I have been practicing on the Orchid dollhouse kit; over and over for four years, preparing for my attempt at the Beacon Hill. This is my fourth Orchid attempt; I just need to finish up the shingles. I started this dollhouse project on November 28, 2015. I believe after I get this finished; I will slowly start on the Beacon Hill. I have felt intimidated by all the pieces in the box but after looking at a lot of blogs on the Beacon Hill and the photos of others working on this dollhouse; I think I am ready to start it as soon as I finish the shingles on the Orchid.
