Eyeknit Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I’m a crafty sort but I’ve never done a dollhouse. I’m eagerly awaiting delivery of my first- the Westville. Looking forward to learning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Welcome to the little family, Stephanie. I LOVED my Westville; unfortunately a coworker saw the box in the trunk of my car and asked me to build it for her; since she was paying me $$$ I did, but if I ever get my paws on another I'll build it for ME!!!

Mid-life madness Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Welcome Stephanie I love that house. Here are some pictures of the house it is based off of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyeknit Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 It’s so pretty! I’m glad that the one thing I don’t like about the dollhouse isn’t the way it is on the real house- the trim on the front peak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Actually when many of the real houses the dollhouses are based on were first built that trim was part of the "gingerbread" trim so popular in those days. Since most of my builds are different eras I have no problems leaving it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
