Please forgive me...

Please forgive me as there are alot of changes going on on my blog.  I am currently working on adding a google checkout online store to the site. I will be selling many quality dollhouse miniatures such as products from houseworks and Lee's Line.  Items can be purchased through my store or if you are looking for something specific that you do not see here, let me know and I will let you know if I can get it.

Again, I just want to apologize for the many changes you will see going on for the next few days.  I assure you all of these changes are going to be well worth it! Please let all of your "miniature" friends know about my site. 

I am getting back to work now. Enjoy!

An Old Dollhouse Is Finally Getting The Face Lift It Needs!!

An Old Dollhouse Finally Getting The Face Lift it needs!!

I have had this Allison Junior Dollhouse forever!! My dad gave it to me when I was preteen/early teenager.  We built it but not much came of it after that...  but I always kept it, it has been to 2 apartments and our new house. Then when my daughter was born I used it as a bookshelf in her bedroom. 

Within the last year I have suddenly got back into building dollhouses.  I bought a cheap house off of ebay and started from the ground up... its about 90% complete... but I have been learning on it.. So there are some things I am just not happy with about it....  Things that only another dollhouse collector would understand.

So, I was staring at my old Allison Jr Dollhouse in my daughters' bedroom and thought "how can such a beautiful dollhouse be left unfinished?".  So here my journey begins.  I want to put the best effort into this house and make it a house that doesnt only amaze family and friends, but a house that amazes me! 

Here is a pic of it in its current state.. I repainted the exterior but I am no where near done with it yet...

I am very happy with the main color of the house. Obviously, i LOVE purple :)  since my husband wont let me paint the exterior of our house purple Im going to make this house Purple. hehehe

I am at a loss as what to do with the shutters right now, but time will tell. I cant rush it.  I rushed with my last house and Im not truly happy with the results.  Once the exterior of this house is complete I am going to place it in our large bay window in our dining room. 

Anyway, here is a pic of my Allison Junior... if you notice, I am missing the "attic" on the very top, the pieces have been lost or thrown away through the years... I am hoping to get new pieces from Real good toys, but we'll see, Im not ready for that step yet anyway.

I also ripped out the old door that I had glued into place years ago and wanted to replace it with another door I had from my previous house...  Well.. the door frame I removed was taller then the one I have.. sooo either I have to fill in that space or buy a larger door. I look at many door sizes and they were all the same size, so I might have no choice but to fill in the space.. again, i am undecided right now.. But will make up my mind very soon!
