I guess she loves it enough not to want to part with it unless she got A LOT for it. She priced a Franklin Mint house (which I also have) at 80k, and she had redone some of the wallpaper and added some Reutter items and that seemed to be about it. I also love mine and won't part with it, but I don't bother listing it on ebay for fantastical prices. I guess in a way it is marketing for her museum? Doe she have to pay to list all those? The irony is the Franklin Mint house would be worth less after she has changed stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Spanish revival artist's studio is gatorboard, this blog post shows what it looked like "naked", to give you an idea of the material. That same seller also has a Bill Lankford cottage up for sale: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-24-scale-cottage-dollhouse-from-a-Bill-Lankford-class-unfinished-interior-VGC/183227754883 I have the same cottage (also an eBay purchase) and just like this one, mine was finished on the outside and totally untouched inside. I guess he offered classes to finish the exterior and people did their own interiors, but it makes me wonder how many people got home after class and just never did anything with it! (Although I guess since it's fully enclosed, it would be tempting to focus on the outside and leave the inside alone.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fov Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I was lazily clicking through the photos of this estate sale and my heart stopped when I hit #10: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/gms/d/amazing-vintage-eclectic-san/6590402981.html My first thought was that it's a Jim Marcus, but it can't be with those Houseworks windows. Still, it looks like it could be something special. I don't have space for something that big but I'd like to see it in person, so I'll probably go down there and take a look at it tomorrow (and hope it's still there when I do!) The ad says the sale has been going since Thursday so it could be long gone. Wish I'd seen this sooner! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Emily, what a neat house! Hope it's still there, would love to hear about /see the rest. The description says it's a replica of a SF house, so that's always cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
