chevrefoil Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hi! I'm Marla and 38 from S. Florida. I loved dollhouses when I was a girl -- decorating them, picking wallpaper/flooring - and my mom built me a lovely LARGE Victorian dollhouse. I now have a daughter of my own and plan on refurbishing my childhood dollhouse to give to her when she's older (she also looooves dollhouses). I also thought it would be a fun project to work on! One the major items I need to work on is fixing the porch -- the front porch of the dollhouse was just glued on and it fell off in storage. I have the original porch but it's in very poor condition now. So I'm working on what to do with the front of the dollhouse -- new porch or type of outdoor entry way (steps down, mini porch, etc). It also needs a full interior renovation with flooring, walls and lighting. I look forward to chatting with everyone! And once my dollhouse arrives from storage, I'll take some "before" photos!

Medieval Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Welcome to the forum Marla. I look forward to seeing your pics. Do you know what house you have? Was it from a kit or scratch built? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevrefoil Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 The dollhouse isn't one of the Greenleaf ones --- I've never seen a kit quite like it (although it's fairly basic despite being large -- front porch, 3 floors with 2 rooms + hallway on each floor, plus a large attic with 2 rooms. My mom is very handy and we had a lovely miniatures store in our neighborhood so I think she either got a kit from there of some other company I don't know about or they helped her build one from scratch. Or she bought a custom one pre-built and finished it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
