madtex1967 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 These two keep popping up when I search Craigslist. Ugh, as I have said before, someone would be unhappy with me bringing another house into our house! Granville $200 OBO. It's been there a long while so that OBO might be a way to go! https://neworleans.craigslist.org/tag/d/metairie-doll-house-custom-built/6788541967.html This is interesting Willowcrest, as I thought at first it was built to look like this, but after reading more, it is what happened to it after it sat in the floodwaters. https://neworleans.craigslist.org/for/d/new-orleans-katrina-flooded-dollhouse/6811598176.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 There is something incredibly charming about this old house. I like the way even though it is a front opening house the back is finished complete with rear door and windows. In fact I love that it has windows on all sides. Needs some work but could be really lovely. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F223400083721 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deborah C Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I’ve said that I want a Greenleaf Westville as my first dollhouse. That is still true. However, I just bought a Greenleaf Beacon Hill for $100 Canadian through my local Buy and Sell! The BH is second on my list, but there was no way I could turn it down. AND it was only 100km away (note: I live in BFE British Columbia). I'm so excited! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is within driving distance for me. But...I got my Beacon Hill, so I really can't adopt another house. BUT I LOVE this one - love the arched entry way, the landing with the doors to the bathroom and bedrooms...it's really nicely done. And per my usual way, I really wouldn't change a thing (I love old wallpaper chosen by others) except to tidy and fix it up. Great house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was in driving distance, I’d be in the car.. lol.... I like the wallpaper in this one too.. it’s really charming. The floors look in good condition too. I agree it just needs a bit of s freshen up on the exterior and a good clean. I’d be tempted to add crown moulding also. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they built them like that so you could see the space behind.. but I would prefer them closed. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deborah C Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 There’s this group of various House of Miniatures and Dura Craft kits (looks like 13 or 14), two how-to books and four books of wallpaper/floor coverings. All for the low, low price of $250 CDN (actually, the per unit price isn’t bad). It’s local to me, but that’s more than I want to pay at one time. I am thinking of seeing if they’d break up the whole kit-n-kaboodle. All I would want are the HoM kits. (They’d go with the Beacon Hill, not the Westville). Anyway, just thinking out loud. https://www.facebook.com/groups/terracebuyandsell/permalink/2203086056422386?sale_post_id=2203086056422386&sfns=mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not enabling me to get this house are you? Because I've heard a lot of enabling in my time and this sure sounds like enabling.
