madtex1967 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Hi All! Like KathieB I am going to let my partially completed dollhouse go. I recently moved and don't have the space for this and I have not touched in in 2+ years. It needs a good home. As you can see by my pictures in my GALLERY, I have done a lot of bashing to make it one of a kind. It will come with all the windows and exterior doors, plus all the original pieces from the kit. It is 90% wired with tape on the walls and floors and hard wire in the foundation hooked up a lighting control panel. I am not selling the custom staircase and fireplaces. Please IM for more information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 *sigh* I don't have room, either... But I have seen Matt's Garfield, and it is magnificent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesp2k Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 That's too bad Matt - its a beautiful house - hope someone can finish it to the level it deserves - good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I, too, have seen Matt's Garfield and echo Holly's "magnificent". I hope it attracts buyers. So far I've not had one response to my giveaway of the Beacon Hill. I may be forced to finish her myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapz Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Beautiful house, Matt. I wish I had the money - then again, if you still have it in September.... The Garfield is the last one (and only Victorian) on my list (so far) and yours is perfect (I really don't like doing the exteriors right now). Kathie & Holly - 10 days and counting........ I'm doing a lot of plaster fireplaces with my molds - I hope you need a few because I'll be bringing some for you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Ooo, ooo, ooo, I'm starting to get excited! Kathie, I wish the BH had ever spoken to me... I really think Sophia needs it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madtex1967 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Thanks everyone for the compliments. I really hate to sell it, but I have just lost the energy for it. Donna - maybe you need a road trip to New Orleans? Chris - I may just still have it then. I haven't listed it on eBay (or maybe etsy) yet. I am still unpacking and putting things away. So the Garfield is in the corner under a sheet waiting . . . I want;to put out feelers here first if someone was interested before going other routes to sell it!

fov Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 It's beautiful. I hope you find it a good home. (And I hope you're holding on to the Victorianna...?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long trip.......but actually I am planning on a cross country trip!. I know for sure I will be going to Kansas and off to Souh Dakota. I am hoping to find a way to go back to Alabama along the way and possibly Florida. Who knows I may just may have to make a stop in LA while I am at it. This is all conditional right now on my hubby. He knows I want to go but I am not sure when we can start the trip. We have to get rice harvest done first which will be sometime in August I thinks closer to the end of the month. Then I hope to be able to do the trip and be back in time for my son's wedding in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Well if you're going back by way of FL & AL through LA and we're home, you could stop off & say hello... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt's in the French Quarter and we're right across the bridge in Algiers. Do stop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L Swearengin Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Just went to the French Quarter. Dropped off a house at the Villalobos shop as a donation. They seemed to be appreciative of the donation. My grandkids helped to build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madtex1967 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 So . . . . I still have this Garfield, sitting under the stairs and covered by a sheet. I have only had 3 inquiries all this time. I have it on Craigslist, eBay and Etsy. The last inquiry was someone wanting to purchase it for their 7 year old . I don't think she realized it was not a house intended for play. Sigh, I wish it would go to a good home. I have dropped the asking price twice. The initial price was WAY below the money invested, not counting my time. I am seriously thinking of finding a good charity in the area to donate for an auction.

Matt, I'm so sorry the Garfield is languishing. If you find a charity that will appreciate it, let me know. I may have something for them as well.

havanaholly Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Sam, Matt lives in the Vieux Carre there in NOLA, and his Garfield's exterior color scheme is similar to one of the houses on his street (unless he repainted it). I have seen this gorgeous house (have no room for it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
