is anyone here into dollhouses?
I've always been in love with miniatures.
I have my dollhouse from childhood, it was fully decorated & furnished but needs some repairs and I got a brand new dollhouse kit on freecycle today.
I'm planning on making them my winter craft project. Has anyone finished a dollhouse? Do you have pics?

Re: is anyone here into dollhouses?
I would be interested in this too if anyone has done it. I want to make one for DD when she gets a little older.

Re: is anyone here into dollhouses?
I bought one that was semi-done and I put it together and painted it for DD. I LOVE it more than she does! I really set it up for her and I hope it's something that when she gets a little older, her and I can work on more together (she's only 22 months now) I put wallpaper on and carpeting. It's beautiful!
Here is the site to where I got it

I haven't from start to finish but I did finish mine off when I was in high school. I would love to make one start to finish though.

I had one similar to this as a kid I wish I still had it. I will definitely be building one with my daughter when she is older. I just won't destroy it like my mother did when she was mad at me.

Re: is anyone here into dollhouses?
I have this one from childhood
but its needs a toal overhaul, its been in my basement for for years & its a mess. I'm planning on making it a home for a "modern family"
I was lucky enough to get this kit from freecycle
I'm going to try to keep this in the Second Empire style, I'm already buying tons of stuff on ebay 
and like the crazy loon I am I just bought these three stores at ACMoore on clearance
I'm making a bridal salon, a craft/dollhouse store and a pet shop!
DH is already shaking his head at my new obsession

Re: is anyone here into dollhouses?
My dad built me one when I was a kid. It was awesome! It had carpeting, wallpaper and even working lights! I really hope to have a little girl someday so she can enjoy it like I did

Re: is anyone here into dollhouses?
I have a HUGE one. It's sitting in my basement now and in need of major renovations  
My DH and I had these grand plans to put tile on the roof, replace the carpet etc..
I think if we have a daughter I will def. want to make it nice again for her. I will try to get a pic of it. I have very many happy memories from it!

Re: is anyone here into dollhouses?
here's the pics of my "bridal shop" progress
I ordered a bunch of stuff that didn't come yet so I just put stuff I had in with the bride mannequin for the pics
I found this woman that makes & donates dollhouses for sick children through a hospital near where she lives. I'm trying to find a hospital here that will accept donations so I can make small houses for little girls that want them. I'll update when I find out more.

yes, I make them & donate them to local charities for fundraising.
I think its great that you are restoring your dollhouse for your daughter!
Do you know if it was built from a kit?

Re: is anyone here into dollhouses?
I don't have that many pics on this computer but here is the bridal shop when it was finished
bride in one window, mannequin in the other
This pics are from my blackberry, but I did this house for a local food pantry fundraiser before Christmas-it raised almost $1000

What a fantastic thing to do! 
The dollhouse Im restoring was a handmade house that my parents had a neighbor build. I should post some progress pics once I start!
