seahope Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hello community! I recently purchased a 1980s Monroe dollhouse kit from my local thrift store. The kit is almost complete, but I missing sheet 9. Does anyone know how I could find replacement pieces? I've been a long time fan of miniatures but this is my first kit!

Mid-life madness Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Welcome to the forum I don't think the house is in production any longer. You might have to wait for one to come up on eBay,....Can you tell what sheet 9 consisted of on the directions? Could you fashion the missing pieces? You could try to call Greenleaf and see if they have any replacement sheets. I don't know if they keep old stock around, but it might be worth a try. If you don't have any luck, you could try another house. Greenleaf has some nice reasonably priced houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very bottom of this page, below the last post, to the right of the word "Theme" there is a Contact Us" button; or you can go to this page: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/about-us/greenleaf_dollhouse.html and at the bottom on the left is all the contact information you need to ask Greenleaf about the missing sheet of wood for your kit. It would be nice if you could post us an introduction in the Newcomers' Forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My missing sheet had pieces for the foundation, roof, and trim. I have the (disintegrating) directions, but I don't know what the length of anything should have been, nor do I have the ability to cut detailed wood pieces. I tried looking in the FAQ but the links were broken, so I just sent off an email to Greenleaf asking if there is a way I could get a replacement sheet. Thanks for the suggestions =) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Once you dry fit the remaining kit parts together you may be able to figure out how to cobble replacements, or someone with an unbuilt kit might be able to trace the missing pieces and send you the tracings to cut new ones.

Shakyshaky Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Sheet 9 has the roof trim, shutter pieces, window trim, foundation pieces, and right and left gable walls. Mine is in process, but I can give you measurements if you need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Melanie, could you trace those pieces for Martha and she could PM you her snail mail address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakyshaky Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The gables, roof trim and foundation I can, but I didn't use some of the the window trim so I threw them out. I do have the round and hexagon window trim so it's only the rectangle one you would need and you can measure the windows for those. I just need your address. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 For window trim (which I have also made from scratch) I use 1/4" x 1/16" stripwood, laying it along one side of the window and marking where to cut it; once the two side pieces are in place I lay the remainder of the strip along the top & bottom, and mark where to cut those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
