rodentraiser Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Is it my imagination or is the third floor warping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - part of me likes the crammed&crazy victorian look, but I found the interior lacking in the same spirit. And the outside just gets so crazy...it's almost like the Weasley's made that house.

I'd buy it for $50, though. I like it, but it is a lot of responsibility with all those crazy rooms and ill fitted dormers. And yet I like it.

Elsbeth Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Feels like a Winchester house! I love a good Winchester house. From a distance, I thought the roof looked ok - but close-up, I realize that one addition wing is not in front of the main roofline, but behind it...while the main roof is then abruptly cut off. But, points for trying to be creative and make that kit larger. It is just too small a kit as is...that is what leads people to these measures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 The outside of the SF is what sold me on buying one. For such a grand house, you would think it would have a formal dining room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For such a grand house, you would think it would have a formal dining room. I know! I bought a finished one (at a great price as usual on craigslist) because I was in love with the outside. But the narrow long room with the staircase...URGH! Frustrating for me! I know I am a broken record on this, but that exterior deserves so much more. It almost needs an additional kit that makes the rest of the house that you'd then hinge onto the back or something. I also think it needs a proper entryway. So I totally get why someone bashed it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure, but I saw the house posted on this Facebook forum, World of Dollhouses and Miniatures. They have some nice kits on their website and if @Qubanqtee is looking for some curved stairs, they have some on there that are pretty. They also have a Facebook page, and he posts pictures as he builds the houses that are on the website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 This has a very comfy vibe to me - I like how everything feels vintage with the golds and browns. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1960s-Large-doll-house-and-All-Furniture-and-Accessories/132210937767 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
