WC Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) I have to stop going to antique shops. I went last weekend and came home with a rather neglected two story plus attic house. I first thought it might have been built from a kit. It has printed wood floors and roof, but some of the walls are old scraps of wood paneling. The windows are thick plexiglass, not the thin plastic sheets. I pulled up two vinyl tiles and removed some 1980s wallpaper. This one has a lot to be repaired and it may be beyond me, but I just couldn't leave it there (plus it was only $20). Sorry for the poor quality photo- I took it with my laptop.

rbytsdy Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 For $20, I don't think I would have left it either. Would love to see some inside pics. Is it 1/12, or a bit less? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 How could you resist the poor, pathetic thing? It will remake into a truly lovely residence for some lucky little family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjb Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 It looks very much like an Arrow Dream House. My tech skills aren't good enough for me to do a link but there are a few on eBay right now. It sounds/looks like a bash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 $20 is a great find! Can't wait to see it when it is done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WC Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Tara, Thanks for the i.d. I searched Arrow on both this forum and out on the internet. I believe this house is a bash of the Arrow Dream House. Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyckedWood Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 That is a really cute house. I wouldn’t have left it behind either. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thriftymini Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I am curious about the depth and width of your house. I have a house somewhat like this one but with different attic dormers, no side porch and just window and door openings. Mine is 7" deep, about 14 1/2" wide and about 23" tall. Height of ceiling is about 7 1/2". I have not rehabbed the house yet, but have played around with arranging Tomy and Lundby furniture in it. Look forward to see what you do with your house.
