LiliPutian Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) I hope it's okay to post the link rather than pics... This exact dollhouse (front opening) is on my local CL...I was wondering what you all thought of it? I'm new to this but have been entranced by miniatures forever, it seems. I'm currently messing around with my daughters old, cheap, dollhouse just for a fun project, so do I *need* this? Nope. But it has more rooms and it looks like it has lights, (but they may just be decorative--I haven't asked yet). I checked online and couldn't find this one, or any variation in kit form... Anyway, I just wanted opinions...The CL posting only has a couple bad pics hence this link: https://www.meadowlandsmuseum.com/past-events The house is about half way down. THANK YOU so much whoever wants to comment--any and all appreciated ETA furnishing are NOT included...

Mid-life madness Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 It is a lovely house.....for me, the price would be the final determining factor. What are they asking for it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are they asking for it? Hi Carrie...thanks for asking. They only want 60 for it, no furnishings and the stairs seem to be missing.

Mid-life madness Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 That is hard to pass up. If you want it, get it! Can you share the CL link? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Just me, but is there some reason you don't want to go for one of Greenleaf's gorgeous houses and build it yourself? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us are builders, some of us are decorators, some of us are collectors, and some of us carry bits of all of those genes on our miniature DNA helix. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Holly, they are gorgeous. So many dollhouses are...but I don't see many for 60 dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) $60 seems about right. It looks like MDF to me. It will be heavy..There is no internal door downstairs (that always bugs me), But there is one upstairs, so that's good. I like that it has stairs going to the attic - that is not common. You'll need to fix up all the stairs. But $60 seems good - and you can add a cute conservatory or green house off to the side. I think the floors are printed and not real wood. Yes - go get it. You can start furnishing it right away and having fun! Edited May 21, 2020 by Elsbeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qubanqtee Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 for that price Id pick that up, Id just make sure it's wood, but thats my personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
