Although it isn't old, I found this halloween house in an antique shop last weekend. The halloween figurines that are in it were included with it, but I don't think they're original to the house. On the back is a box that turns on and you can hear moaning and screaming. I'm a total newbie to miniatures and dollhouses, so I don't have a clue where to start with it fixing it up and decorating it.

The first problem that I have is that I don't know what the scale is for the house. It isn't divided evenly by the shelf that's in it. The bottom part is about 6 1/4" tall and the top part is 7 3/4" tall. Can anyone tell me what scale I should be looking for in minis?

The corners of it are a little dinged up, but I'm thinking this could be covered by some landscaping plants. I think the outside of it is just printed paper and there is one place on the slanted side below the roof that has missing paper. I'm not sure how to repair this.

I know that I definitely want to put a widow's peak on the roof. I was thinking of possibly using some of the Lemax Spookytown fencing for it. I would really love to hear ideas or suggestions that any of you might have for the house! I've never tried posting photos here before, so I hope this works.
