I found this house on Australia's version of Craigslist, Gumtree

I think it could be a cute Christmas house and is already slightly Christmas-y on the exterior... The shutters have pine trees on them. :D 

I'm a bit inspired to do a Christmas house by Jodi @Its_a_sm_world_after_all & I dunno.. I kinda dig it.. :)

They want $100 ($75usd) Not sure it's worth it.. what do you think?

Btw, that is the perfect balcony for Santa and Mrs. Claus to do the official pre-sleigh loading address from.

And here is a second house in Chicago...(they say is "Rare", but it is not, very common) https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/for/d/large-vintage-rare-wood-doll/6402697490.html

It's actually the mini copy of Rosemont in Waxahachie,, TX.

Matt, thanks so much for posting the link and clarifying the style of the house.  The Rosemont house is only 3 hours away from me. It's breathtakingly beautiful inside and out.  And it's not a white house.  I think I will name my house the Rosemont too!  I will probably be broke by the time I finish and furnish this house if I replicate the inside of the house. LOL

Here is a set of Pierce working window with a low starting bid.  I would be snatching this up if I didn't already have a set for my Pierce!

I knew I had seen the real house at one point.  I had to do some searching but finally found it.  I remembered it was in Texas, so I had a start.  So many of the kits out there (old and new) are based on real houses!

Wow, that is a beautiful house and not too far from me.  I will definitely have to go see it.  I wonder if they give tours.

Patti, It says it's privately owned.  If you do go, let me know if you can even see it.  It states it has a tremendous drive up, I imagine it has a gate keeping the curious people like us out.  I don't want to drive all the way up there and you can't even get close to it.

Ye old "antique custom built" Chantilly for $249. It won't go for that. But I do find that kit charming.

No kidding.  I absolutely love her stuff.  Sometimes, I just look at her Web site when I feel I need to be inspired.  I love Brooke Tucker, too, though she mostly does room boxes.

I saw somewhere...maybe Nutshell news? - where Brooke Tucker was commissioned to create a "house" of roomboxes. It was HUGE. And beautiful. It was a gift for someone on their wedding day. So the house was decorated as if in preparation for a wedding. Really cute. It must have cost a fortune. And a lot of Brooke's time. Wow.

She really decorates every inch too - in places I'd never think. She really enhanced the window trim from that kit so nicely. The only thing I think it missing is some way of keeping or a nod to the Chantilly's unique curbed doorway. I like it though it needs just a few nudges to be more realistic. Robin when with a standard replacement which was probably wise.

Agreed. And I think the gable trim is way too chunky for the rest of the trim. But she does make a pretty house and has a lot of imagination.

There's a book on a lot of the Brooke Tucker roomboxes and at the end there's a full photo section of the house, with each room enlarged in color. It's quite a house. I think it was called The Yellow Rose of Texas and that Brooke had scheduled a whole year to do it in. It was originally a commission that was cancelled and Brooke had to find another buyer for it. I don't know who owns the house now.

I do!  It's at the Miniature Time Machine Museum in Tucson.  I saw it when I was down there in October.  Duh.  I did not put two and two together until I Googled Brooke Tucker Yellow Rose of Texas.  They had several of her room boxes there as well, including an art deco room I was drooling over.

I'm glad it is at a Museum!

And is it me or is there no kitchen?

As I recall, there is a kitchen.  I don't think we're seeing the full house in these pictures.  It was quite a large and elaborate set-up, and you could walk all the way around it.

Her rooms do have a TV set look - which I quite like. Her stairs and bump outs/ins seem very distinctive to her work. I like them. I don't always think a bed needs a platform with stairs, but it does make a room more interesting and contemporary. I love looking at that Texas Rose house.  It must be amazing in person.

Ok, I have a friend who lives in waxahachie, there is also a nice quilt store and a good scrapbooking store there.

So, ever go, WHAT?!  It's the house I have been searching forever and there it is!  That just happened to me.  I pulled the trigger and made an offer for it on eBay.  Its the Opening Scenes Replica of Tara.  Complete in box.  I probably paid too much, but it is so rare, I couldn't resist!
