I think I have bitten off more than I can chew with this one. I saved the roof and columns and am rebuilding the house itself. It's sooooo hard! After this I won't be attempting scratch builds again. I ( unfortunately ) watched gone with the wind and am trying to blend the three houses from the movie to create this interior. Holy cow! I've set the bar way too high. I keep changing the bottom floor, because once I started thinking about adding the ceiling, I realized I had blocked sight of rooms with walls, so out the walls came. Now I'm thinking columns to divide rooms with no walls at all, but then, how do I hold up the ceiling? Good grief! What was I thinking?! Ugh!

This was originally going to be given to me. It was just sitting in my friends garage aging terribly. I knew she has a 6 year old, so I offered to fix it up and she can give it to her daughter for Christmas. I still can't believe she didn't think of that. It came out more beautiful than I expected it to. I'm getting better with every rehab. This is such satisfying work.

She asked and 4 hours later someone gave this to me. It's my God wink.

My friend Bill asked if mine is a good home for his mom's doll house.

Booth eye candy and also my purchases, with how to reach the sellers included in all pics.

My little boy decided that the beacon hill that we received from "Forum friend" Gina, should be the spiderwick Chronicles house. So....... Here we go!!

eBay find

I'm not a very abstract thinker, so this project is turning out to be harder than I expected. It will be displayed in a baby nursery decorated in a Dr. Seuss theme.
