caitriona Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Hi, everyone! I'm new here, and new to dollshouse building generally - though I did have a Caroline's Home one when I was little, which I loved to bits - literally : ) I've just been informed that I'm getting a Beacon Hill kit for Christmas so I'm going to be hanging around here a lot; I want to get as much information as I can before the kit arrives, as it's my first. I'm really looking forward to it, and plan to start overworking my camera terribly as soon as the box enters our house :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minis On The Edge Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 WELCOME to the neighborhood!! Another Beacon hill in the works sounds WONDERFUL!! My parents got me hooked on minis too when I was a kid too. Tell us, what colors are you drawn too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitriona Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Nutti, I posted twice, I think, on the old forums, but I gave up fairly quickly as financial constraints and also the huge amount of stuff I had to do to my real house prevented me having a mini one. A health scare has since convinced me that sometimes you should indulge yourself now, rather than giving in to practicalities and assuming you'll have time for the fun stuff later! As for colours, at the moment the favourite would be a light sky blue (I haven't a particular shade in mind yet) with white trim. I haven't had much chance to consider yet though so that could change. I'm pretty certain that I'm going to want to change the stairs though, and maybe add a railing to make the top of the porch into a balcony. I've been trawling through webshots for most of the day and saw a few things that jumped out at me. Keep posting photos, everyone! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutterbugkc Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Hi Caitriona! Welcome to community. What a great Christmas present! The Beacon Hill is a beautiful house. I think there are several people on the board right now who are building, have built, or are remodeling Beacon Hills. There is so much room for possiblities in that house. I think a light blue with white trim would be lovely. :lol: Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
