CarolV Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Hello Everyone! My name is Carol and I am from Michigan. I discovered this site about a year ago when I was looking for information about a dollhouse my mom and I purchased over 20 years ago. We bought it at a Meijers store for $25.00. It was a floor sample sitting on a shelf that had been constructed but not decorated at all. There were no kits left for sale, so I did not know the maker or the name of this dollhouse. I painted and applied stucco to the outside but then it sat in my mom's basement until a year ago. This year, now that I saw it every day, I finally got going on it again. However, during the move, most of the stucco had crumbled and fell off. I scraped it all off and put clapboard siding on it. I have been working on the outside and inside and am almost done...after more than twenty years! The dollhouse turned out to be a Dura-Craft Queen Anne. After browsing on this site for awhile, I finally joined. I'm looking forward to starting some new miniature projects. I am so hoping the Greenleaf Cheltenham Front Opening Dollhouse will be available again some day. I know this site will be a big help with so many miniaturists sharing their knowledge of this wonderful hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Welcome to the little family, Carol. When you have made five posts you can make an album in the gallery for more photos of your Queen Anne. You have done a lovely job on what we can see.

CarolV Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Thank you very much, Holly. I'm getting close to the finish and look forward to adding photos. I'm on a mission to complete this...finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolV Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 You are absolutely right, Holly! My other half says the same thing. He's an artist (paints animals, ocean life, birds) and always has multiple paintings in progress. However, unlike myself, he has plenty of space at his home. This dollhouse I'm working on seems to get bigger every time I look at it! I do have about five or six mini projects that have been started in my head. :) By the way, your “About Me” profile is amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I was thinking more about having more than one to play with. 11 hours ago, CarolV said: ...This dollhouse I'm working on seems to get bigger every time I look at it!... I think that's a rule. I only ever build one dollhouse at a time, until I get to a point that I could bear to be "done" with it for a time; but as long as they're in my house I will keep adding things and changing things.
