Selkie Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Just curious to see if anyone has built this house yet? I have the kit in my stash waiting ever so patiently. One question I wondered about is whether there is any access under the roof area for an attic? None of the views show it opening but it seems like a total waste of space if it doesn't. I'm sure it can be "fixed" to accomplish it but I just wondered if anyone had it and could post a picture of that top area without the roof on it. Thanks ahead of time just in case someone does. I've been mulling over the idea of attempting a bash/conversion of this kit to create the essence of the Golden Gate View that has so mysteriously charmed me. Since I have the specs on that one, could I add the details from that to this kit (maybe) Cheltenham Front Opening Dollhouse and possibly satisfy the yearning? Any opinions or thoughts?

Blondie Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'm sure you can figure it out, Selkie! Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Wouldn't it be fun to bash two of them together, making doorways from all the rooms' backs to access those on the other side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Holly, I had that same thought about back to back. Selkie, I don't know the answer, but it sure does look like there should be some usable space there. I've not really thought about it. I've got that kit too, but it's further down on the list, so I'm not sure what it wants yet. I did go try looking at the box to see if there were additional pictures on the box, but it was 2nd to bottom on the pile and above my head.

minime Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Whenever I have a question about size or want to see pictures of a Greenleaf or Corona Concepts House I go first to More Mini's Blog. She addresses the attic of the Cheltenham here http://moreminis.blogspot.com/2012/07/cheltenham-dollhouse-day-13.html#.Uv_0Gp0o7cs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She addresses the attic of the Cheltenham here http://moreminis.blogspot.com/2012/07/cheltenham-dollhouse-day-13.html#.Uv_0Gp0o7cs Thanks so much. Now, I don't know why I didn't think of looking there. I'm always sending everyone else to her website. Guess I had a "duh" moment. Thanks for the reboot !! It does look complicated to figure out creating an attic, esp after looking back at around day 2-3 as well. It shows a weird looking panel that runs around the top and the middle wall is significantly higher than the sides. It appears that it end up creating something of a cove ceiling when all is said and done. Not the type of thing I would think would go with that style but then, who am I to say? Gotta think on this one a bit more. I'm sure you can all see how bewitched I have become with the GGV. Sigh ... Just gotta get warm enough so I can get out to my woodshop to attempt a build on my own I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 That house does look like it would be difficult to bash. Hmmm. Very cool house though! I love Gina's table for it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigrandma10 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Does anyone think that Greenleaf will re-issue this house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 I just got mine 2 years ago brand new and straight from the GL website so maybe they are just out of them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 In the store it says it's out of stock, so I'm sure they'll reissue it if there's demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
