Songbird Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I have been visiting this forum for quite a while and decided to jump in and join the fun! My start as a dollhouse enthusiast began a few years ago when my daughter was in college and I felt so lonely that I decided to clean the basement. I stumbled across a dollhouse kit that my parents sent my daughter on her sixth birthday. I stopped cleaning the basement and starting building and haven't been lonely since! I finished that first house as a "Victorian Cottage" and I am almost finished with my second house, the Harrison. I still have some stucco to finish and the shingles to put on and then it is ready for its debut. Now I am back working on the basement so I can turn it into a workshop for all my miniature projects, kind of a circle of life thing isn't it!

Songbird Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 might you tell us about your plans for the Harrison? that house is on my Wish List, it's a stunner!I've always wanted to live in a Tudor house and that is why I picked the Harrison for my first big dollhouse. We call it the "George Harrison House" because my husband is a huge Bealtes fan (talk about obsession!) Well a house named after a Beatles has to have some Beatle stuff so I set the time period for the decor in the mid 60's. The house itself was "built" around 1929 so there is still is some nice woodwork left and the kitchen needs some updating , but there is a nice "modern" family room. The teenage daughter has taking down her ballerina pictures and putting up posters of the John, Paul, George, and Ringo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newt Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 fantastic!!! i love your fam room theme!! despite what some forum members may think abt Duran Duran, the Beatles were, are, and always will be THE Fab Four. so, will the address be on Penny Lane or Abbey Road? looking forward to it! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
