Hello everyone! My name is Ani and I'm new to the forum (although I've been a lurker for a long time) so I just wanted to introduce myself. I live in the San Francisco area. About 2 years ago I bought myself a huge laser-cut victorian farmhouse, but moved shortly afterward and just don't have room to build it in our current apartment. Also, in retrospect, that was way too big and fancy a house for my very first build - even before we moved my anxiety/perfectionism got in the way of starting! My very sweet SO just bought me a Greenleaf Orchid kit (which we do have room for), with the thought that a smaller house will be easier to start with and since it isn't my super-perfect-dream-dollhouse (like the kit stored in my mother's basement) I'll have an easier time just jumping in and counting it as "practice" for the big one. I'm excited to get started and I know I'll be constantly reading posts on here as I go for tips and tricks! I love that the Orchid seems to be so popular as I've already found quite a few blogs and forum posts online of builds!
