Elsbeth Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I think it's a very cute house - I really like the two fireplaces. It could be a very charming little colonial space-saver. I think I'm going to get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I am going to get it too but not this weekend. Save me one Dean! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 What style would you say this house is? At first I thought "colonial" - but only because George Washington was on the brain. I can't really tell what (if any) style it is. Anyone have any guesses? It's cute. I wish they'd do a Jefferson 2.0! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommymakesStuff Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 When the first pic came up where it was all stained brown my daughter said it looked like a cukoo clock. And then I imagined pinnocchio sleeping upstairs with the blue fairy over his bed and Gepetto downstairs asleep over a stack of toys. But that's just my crazy head. Besides I have a disney ornament set screaming to be seen more than just on christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A & A Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 i think it is a very cute looking house. would be fun to decorate with the built in fireplaces and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I think two Washingtons kitbashed together could be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Now Greg, that sounds like a VERY cool idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I found it!! I knew this house reminded me of something! Check it out.... The Washington: And the house from the movie, "A Christmas Story": Now wouldn't that just be a fun mini to do!! I've even seen the leg lamp in mini at various online stores.

chesterfieldzoo Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 That is an uncanny likeness to the christmas story house. Well my first one said it wanted to be a haunted house (plus I didn't have the experience or knowledge to repair the damage from its first owner). I hear one calling me now and saying it wants to be another fantasy house or fairy tale house. Maybe add more gingerbread and make it a victorian style cottage. Who knows. So many ideas.

smallhouset Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Just ordered mine. Thanks Dean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Well my first one said it wanted to be a haunted house. I hear one calling me now and saying it wants to be a farmhouse. The best words in the world are "Get two". :lol: Does this mean that we'll be looking forward to double the eye candy from you? Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Deb that is a great idea! Get some hound dogs, Christmas tree, pink bunny suit, Big radio, soot coming up from the furnace, and dont forget the all important Red Ryder BB gun! A real authentic 1940s house. Every time i watch that movie I sometimes think about my mother. She was a 1940s housewife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuppa-Tea Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 It makes me think of a Depression-era farmhouse. I love the kit, it's very nostalgic! I love "A Christmas Story" too since it was filmed in my hometown of Cleveland OH and the opening shots of the Terminal Tower, Public Square and the old Higbees department store are a blast from the past, as is the scene where the mom is bundling the kid up in the snowsuit and scarf, and when she's done he can't put his arms down. I always laugh at that scene! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 hear one calling me now and saying it wants to be another fantasy house or fairy tale house.I've heard one telling me it wants to come home with me to let me play with it, and so far it's murmuring fairy tales at me.

justmesue Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 It made me think of "Little House on the Prairie" when I bought one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beccas1963 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Yes it sort of reminded me of the blind school in little house in teh prairie BEc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 If I didn't already have this house i'd snatch one up really quickly right now! It's a great price especially with the free shipping! I'm thinking about getting one from Greenleaf tho sometime soon, it's a cute house with so many possibilites and the price is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anette Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I want it!! It's so cute. Looks like I have my summer project! Now I just have to get paid so I can get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missymew Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I've ordered mine too!!! Deb, you're absolutely right ... that's what the Washington reminded me of too....the Christmas Story House. Thanks for helping me connect the dots!!!! -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogster Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I'll be getting one no doubt, these re-issues are too cool. Don't know what it'll be. Farie house? Doesn't remind me of Pan's Labyrinth.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 It's sooooooooo cool to hear so many people saying they're getting this house and hear the ideas for building it. I'm really looking forward to the eye candy as we start building them. I was looking at it again tonight and it occured to me that I know a little girl who seriously needs a dollhouse and I think I'll build this one for her. I gotta talk to her Gramma to make sure her Dad has space for it, but it has such a neat and tidy footprint (20x15), that it would fit nicely into even a small space. Christin is 9 years old and I think this would be a perfect starter dollhouse for her. Not too big.....not too small...........just right. Kathy (her Gramma) is coming up this weekend, so we can plan it's decor and style while she's here. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 For whatever reason it reminds me of Red Ridinghood's grannie's house, or that of the three bears. I didn't even think of the Christmas story, since I've never watched enough of the movie to remember any of it (except the little brother in the snowsuit & the "triple-dog-dare" with the cops & teachers trying to get the kid's tongue unstuck).

Nancy in Renton Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I ordered mine, too. I thought it was a perfect house for building my first dollhouse. I am attracted to it for the size and small footprint. I also was born on George Washington's birthday so felt the pull to order it. I have had several kits, but haven't built one yet. This one I will! I'm ready to get started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
