Elsbeth Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Just now, Samusa said: Yes it is... when it rains it pours.. lol If I needed another 1:12 house, I'd go get this one. I like the stairs and it has plenty of rooms. I even like how they did it...but, I don't have the room for it. Also, I'd offer $100 because a) I want a deal, and b) that furniture is nothing to write home about. But I love the house really - nice amount of space and vertically spacious too.

I am so new at this so I will be asking many questions and searching the internet for how to's. I just hope I can do it justice. Craigslist has its ups and downs but I can't imagine not having the resources to go to. I love repurposing things and finding 2nd hand items. It's a shame you don't have a bigger dollhouse community. Are you from Australia or Did you end up moving there? I'm Australian by birth.. I lived in the USA for about 10 years in my late twenties/early thirties... Met my DH there and then dragged him back to Australia Being a patriotic American, he would like to move back one day.. but we have family commitments here so it won't be for quite a few years yet.

I know, I really like it too, there is a kit on Ebay for 100 but it has the original windows not these newer ones and you'd have to build it.. lol. I really like it too but space is an issue when I have one 1:12 being built, 2 waiting in the wings and I'm actively searching for a Dura-craft VM 600... (large house!).. I need to stop!!!! I do really like the stair setup on this house though.... hmmm.... stop me, I'm a menace to myself!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenannediva Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I would like to win one of these in a raffle, depending on the price of the raffle tickets of course. But really, over 7-1/2 feet high, can't imagine. My tallest house is the QA at 4 feet and that is high enough. Sad the owners never furnished it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Victorian-Doll-House-Dollhouse-Carson-Mansion-Over-7-tall-Amazing-detail-/252772988933?hash=item3ada71b805:g:mxcAAOSwB-1Yo9dN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is huge! The accompanying article says the tickets were $5.. what a steal... unfortunately you need a house big enough to dedicate a room to this monster. I actually don't think the price is toooo unreasonable considering the size and uniqueness... that's not saying I have a spare few thousand around but hey.. if you do, you probably have room for it too.

Debora59 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I love the interior too, its so clean and crisp, the rooms look big and the windows get the attention they deserve, and the stair case pops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on the other side of the fence! - I wanted a loud colorful crammed Victorian interior with wooden paneling and velvet drapes and even dust...and loads of tiny things on shelves...I kind of expected more interior decor and furnishings for $3000!

Yes, and normally I would expect that with a huge Victorian like this, but REALLY love the openness and space. but that's typical for me.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Wow, considering the size of the house there don't seem to be many rooms. Maybe I'm just spoiled by half scale. :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Haven't seen this Arrow kit before. Gotta love that "pre-printed realistic green shingle" I've always wondered about these Arrow kits.. some of them have good lines.. I wonder if you could bash them to look more realistic? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Arrow-Handicraft-Victorian-Mansion-Dream-Dollhouse-Kit-703-1980-New-/182455775297?hash=item2a7b363041:g:zSEAAOSwtfhYo9V2 Fairly cheap but the box is open, so who knows if it is all there. The vendor offers a refund if it isn't though... so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Built little Orphan Annie.. auction ends in 3 days. Looks in pretty good condition but in the middle of a rehab. Includes furniture, accessories & building materials of varying qualities. If I lived in the US.. I'd snag this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1978-Little-Orphan-Annie-Dollhouse-w-Furniture-Figures/192103656270?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D41404%26meid%3D548e727252da43d59dfb03874b0cddc7%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D132095415638 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
