shamrockgirl18 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Found this Christmas music box decoration at Goodwill Buy the Pound today. It's plastic, but it looks nice. It's begging to be transformed into a half scale dollhouse! The outside already looks great. I started by ripping out the cheap, resin figurines. You can see the plastic, knobby portions left behind sticking up. I will be re-doing the floors ASAP. The music box mechanism still works, but the battery-operated lights do not work anymore. It was too cute to just let it languish there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I think I have almost the same house I bought for $5.00 at a garage sale. Looks the same on the outside but mine on the inside is beautifully decorated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'll be interested to see what you do with the lumps where bits have broken off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just put new floors on top. It's cardboard with 'wood' contact paper on it. Once I fill the house with furniture and accessories the floors won't even be very visible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not crazy about the wallpaper, but I don't think I'm going to re-do it. I just plan on filling the house with cute furniture and accessories, like a big Christmas tree and a fireplace, etc. I just need to find some nice-looking half-scale stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hey Erin! Sorry, just saw your post asking if I had pictures. My camera doesn't take the greatest pictures. It definitely looks better in person, but here you go! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who saw it at the store suggested it might be a Hallmark product, but I don't see any markings on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I asked my friend who had put it in her garage sale and she thought she bought it at Walmart or some other cheap store and that it wasn't expensive. If it was Hallmark surely they would have their name on it. Sorry I couldn't get you more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
