Acquired 2 Magnolia Dollhouse Kits

[hdatsopoulos]

Hello Everyone! I recently acquired not 1, but 2, Magnolia Dollhouse kits from Corona Concepts. My parents found the boxes tucked in the back of a closet when they moved into a new apartment. When they pulled the boxes out and realized what they were, I got really excited, because I love building dollhouses, and the Magnolia was one that I always toyed with buying. It was like Christmas in July! However, it looks like I’m missing pieces, that I will either need to build myself or reorder. I already know that I’m missing 24 of the 32 window sashes that I need. Let the building challenge begin!

I'm puzzled as to why, out of TWO Magnolia kits, there aren't enough bits & pieces to build ONE complete dollhouse.  It makes me wonder what the previous owners did with the kits.  Window frames are easily cobbled from strip wood, craft sticks or scrap wood.

Welcome, Holly. You might consider replacing all of the window pieces with a matboard build, as Kris shows here in her tutorial. In my current build the Newberg, I just flat out abandoned all of the kit pieces and am making my own windows.
