This rare dollhouse which I have painted and decorated is my pride and joy. I purchased it as an unpainted shell from the original owner in NJ about 2 years ago. As you all know, Hofco made very high-end dollhouses in the 1980s which are very sought-after now (you can search for Hofco dollhouses on Ebay to see the kind of prices they fetch - a google search turns up an auction one year ago for the same make/model that went for over $2000). Made of cabinet-grade wood, this is a sturdy house but with delicate features. The 2-story porch is one of the widest dollhouse porches in the business. All of the windows are Hofco windows, and all of the doors with the exception of the swinging door to the kitchen which is a houseworks door. All furniture is included, and I will throw in the Ikea rolling cart base free of charge. Must pick up - Miami Beach Normandy Isle, Florida location - elevator building. Created in a smoke-free apartment. You will need at least two people to get it to your vehicle, and note dimensions: approximately 4 ft x 3 ft x 2 ft (dollhouse). Rolling cart is 58" long x 35" high x 15'" wide.Ground floor: 3 rooms: Living Room/Dining Room/Kitchen 1st Floor: 3 bedrooms and hallway with French doors that leads out to porch. Top Floor: 2 rooms. I've painted the interior white, and left it that way for future owners to decorate as they wish. The floors are templates that are removable in case you'd like different flooring or want to electrify the dollhouse. Will include touch-up paint. You can see many more pictures of the dollhouse on my blog:https://rockawayrosedollhouse.blogspot.com/search/label/Key%20West%20dollhouseJust the furniture alone is approximately $900 so this is a deal. Priced to sell as I need to make room for other projects. Will consider serious best offers.

From the album: The Shabby Chic Dollhouse
Still need to dress it up with some office props, mini scripts, playbills, file folders, and office supplies, a Tony Award and perhaps a gold record, but this room is basically done. I want to write here!© c The Dollhouse Whisperer

From the album: The Shabby Chic Dollhouse
Following a tutorial I found on Google images of a RL painted floor (http://whiteoakattic.com/365-days-of-shabby-chic-decor/365-days-of-shabby-chic-decor-resources-painted-floors-1-4-11/) , I taped off the floor, putting a piece of tape in the squares that were going to remain white. I used a ruler and a pencil to make lines at an angle. I'm math challenged - the tutorial has a detailed mathematical way to do it, but I just eyeballed it. Shabby Chic style embraces mistakes. :-)© The Dollhouse Whisperer

The Painting Process of the Shabby Chic Bedroom floor
RockawayRose posted a gallery image in Members' Gallery
From the album: The Shabby Chic Dollhouse
Here's how the painting of the floor began. The bedroom originally had a varnished popsicle stick floor. I sanded it lightly, then painted a light coat of primer - to keep the shabby look.© The Dollhouse Whisperer
