LMAO That house is about 10 miles away from me. I check Craig's List practically daily (in case someone has a huge, beautiful house for free) and it just jumped out at me. That was sheer coincidence and had nothing to do with me being incredible. But thank you anyway. *still laughing* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsbeth Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 That is one sad Pepperwood Farm. They botched the diningroom roofline, too. Poor house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 It looks like 1/2" thick boards were used to build that poor pitiful pearl of a Pepperwood. Nice glossy paint job really shows up the huge wood grain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice glossy paint job really shows up the huge wood grain! I've been using the Pepperwood plan book --Jackie K Dieber actually instructs to use 1/2 thick wood. zing so heavy. When I bought my pre-built 1:12 Pepperwood it was 1/2 thick walls PLUS thick siding attached to that. Glorious house and floor plan but so freak in'heavy I had to sell it.

Jeannine I should probably try to buy them online - and maybe the Dieber family will get a residual (they should!). But I'd love to see the floor plan before I buy it - because prices are a little high for that house! - I will PM you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given how pricy that area is, it doesn't surprise me they want that much for that kit. LOL Has someone posted this one before? I think it's a kit from Shellie's Miniature Mania, a copy of the huge dollhouse she has in the middle of her store. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Very-Large-22-Room-Doll-House-DollHouse-W-Furniture-Needs-Completing/192245874016?_trksid=p5411.c100167.m2940&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140131123730%26meid%3D28a5b7517f8b49d0b891d8d4d35549c4%26pid%3D100167%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D142421072261 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qubanqtee Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 last week I picked up a house on Offer Up, a GEL HK8 Bobbi Sue - I had asked @rodentraiser if she knew anything about the house. Well, something was pulling me to the house and I went and purchased it for $75 ...turns out it's a BobbiSue, complete with 2 story addition and patio extension. there's lighting in the boxes, wallpaper, windows, french doors, victorian doors, christmas trees, mini books, cast iron pots and pans, a scale phone, railings, catalogs and an etched miniature photo she picked up while in New Orleans from Broel's Museum in 1995. Every single receipt for anything she purchased for the house is in the box - she purchased it from THE DOLLHOUSE LADY in southern california, it's the first place that as a child I ever saw miniatures. I think that when I'm done with this house I will name it after her. she passed of Cancer in February at the mere age of 52....a year younger than I am right now. I don't know why this house called to me, but I hope I do it justice. Sorry for the rant, I just felt compelled to share. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad the house is with someone who understands the amazingness of it...and the work put in by the original owner. Nice story. I'm so glad you heard it calling to you!

I think it's an awesome story, but very sad about the lady passing from cancer. That's pretty darn young. Jog my memory, though - what did I say the house was? Or was that the one that I asked if it was a Batrie model? My books and magazines are still bagged in my car and now Terminex is coming in on Thursday to do a followup spraying of the rooms (I just found out today). So I won't be able to get at my magazines until probably this weekend. My catalogs do list some of the GEL houses and I remember seeing the one with a double porch, but I just don't remember right off the bat what it was. Didn't the ad say it was a RGT house, though?

When I bought the kit I ordered it from Shellie and then picked it up at her shop with no sign it came from Majestic Mansions except that she told me.
