Tracy, I love your blog. It's so much fun looking at the vintage/ antique toys!! And I love that cocoanut dollhouse!!

What a treat!! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for all your kind comments! It's been fun doing the blog and getting to share the things I love with other people.
I've just added a piece of 1890s "Fairy Furniture", but haven't got anymore dollhouse food up yet. Still working on it!

Here's mine. I posted this at the doll board last year, but at that time the attic wasn't furnished yet. It's not yet complete, though. I still plan to add some accessories when I find the time to make them.

Hi all. This is a really neat thread. I am very jealous of all of your dollhouses!!! Such great furnishings & detail you all have in your houses!! I have 2 older dollhouses that I bought at an auction. One was already furnished & the other needed a great deal of renovating. That was a fun project. I went to an auction a while back & bought 3 Holweck dollhouse kits that were from a store which closed in the early 1980's. I was going to sell them since the company is no longer in business & I thought they may sell good. But I decided to try my hand at building one. I also gave one to my nephew to make for his new baby. My house isn't anywhere near finished yet & is quite a task but I am posting a few photos of the "beginning" of it. I hope that it turns out to be half as beautiful as some of yours. My daughter recently moved out to go to College so I decided a 3rd house would look great in her old room. We have renamed that room the Dollhouse Room as I am going to put all of my houses in there.




My daughter always wanted a purple bedroom so I am going bold & making her one. LOL

Fanelia, I remember you posting your lovely house on the doll board, and I am very glad you came here to show an update! Good job on the attic room, I love the teenagers arm wrestling :^O

Ptruckin' Ohhh, I just redid my eldests' room in Jan so that I finally had a dollroom, but I had to give up LOTS of "dolly space" to make room for my houses. My youngest is 22, but shows no signs of wanting a place of his own ;) Lucky you AND your daughter. I would think decorating her room with dollhouses will be nice for her to visit in the future, and nice for you now! Please show us updates often, I would love to see how that beautiful house evolves.






If you don't have a sense of humor, you probably don't have any sense at all.

Thank you. I will post more photos as I get parts done. This is my largest house measuring 42 1/2" tall! So I am glad that I have a space of my own to display my homes. If this one goes well I still have one more kit that I could add to the "neighborhood" of homes that I am acquiring. I should probably sell it as these kits go well since the company was so short lived but I am not sure. I like enjoying them so I am thinking it would be another great addition. Thanks again. Toni

The Michaels near me doesnt sell dollhouse stuff, but A.C Moore does.
they are over priced though, so most of my stuff comes from ebay :)

MUSTBESICK love what you have done with your house!! What a come back. Way to go! I don't know what to do with flooring for my house and I see you use the same flooring I have been going back and forth on. I like the flooring. Think I'm sold on it now after see how great it looks in your house. I just discovered this site or blog the other day. Hurray!
I posted my house under DISCONTINUED DOLLHOUSE. It two story with a tower. Yellow with white trim. Almost done with the outside. I'll have to post it here. I just have to show off a little. I'm so proud of it.
The house on this site are awsome. I feel like I'm peeking into to peoples homes.

Don't know if you will get this. Your pic feel like home. My great Aunt and Uncle had a huge dairy farm in WI and your house feels just like theirs.
PS. I'm not from the 50's.

What a great house Dale, and a very fun blog site!
I signed on as a follower, there's just so much there to explore, I know I will enjoy it.

Oh my, I thought the windows were latticed, and had to laugh at myself! You are going to have SO much fun, I am looking forward to your progress, & checking out your hand made offerings.

What a fabulous dollhouse, Dales!!!
It's so charming!

One caution though... be SURE to remove ALL the mold (that is mold, right?) from the walls, floors, etc, before you paint or do any other work on it. If you don't completely remove it, it could come right back through the paint or paper.

And don't forget to wear a face mask and eye protection while you're cleaning it off.

After THAT.. have FUN and keep us updated, ok?

It's going to be adorable with some of those lovely rugs and other creations you do.

:)

but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
