Summersud Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hi! I’m Summer - from the great state of Texas! We actually live just North of Fort Worth. I’m very new to the world of miniatures! I’ve always been obsessed with them, but raised 3 boys...so I just never felt I could do a dollhouse... well, now I have 5 granddaughters!! and a client I was working with (I’m a Realtor!) was going to pitch this awesome dollhouse when they were preparing to sell their home- I said Noooooo!! I want it! -so I decided to rekindle an old dream! It was in pretty bad shape - but I have it all re-wired (lights are working!) and the exterior is almost finished! I can’t wait to start on the inside!! And I can’t wait for my girls to come every time, so they can see the progress as I go along! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Welcome Summer! I am hoping, someday , I will have a granddaughter too! I still have a good 5 years before there is even a possibility. Congratulations on the electrical job! That is the biggest bugaboo for me. Do you know what model your house is, or was it a scratch build? We all love pictures here, so share some when you have a chance. ~~~Carrie~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Welcome to the little family, Summer. I also had three sons and got started building for a granddaughter; then I was having so much fun building that since then I build them to play with myself.

NellBell Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hi Summer I'm also in the My Three Sons group. Probably like me though you may have built lots of lego buildings and forts. I have no Grandchildren yet but love building dollhouses. I'm impressed you have managed lighting I haven't even tried the 12 volt style Im using the LED's that I wire and convert old lighting to. I see a long future in dollhouse with 5 granddaughters. Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qubanqtee Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Welcome Summer! I have 2 adult children living in Dallas and visit frequently! There's a great miniatures show in Dallas, this year it's in June! Maybe you'll be able to make it! I just finished a dollhouse tonight! Its really nice that you got presented the opportunity to save that house. Hope you'll post pictures after your first 5 posts...4 more to go! Welcome to the forum and looking forward to seeing your progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
