Soapz Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 So, I have almost the money together to get a Maple Street Tudor, now I have to make a choice and - while I would like to have both - all I can/will do is get one house. I am looking at making a pub that I would like to fill with "Bags of Character Dolls" The future "Pub" population... I like the atmosphere of this one: Load of Mischief Pub And those are the choices available: So - which one would you get........? Or: which one do you have (Mike - your input is welcome.... hint... hint...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimajo Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Personally, I like the 2nd picture. The first one.....I keep picturing customers falling down those stairs!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Defnitley the first one for me. Swoon worthy! hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Miniature Madness Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 #1 - It's such a unique design and it gives a lot more opportunity for outside display to draw you right in... Either way, I'm so happy for you! Saving to make a dream come true takes such patience, and when it finally happens you're walking on cloud #9 and sooooo happy!

havanaholly Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I like both pub designs. Your potential pub patrons will make the ambience inside. Which one is calling to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapz Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Holly, those two and about three others.......... there are a lot of houses calling my name.....*sigh* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 None of those Bags of Characters folks look to be terribly spry. I think it would be cruel to force them in that long climb to heaven is #1. Definitely the second one is more their speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 If I were going to pub #1 I'd take the elevator (the restaurants along the causeway to Mobile are mostly up on stilts and provide elevators to the dining rooms for their elderly patrons).

You're assuming there would be an elevator. Maybe not in these vintage buildings. I'm sure Chris is up to the challenge if she needs to make one from scratch.

CraftyMtnMom Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I agree with Jo. Those stairs look scary. I like the second one, it looks a lot more solid. I'm not trying to offend anyone as both houses are pretty cool, but when I look at a house that is built larger on top, I slip back to childhood when one stacked blocks and if one made the stack bigger on top, it inevitably fell down. It only took a car passing or a breeze or someone stepping on the floor and it all came crashing down and sometimes it was just gravity. I would be afraid to enter a house built like that. Yet, on the other hand, they do look amazing and fascinate one because of their architecture. I would still go with #2, but it really is what house is calling to you the most. Have you tried printing a picture of each and looking at them for awhile? Maybe that would help you to hear which one is calling loudest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I really like the first house. It's very unique looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapz Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 To be honest, right now it's more a decision of which one I buy first. Both will be my "presents" to myself for getting that Master's degree. First one now, because I made it halfway through, passed the qualifying exam, keep up my GPA, and most likely got an internship that comes with a stipend (rather rare....). The second one I will get when I get my diploma and pass the licensure in May next year. So, not really that much of a sacrifice when I choose one over the other - it's more a matter of: which one will keep me sane for the next 12 months.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriJohn Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 My favorite is the second but knowing you are getting both, I would pick the one I think would be easier to work on right now. Not sure which that would be, but that's the one, lol. They are gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuttiwebgal Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I also would pick #1....it is a unique design for the USA....as for the patrons...well people been climbing up and down stairs for centuries.... but like others have said...which ONE says NOW to you!.... congrats on your achievements!!

blueirishmoon Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Too lovely for words! I can't choose; they're both awesome. Pick whichever is begging you to bring it home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Well, which choice is the Olde Coach Inn; 1 or 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mininecessities Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I would do #2. I am with Vicki, #1 makes me dizzy...it's gonna fall over. But is that a stable. At the bottom? That would be cool! you could put a horse n tac! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapz Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 No. 2 is the winner of 2016 - I'll tackle the other one next year...... If I can get the money together until then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
