It is for a very active girl, so the idea of using basic style for now will probably do. When she gets older it can be updated.... https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/tag/d/doll-house/6592614951.html 2 Awww, I wanted to see which one you went for Carmen but it has been deleted.

I chose the one close to me, that has this design, but mine will have a different finish. Since my friend's grand-daughter loves the Little Mermaid, i will make it like an Ariel's house, with a like color pallet.

minilover62 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 This is the first time that I see a house like this.

havanaholly Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I guess it gets around the problems of very little children playing with it and destroying the windows and doors (although the dolls and furnishings are still at risk...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know what it looks like .Still struggling with the upstairs just don't really like the separation between the two rooms . Any one change the top floor on the Magnolia?

In studying it, the thought occurred to me that if one were to replace the wooden front and back walls of a house with Plexiglas with appropriate openings for installation of doors and windows, one could get the same effect and have a dust-free house at the same time. And not have to deal with the sometimes tedious siding or bricking on the two biggest walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see anyone mention this yet, but that is the sister house to the Houseworks front-opening Victorian. Besides the Georgian, they made this one called the Colonial. It's actually a Garrison house because of how the second floor overlaps the first on the front. You know, I think this style fits the house better than having a bay window on the front.

The outside is beautiful and idyllic and the inside is indescribable..... You really never know what goes on behind closed doors. It is fascinating to think about what the artist's intent was.

havanaholly Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 It put me in mind of an artist's exhibit I once saw that used Barbie dolls in all sorts of hideously bloody scenes; like Jeannine, I wish I hadn't looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 One of Lloyd's former students was John Scott, who became an internationally known New Orleans artist and educator, now deceased. In one of his periods he did a series of baby doll heads pretty much skewered with horseshoe nails. I saw them at one of his exhibits as the New Orleans Museum of Art. They were very disturbing. Dark, very dark. I wanted to ask him about his motivation/inspiration for the series but after the exhibit we only saw him in his hospital room in Houston, where he was recovering from his 2nd double lung transplant. I didn't think it an appropriate subject for a bedside discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks that this particular style was favored around here, because what a coincidence that I found two of the same at the same time, and no more anywhere else. I agree with you about the Colonial style with no Bay windows fitting better the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsbeth Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 HO scale (1:86) Pepperwood Farm for $19.99. I got mine at that price - I often see them for a lot more.
