Sharon C Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I'm about to purchase a reno dollhouse, but don't have much information about it's history. I like the bones in this house. It just speaks to me...? The lady I got this from, got it from someone else who was also overwhelmed with the possibilities. So, I'm person #3 with the same interest, but with a little more willingness to take the plunge. I must admit, I've never had a house that needed as much work as this appears, but she's beautiful to me. It's electrified throughout. In spite of all that needs to be done, all the lights are in working order. I may do some upgrading where needed. I'm not the smartest when it comes to adding photos here. It wouldn't take my other ones, but I'll add them in another blog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon C Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 ....Okay, I just added the other 2 photos of this reno house I'm about to purchase. Whew! Hope someone has an answer for me as to what the name of this dollhouse is and what company produced it. Guess it's history will add to the intrigue. I love this house and will do my best to make her even MORE beautiful than she is. Her measurements are 40W x 33D (front to back/on it's back) and 31" tall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I feel like I've seen this before but can't remember any details. I want to say it was built from plans. I hope someone else knows! It has lots of potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought it looked like a scratch build, but that could be because of the start made on a reno. It certainly has lovely bones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon C Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 I was haunted by this house @fov and @havanaholly. The day I went to pick it up, I borrowed hubby's Kia Sportage, because I knew the Mini Countryman was too small and the house STILL didn't fit his vehicle! The seller gave my money back. I was heartbroken A couple days later, I noticed she lowered the price Desperation set in. I was trying to avoid renting a trailer, so I offered her the original price and asked that she deliver it. She told me she'd sell it at the new (lower) price AND DELIVER IT! It was meant to be! The seller is a snowbird and wanted to get rid of it before she headed north again for the summer. She told me she got it from someone in Maine and brought it down with the intention of working on it through the winter, here in SW Fla. That was a 2 years ago. The fact is, I'm currently in the beginning stages of building a Worthington. Most of the walls are up as well as electricity. I have two OTHER houses waiting in the wings to be renovated. One of them is a Thornhill. The other, I'm not so sure ( once again) of the origin, but it's waaaaay smaller and more manageable. Thinking of turning it into a NYC brownstone or townhouse w/fire escape. Anyway, can't wait for my new reno to arrive this weekend. Mind you, I have NOWHERE in my house to store it, since the other ones have taken over every corner in my house. Guess it'll have to share the garage with my motorcycles. I'll figure out a permanent spot down the road 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
