thd610 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Hi all, Since I bought my Tennyson dollhouse at Goodwill for a buck, it was basically just a structure. It didn't have any of the building components like window frames or doors. I was able to make the windows by using upcycled clear plastic from containers (like take-out ones that I kept and washed) and some popsicle sticks.Finding doors the right size for the openings was a challenge because I didn't have the ones that were meant to be with the dollhouse kit, and the nice quality ones that are stocked at places like Hobby Lobby were not the right size. (I really don't have the tools or expertise to resize the opening in a kit that's already assembled and on it's way to being completed.) The upstairs door to the porch was attached to the exterior rather than sitting flush in the opening. It's not ideal, but it doesn't look awful.Trying to get a front door has been more difficult. The dollhouse is meant to have double doors, but I couldn't find any double doors the right size. I had some cardboard ones installed for a bit, but they looked terrible.Then yesterday, the Goddess of Free Stuff smiled on me again!I picked up a huge stash of Barbie stuff from the side of the road, including a nice Barbie house and a whole bag of dolls, accessories and other assorted plastic do-dads.In the bag, was this random pink and white plastic door; apparently, it's supposed to be part of a fairy door kit: https://ttpm.com/p/18114/cra-z-art/opening-fairy-doors-luna/ It's the perfect height for the house! I just need to add some trim around the sides to hide the gap. There's a pic of it in my gallery: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/?app=gallery&module=gallery&controller=view&id=134882 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I'm wondering how you managed to have an album in the gallery here when you're a new member and you normally need to have made five posts in order to make a gallery album. The door looks nice on the Tennyson; did you repaint it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what universe is Barbie scale the perfect height for a Tennyson? I'm reporting him as a spammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I think we're probably due for another forum security "upgrade" to prevent spammers from hijacking our gallery albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 This is a copy/paste of a post Shamrockgirl18 made in October: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/?app=forums&module=forums&controller=topic&id=42443 To what end, I'm not sure. Maybe to build up the account to look like it's real before they start spamming with it. Anyway, I'll take care of it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
