nuttiwebgal Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 a few months ago I met an awesome lady who buys estate miniatures and works her magic and resales on my first visit to her home I was surrounded by wonderful miniatures as she showed me her wonderful collection of vintage and antique miniatures...including gestalt house and 100yr old dolly that was her first purchase as a child...one item caught my eye...it was a gorgeous Queen Anne completely decorated including wiring with Chandeliers...after I ooooed and awwwwwed over what I have always felt was my dream dollhouse...she let me know that she was going to resell it after this yrs show season ended...it needs cleaning and a few shingles and paint touch ups....so we came to an agreement and this week the Queen will be coming home to live.....I am beyond excited....I know she is already decorated but I have a few plans of my own for a couple of the rooms....but for the Christmas season and till after we get moved I will fill her with all the wonderful items that I have collected over the yrs.... the challenge now is to coordinate a truck and strong hands for the moving.... I cant wait to get her here and take photos to share.... only here am I understood in my total giddy excitement!!! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still cant believe it will be mine...I only dared to dream the dream of such a house! and I can tell you...Im pretty happy it is already put together lol!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsbeth Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I know your joy... I got a fully built dream house a few years back. I actually love pre-loved houses. I can tell you the magic of that beloved perfect match pre-built dream house-surprise-acquisition never fades. I think it is a love at first sight situation when this happens --and I think the house loves you back. It obviously called to you--a perfect match! photos photos photos please!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuttiwebgal Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 hopefully Wed but Thursday if not....have been rearranging my niche for the impending arrival! I know the upper tower room is going to be "The Red Velvet Room" one of my fav books as a tween...still have a copy and one of the downstair rooms will hold my collection of miniature blown glass from my favorite E-bay seller... and the attic will make a great miniaturist crafting room other than that I have no other thoughts...until it is here and starts talking to me!! ...Holly...Edna thinks all her things from the Arthur would be lovely in the new house! Dave just rolls his eyes...she is much to fangled for his taste! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuttiwebgal Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 I had to wait all day while the poor thing set in the back of a uhaul for DH to get home and help me put her in the place of honor in front of my big picture window....SIGH.... she is pretty much perfect just the way she is...and guess what...no green curtains...hahahahahahaha....not sure why I remembered or thought there was ...lol... Im not happy to have nursery paper in the bedroom...but for now I have some nice nursery stuff that will look good there...and my red velvet room is currently green....although it is a rich green and I may be able to work with it...but for now I will fill it with some of my goodies and worry about redoing rooms after we move into our new digs....it is love!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
