This house was made by The Dollhouse Inc, division of Jarrell Enterprises in the 1980's: Jerry Jarrell was a local craftsman in Stone Mountain, Georgia  These houses were completely assembled and shipped with the various Houseworks window & door components to finish it.  This house has thick plywood walls and is almost 52" tall x 23" deep and weighs close to 100lbs!  It is quite unique (and huge!) and I am looking forward to bringer her to life!

This Dura-Craft Bellingham Farmhouse belongs to one of my "cake friends" (from my PA cake club days) and I am fixing and finishing it up for her daughter and "someday grandchildren".  

This is the album for all those items that don't fit into any other albums....room boxes, mini finds, etc.

This is another client house.  It was built by another miniaturist, who then moved...so I was contacted to finish the house. This is going to stretch my skills!

Another Cottage for a client.  Originally this kit was to be for a benefit auction donation, but because of the COVID-19 lockdown, the auction was cancelled.  Around that same time one of my Mother's friends asked about a house for her 3 yr old granddaughter and it was the perfect solution!  The build kept me busy during my time off and a special house was given to a special someone. 

This house will be finished for a benefit auction.  A fun "quickie" build!

I purchased this Dura-Craft house 2 years ago and finally got to work on its renovations! At first I was planning on doing a basic rehab and donating it to a benefit auction....but then I decided that I loved it too much to give it away! =)

2017 Rehab project #2:  a 35/40 yr old scratch-built replica of the farmhouse the family lived in.  The house has survived 7 moves in its lifetime....but now the parents are retiring to Florida and the house needs to go to the daughter's home in New York.  I will be redecorating this for the granddaughter to play with someday (she is only 1 at the moment!). 

This was a $10 yard sale find.  I did a quick and basic renovation on it and donated it to a auction to benefit a program for young moms at my church.

Another restoration project for 2017.
