Oh I love the two together to make it larger. That’s a great idea! It turned out beautifully

Lol! It shouldn’t be so nerve wracking but I’m feeling unsure. I love how yours turned out. I just saw your nutcote on IG. I’ll add you on there. I’m jggypsyheartminis

I love the double decker addition, it turned out great

I didn’t know they were links you know sometimes it just underlined things that aren’t really clickable links lol! I’ll learn the ways around here. So neat I love that and I love the look of the laurel.

That sounds promising! Are there any pictures or albums you’ve seen?

I’d love to see photos of any of these kits that have been modified slightly. I’m not sure I’m up for a huge bash but they are around the side I’m needing and hope to build a small one first then move to one of these I’m really a farmhouse kind of girl so I was thinking the Jefferson might be easier to put a porch on and make look like a 100 year old farmhouse but I love all three and would like to see yours. the Fairfield is also a favorite but it doesn’t come in 1” scale correct?

I like the shabby look so the sticks seams wouldnt bother me however I find the siding strips 100% easier to use i have never used liquid nails, does it work well for shingles too? I have always used quick grip but the smell/fumes are awful. They even bother my daughter

This is so true. No one would know but me

Sable, I have a stack of doors laying around so that’s not an issue at all. What does everyone usually do for siding? Craft sticks or real siding sheets from houseworks?

Would it work best to buy two kits to have an additional side wall? Or just use different wood from the hardware store? This is a wonderful idea and yes I’m going to check the links out now that I have a minute

That’s a great idea

I’m not sure what you mean about turning the roof since I haven’t seen it in person but I have saws and plenty of tools. I’ve been building custom room boxes for years (just quit last year) so cutting new openings would be ok if I could just get a plan I’d love to work on a small one like that

Thank you. I mostly enjoy painting furniture. I haven’t been able to in the past couple of months due to this mystery illness and had to pack up all of my Miniatures for a while but furniture painting is something I love to do. I tried to add a profile photo but they were too big even when I edited them so I’m not sure I’ll be able to add pictures lol

Thank you ☺️

Thank you. Yes I will order directly from Greenleaf. I bought a different kit on eBay once and even though it was just wood it was very warped from years of heat and possibly water damage Good idea starting with a small one just to see if it bothers me. I’d have gone with a big one lol

Great! I’m happy to know this. That’s why I asked here because I hadn’t had one yet so I wasn’t sure. I did put a die cut kit together that a friend of mine makes and had no issues. It was also heat pressed

Thank you, I will definitely try that. We lived in Vero Beach for a few years and just loved it. I don’t like the weight of the MDF houses at all but the dust and smell even with a mask bothers me

Thank you. I haven’t ever built a greenleaf so I’m not sure if the smell and dust is as bad as with mdf. It seems lately that the mdf just closes my throat up. I know a lot of people hate using it for various reasons, allergies being one. Things like unfinished wood doors and windows, shingles, posts and craft bass wood strips (from Houesworks, Classics and other places) don’t bother me at all. I never would have thought about putting activated charcoal in the box.

Ok, I know this may sound like a totally strange question... I’ve been sick the past few months and the doctors are narrowing things down and suspected fibromyalgia. Smells have been bothering me. Things that never have before, like MDF outgassing and some other things like quick hold and some paints. Things I’ve used 1000 times I have built lots of real good toys and housework’s and have worked with them for years but just can’t handle it lately so I have been looking at a few Greenleaf kits and wondering about the smell/outgassing or any issues. The last dollhouse I bought was Melissa and Doug (House that jack built) and the plywood smell was terribly strong. I’m sure it’s glue used to hold layers together? Is anyone else sensitive to smells that might have an opinion on this? I don’t want to seal every single piece and I have looked into constructing my entire house out of foam board but not sure I want to do that. I’d love to build one of these beautiful kits Would love some tips or suggestions. Thanks in advance xx Dani

Hello!! I’m new here. Not “new” to dollhouse building or Miniatures but new to green leaf. My name is Danielle and I have my own mini business but I’m really interested in learning about these houses and hopefully building one for myself soon
