Gabby's girl Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hello and greetings from Southwest Louisiana. Several years ago, early in January, I told a dear friend "it's the year of the dollhouse!" Did you notice I said several years ago? I have thought about a dollhouse for most of my adult life but so many questions, how big does "my someday house" need to be? How big is too big? What if it isn't big enough and I don't feel like doing it again? Too many decisions to make, I'll wait some more. At that time Hobby Lobby occasionally offered a 40% off coupon EVEN ON SALE ITEMS, well all my questions were instantly answered for me, the Real Good Toys Victorian Painted Lady was on sale AND I had that magical coupon. I brought her home, it was love, it was meant to be, it was huge, it was heavy---maybe we shouldn't open it. So she sat in the closet for 2 years. Now she is open, the shell is together, I am wiring and going about this slowly, life still gets in the way. I look forward to seeing what everyone else is building. My plan is to finish this year and have a house warming party next Christmas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyole Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Welcome, Bonnie. Your house is looking lovely. (psst - Every year is the year of the dollhouse on this forum! No need to rush the build, just enjoy!) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Welcome to the little family, Bonnie. You live in one of our favorite places to visit; a few years ago we joined some friends from Havana, FL, to attend the international music festival in Lafayette and this year they have invited us to join them in Breaux Bridge for Mardi Gras (our local Mardi Gras is pretty tame). Your first house is gorgeous; I can't wait to see what's next! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaJKK Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I like what I see. I really like the addition on the right side of the house. Good job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabby's girl Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Thanks, it is stuck together with blue sticky stuff for the Christmas holiday as it lives in my living room. Next week I will disassemble everything and continue on with the wiring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
