Gramtlc Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hi! new to the doll house building. Have rehabilitated 3 different ones and I'm tired of fixing other peoples mistakes. Hope to start building one of the many kits I have collected soon. I'm hoping that this forum will help me avoid a lot of mistakes. Whoops, should actually introduce myself. I'm Terri and I live in the central valley of California. Terri in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbie4159 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 :o Hi Terri, glad to have you with us! Good for you about building one for yourself. There is a special pleasure building one for someone else, but mine has a special meaning to me/more enjoyment now that I'm building one just "for me". You came to the right place for info/advice/inspiration! Again, welcome! Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Welcome Terri! The forum is an absolute gold mine of information and the people here are just the friendliest and most helpful that anyone could hope to find. I think that without their help, I'd be building scrap heaps instead of houses. :o With all the rehab you've done on houses, I'm sure you've seen a lot of "creative enhancements" (ie: mistakes). It must take a great deal of invention to correct some of them. So which house among your kits are you going to start on first? Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniMadWoman Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hi Terri and welcome! I know what you mean about rehab . . . I've done that with my Beacon Hill (you can see it at the link below). Now I'm on to building my own and putting up with my own mistakes . . . which of course, there will be none! :o ;) Can't wait to see your pictures!

Gramtlc Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 I don't know if this is going to work. I haven't figured out how to use this forum yet. I did want to thank you for such a great welcome. Don't have any pics of the dollhouses I've done. They all went away with my grand daughter! The only pics I thought to take were of the dollhouse family that lives in the last one I did. After all, they had to have a family protrait to hang over the couch. I'm an ardent thrift store shopper and have picked up so many kits for under $15. The Ashley, The Bobbi, Sugar Plum Cottage, Brookfield, Allison, Glencroft, Tiffany, Greenleaf Village, and The huge Cambridge. I also have the Madison kit and 2 more dollhouse to rehab. Ones an old 70's style handmade house and the other is an Arthur, I believe. What I'm doing right now is rehabbing a wall hung cabinet and making it into a shappy chic style apt. for a friend. Thanks again for the warm welcome. Terri in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
