Rehabbing the Laurel which original builder put together with hot glue -- so it has been quite easy to take apart.  Love the small footprint of the Laurel, but making a few modifications.  Moving the stairs, front door, adding more floor space to the kitchen work area by bumping out the sidewall and making a small dining area by bumping out the front (under the porch) just to fit small table and chairs.

Bought this older 1:12 house at a yard sale. It is in need of cleaning and repair. It came with mismatched furnishings and accessories.

Building the Greenleaf McKinley Dollhouse with just a few modifications.  My thanks for those who have shared their building of this kit.  I have learned a lot from their pictures and blogs.  A special thankyou to Gina who is currently blogging her build of the McKinley on her Facebook page, More Minis Dollhouses.
Husband, again, will be doing the wiring.  The false walls of this build will help hide the electrical wiring and terminal block. 

Bought this Beacon Hill Rehab in October 2017, but did not start working on it until this weekend.  Husband told me this time he expects me to help more with the electrical so I can learn how to do it.  We will see how that goes.

Beautiful old mystery house with the porch of my dreams.  Had working lights (even stove and fireplace lights), but we tore it out.  Husband is going to rewire the house.

Converting a Dura Craft FH505 Farmhouse to an AirBnB Jersey Shore Beach House.

Creating a 1:24 scale lighthouse/keeper's house from the 1:12 Canterbury Dollhouse Kit.

Learning to use the ruler for more than just a straight edge with this half scale build.

Using pieces from the Dura Craft Newberg to create a smaller footprint half timber house.

Love this house, but for now just did a quick rehab.  First time using Drywall/Joint Compound on the ceiling and walls.  Just used wallpaper samples and placemats for the flooring.
