rodentraiser Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I voted that I didn't mind not having the traditional packaging greenleaf box etc... but that is only because I have my own supply of color pictures for reference. I have a confession to make... I collect color pictures of dollhouses and I think it has become a slight obsession. I'm even organized and have them in a notebook. I know... I could look them up in the gallery etc.... but I really like thumbing through the pictures that I have collected... kind of like a "catalog". I love to see how people have painted and decorated them so... one day I started printing them out... and now I have a huge book. Sometimes at night when I'm really tired and have worked on the dollhouse that day... I take the book and sit in my favorite chair and just flip through it and dream... I do the same thing! I try to get a front and back view and if there are any rooms decorated, at least one room picture too. I also started collecting pictures of real houses I like, plus their floor plans. Good thing I'm not rich enough to buy real houses or I'd have a million of them all over the place too. Right now I've got them all on photobucket in their own category. I love houses.

sommerstern7 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Tracy, maybe Im alone on this one, but I really like having the beautiful box with the doll house, especially when giving the kit as a gift, which I have done. I think that the box adds a classy touch to the product that it contains, and it kind of helps serve as a billboard when I am working on a house as a reminder of what my goal is that I am working toward. The papers included are always lost, buried, or covered in paint or glue; but the box...the box can be stood in a corner where you can see it and always find it.

Wolfie Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Are we ALL obsessed? Or perhaps possessed?! I too collect dollhouse pictures front and back, and furnished and even other people's dollhouse pictures as well. As for real houses? Only those I could imagine living in! I love to go over the "virtual Tours" of houses on the commputer as well. Doug says I'm a nut! I say it's better than drinking in bars!

LLyn M. Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well, I voted for the traditional Greenleaf packaging which has done well by me..never got any damaged goods. However, it is important to have clear instructions and a picture or two also.Very important! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda from the Bluegrass Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Are we ALL obsessed? Or perhaps possessed?! I too collect dollhouse pictures front and back, and furnished and even other people's dollhouse pictures as well. As for real houses? Yes we are (isn't it great???)! I have an entire shelf of CD-R's I've made with dollhouses I like. I have zillions of CD-R's I've made with miniatures I like, as well as printies, articles about minis, etc. . . And, in addition to all of those, I have some photo albums of the REALLY favorite houses I've come across. Aaah . . . right click is one of my best friends!

havanaholly Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Is it me, or does the packging lately seem a lot sturdier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
