Jewliebeads Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 My son is going to buy my next dollhouse for me. Every year he buys me something really nice. He's a single dad and I've helped him raise his children from the time they were babies. My granddaughter who is 7 now is going to help me with this dollhouse. It will be a fun memory for her. I think it's great that she's excited (she's so much like me.) I can't decide! How do any of you decide what to build next? My current dollhouse has 4 rooms and the attic. I want something bigger but not humongous. I'm limited on space as it is. LOL. The height doesn't really matter. We both agree it should be "Fancy"!

Jewliebeads Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 They all kinda speak to me! LOL The Beacon Hill and the Garfield are speaking to both of us but they are pretty large. I think I'm leaning towards the Beacon Hill. There is no way I could find room for the Garfield unless I get rid of my sofa. It's large but mostly in height so I shouldn't have a big problem on space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Harrison is beautiful! Maybe I should get rid of my bed and sleep on the couch. That would give me room for several dollhouses.

Island-Shack Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 What do you think of the Willowcrest? I always loved that one, I don't have one (yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I had a Willowcrest for a while, but it never would tell me how to make it bigger and still look right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got all excited and told him that was a wonderful idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewliebeads Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 I just found a Beacon Hill dollhouse kit on Craigslist for 50 bucks still in the box. Im anxiously awaiting for a reply. What are the odds of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewliebeads Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Just got a reply and It's already sold. My son came home a little bit ago with the Painted Lady. My little granddaughter is thrilled. She's already looking at paint samples for the exterior. Pink and purple are two of the colors she's picked out so far. LOL.
