Newbtodollhouse Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Howdy all , name is Bob and new to this stuff.. my wife is in the process of building a very large dollhouse we have had for well, actually don't know how many years, but it was in the basement since at least since 1994 , no idea of make or model but she has sucked me in taking on this adventure .. since there are no instructions or any information about the house its a scratch build seat of your pants kind of thing.. Seems to be a Country Farm house of sorts ...she has completed lots of the exterior she { or I } will post a few pics maybe someone out there knows who , what, the model is..I have searched and found nothing like it.. its not a laser cut kit or a tab slot thing.. she has made lots of the parts from popsicle sticks { flooring } etc... any how we are in NJ .. glad to be aboard.. right now I'm a spectator well { supervisor } lol .. but of course its all her's it is a fascinating hobby which I never realized was so intensive... she will be joining the forum later today.. learned a great deal already from everyone just reading ..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becky132 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hi bob I’m new to the doll house building process also. I have just bought a buttercup cottage from green leaf as my first ever project and have to say I’m surprised at how excited I am after searching Pinterest, instagram and this site Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoalaSam Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 This is a great house. I think the base house is a Brookshire by the Walmer company. I have a couple of these houses which I have been completely changing. If you click on my profile page and go to my "albums", you will see my bakery on the second page. Click on those photos and scroll down to see what it looked like originally. (Also, if you go to my blog, on the right hand side just scroll down to "labels" and you will see Brookshire. If you click on that, my other Brookshire comes up.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
