Now what would a woman who collects dolls, character dolls have? A doll house of course! This was given to me by my Aunt, fully furnished. I am slowly replacing the new with older things. It's a work in progress. I have lights now I just have to wire them, and re-paper. Not shown here is my mini bisques I now have in there. I am also on the look out for any older doll house people.

I still have my dollhouse that I shared collecting things w/my mom. I'm 42 now and my daughter is 2. I can't wait to play again. Enjoy!
My Granddaughter is now 6 and I'm just going to start re-building one for her....Two words "Battery lights".....
It's been project of mine for awhile now, might as well go the whole nine yards with the electric. Sadly I have no girls so no one here takes an interest in most of my dolls.
Take heart ! I had three sons, then three grandsons.........and finally a grandaughter....and she's not spoiled at all :-)
I have this same dollhouse. It was made by Greenleaf. This company also makes add-ons for all their houses. I added hinges to the roof piece that fits over the attic side to allow better access to the attic. Dollhouses never go out of style and make great family heirlooms. Electricity make them even more special and unique. A nice table with a dollhouse on display is a great addition to a room.
Ive always wanted one but 7 kids in possible :)
Hoping one day.
