So yeah. Who is taking bets that I will make a big announcement on my latest purchase next week!? That house is a beast but oh what a canvas to work on. Good luck!

Elsbeth Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Here is an overly simple dollhouse being sold by Crate&Barrel or $200 (on clearance for $159!): https://www.crateandbarrel.com/brownstone-dollhouse/s418902 I know little kids often need simpler dollhouses for safety reasons, but I really think it could be better than this. The Fisher Price Sesame Street playset was a stellar miniature-brownstone experience compared to this. And that was in the 1970s.

havanaholly Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Well the furniture and "dolls" they're selling with that box dollhouse are nothing to write home about, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I had that Fisher Price Sesame Street set! My parents still have it, my niece and nephews play with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one with the tower? Of course, now it vanished when I went to look for it again to put a link to it. I found a Noel Thomas house yesterday in Offerup. It had been listed three months ago and I emailed the person in the ad and I haven't heard back. I believe it's this house here, as the nameplate says 1976 and this is - sort of - what the house looks like. This pic is taken from Pat and Noel's site. When I said sort of, I meant it. This is what it looks like now: Here is the nameplate: I am sincerely hoping these people still have the house, as I'd like to restore it to the original as much as possible. Besides, they're offering it for only $30. That's a price I can afford. LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Many years ago Lowe's used to stock Greenleaf kits during Christmas; once I had a job that I could afford this hobby, they were no longer selling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Alas, the inside is neither naked nor primed, and I thought I spotted hot glue globs oozing at some of the seams. Too bad that someone started on the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapz Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I decided to call these "Good luck- Houses": Paint over raw wood, some rather generic furniture, and bubbling wallpaper............. Very nicely done, display case is beautiful - the price though................... No words necessary........... Ambitious pricing for a Harrison and a few interesting auctions: Never seen one of those before Interesting building concept Too much money for me, but it's a Tudor............ sigh And two Hacker houses - there is just something about them: I love the interior on this one and on this one all I have this morning... Happy Friday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 That Dura-Craft San Franciscan's wallpaper looks the way it does because the builder didn't realize to spackle over the interior side of those exterior walls, which are tongue & groove sections of plywood, milled on the exterior side. I didn't do that to the first two houses I built, because they look lovely and flat to the eye when done. All of them appear to have been played with at some point. Those Hacker houses are gorgeous!
