business. @ dalesq - hello to you as well @ minis on the edge - it is expensive indeed, especially buying the furniture. I definitely will try to make it by myself but still needed to see how it is done. Would it be a problem to put the fundraising link in my signature? @ Jo med - I am definitely looking at the gallery tonight... @ KeZZsi - thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdlnpeabody Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Welcome to the forum, Hristo! My daughter just turned 5 and is bugging me to build her a house. I never bothered with the kit houses and just went right to building houses from existing designs or my own ideas. I'm trying to get a business of dollhouse building profitable too, but no luck yet. Don't give up, there may be a market out there for us. 1/6 scale must make for a really large house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
