shannonc60 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The Knapp House by Clell Boyce/Victorian Times put together by Liz Lebosse. And I'd also love a Sid Cook Highgate, but I could make one of those from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokomo Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 This is the one I would love to build and it was built from scratch by a member of this forum named Ronald James. It's the Carson Mansion in Eureka, CA. Love, love, love it sooooo much! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgwyn Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 OMG, Samusa, that is the most beautiful house I have ever seen. And the detail. Amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Right now, I really want the Holly-Ann by The House that Jack Built...Unfortunately, I seldom see any HTJB kits. https://www.amazon.com/melissa-doug-house-built-dollhouse/dp/b003ahe0y2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debsrand56 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 That house is truly gorgeous, Sam. My dream dollhouse would be anything art deco by Henry Colbert, but preferably the Sun House, since that was in half scale. http://modernminihouses.blogspot.com/2010/01/thoroughly-moderne-henry-colbert.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgwyn Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 That is such a cute house Carrie. Too bad it is out of stock. I'll keep my eyes open for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either a mammoth bash or custom.. no idea who built it but everytime I see it in a web search I swoon. I've been looking at this house for years and I think it may be the Pembrook from Victorian Times Miniatures with an added porch around the tower, an added dormer, and maybe an addition on the left (facing the house). It's really hard to tell because the pictures in my catalog are so small and I'm seeing the house from a different angle - that's why I can't be sure of the addition on the left of it. But that would be my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I've pretty much got my dream house in the Hofco Americana, but I keep wanting to get additions to it and I don't have a place to put it. So it's sitting behind my dresser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otterine Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Oh, I have most of mine. I just need to be independently wealthy so I can just build minis as well as a really long life. This one might be next...maybe...no promises. It is already started, at least. This next one takes up a beastly amount of space with the garden, so I would also need a larger real life house. This next one is a partial kit, but with enough time I could scratch build it from the pieces and plans I do have. I have the windows and doors, too. Another beast that I would convert into a lighthouse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thimble Hall Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Wow there are some pretty fantastic houses there but I think none are actually available. Can I further ask then is there any available houses or perhaps ones that may show up on craigslist or ebay that you crave. I have some Carlson plans too, the post reminded me.

Beulah Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Sea Glass Victorian by Robin Carey, It just brings me to another world when I look at it. But I must say Toni that house The Carson Mansion you posted I could take in a heartbeat. I just looked it up and it is an actual house in CA. I think going to see that house may be on my bucket list now. Just beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I will amend my initial post to include one of either Ron's or Jeremy's gorgeous houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Robin Betterely's Lydia Pickett series, Tasha Tudor's Williamsburg Museum installation dollhouse, and a perfectly completed Beacon Hill for a low price. Btw, I have had other Holy Grails on my list and got at least 4 of them for nice deals on ebay and craigslist. So sometimes you just have to wait.

Elsbeth Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 But lets be honest - I really want a giant real-size house so that I can have EVERY DOLLHOUSE I SEE because I love nearly all of them. Basically I want to live and work in a huge dollhouse museum of my own. Every day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitten Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I have all of the houses I have ever wanted now. The Queen Anne, the Glencliff and the Joseph Angel. If I had to choose one more that I'd love to have it would have to be the Lawbre Chateau or maybe the ShadowCliff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
