HR S Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Hello from Georgia! I am taking this opportunity, while introducing myself, to ask for your help! My childhood dollhouse has been sitting abandoned in my dad's attic for probably 10 years; he is in the process of moving so I loaded up my dollhouse to renovate it. I have spent the last few days deep diving into this community, and I will admit I am shocked by how big this community is and that I never knew it existed. That being said, I am thrilled to be here and so excited to begin this project! As for the dollhouse— My dad picked it up at a yard sale for me many years ago (early 2000s). It was in great condition at the time, but sadly after sitting in an attic for a decade it has seen better days. However, I would really like to identify it, if possible. Based on the decor and furnishings, I am inclined to believe it is from the 1980s. I have included photos I took mid-demo (carpet and furniture removed). I have done a good bit of searching, and I have seen a few that are close but not exact. I am hoping if we all put our heads together, we can identify it! Your help is greatly appreciated! -HR https://imgur.com/a/B8uSQJT https://imgur.com/pFxOoos https://imgur.com/r6KKx0y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fov Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Just saw this on eBay. It's the same house (but they're asking way too much money!) https://www.ebay.com/itm/185784781578?hash=item2b41a2cb0a:g:YI8AAOSwps5ht26- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
