Colonial isn't my thing to recreate but it has lots of potential. @Mid-life madness is a colonial lover as well.....Hope it finds a good home as it appears it was built with love. In the real world, I'd need to put 16k towards an electric car. But I'd love that house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only it were more affordable to ship dollhouses! You're welcome, Jodi. I love your Soap Shop and enjoyed watching you build it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time that house was linked I think they were asking $14K. I still don't think it's worth that much, especially with those sorry little bulbs in the fireplaces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qubanqtee Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 and seriously, what is it with the bulbs, all the effort, couldn't they have done better on the fireplaces? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they used that size flame in the Colonial days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been floating around on the web for ages.. and probably will continue to at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will cost them $15,840 with me...now I can only offer them $160. lol. I love nearly everything else, tho. ok maybe I'd quibble over some color choices... I think they have to admit that they really cannot part with that house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 A "unique dollhouse"? https://www.ebay.com/itm/unique-dollhouse/263486385538 Or mayhaps something called a curio cabinet. Made from clock case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 This readable book seems so cute: https://www.ebay.com/itm/CINDERELLA-Miniature-Book-Dollhouse-1-12-Scale-Illustrated-Readable-Book-1961/181991428987 Readable books always make me think of the Queen Mary's Dollhouse library.

Elsbeth Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Here are some houses I like, thought pricing is prohibitive on these: I find this pleasant and traditional - I'd have loved this as a kid: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hand-Made-Custom-Lighted-Furnished-3-Story-Doll-House-11-Rooms-51-L-X-18-1-2-W/202044737249 And here's a beach house with an accessory dwelling unit on the property: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Doll-House-Beach-Bungalow-1-12-Scale/282847437685 And I really like this one - it speaks to the kid in me that remembers getting my first dollhouse at christmas: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fully-Furnished-and-Refurbished-Vintage-1-12-Scale-Wood-Dollhouse/273056448154 I love a good hallway.

Elsbeth Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 These were interesting and well crafted - they look small next to the ruler, but large in the hand photos...not sure how big they are. But as far as dollhouse pendants go - they seem well made. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Miniature-room-boxes-one-in-a-pendant-one-in-a-watch-case-handmade/202233382493 I'm worried if I wore one, at the end of the day it would be a jumble of furniture at the bottom of the casing. But these are probably more for hanging up, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I also like this battery lamp in the wall sconce/oil lamp style: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Wall-oil-sconce-SUPER-bright-battery-LED-LAMP-Dollhouse-miniature-light-black-/382372225594 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I like that pendant! I would imagine that the furniture is fixed in place, if it's to be worn as a pendant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about an hour and a half from me which is about my limit for driving to get a house. :D On 2/22/2018, 12:48:46, Elsbeth said: Mine is 30 min. I waited years for my Beacon Hill...but it finally showed up only 10 minutes away, lol. But I do think a wider radius means more houses! Hooray!

Thanks Susie, I hope so too. I've been busily searching the web for versions of this house and most of them are in Europe oddly.. I think this was a European pattern originally. I have been salivating over people's pictures and wondering what all the possibilities are with such a large house with so many rooms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Yep, those are Houseworks windows (the small one at the top is a Classics, but Houseworks makes the same size). The ones on the first floor are the taller skinny ones: https://www.miniatures.com/Victorian-Slim-Working-Window-P17967.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
