Dollhouse that is. I am currently working on one that my dad built for my daughter. It was given to her in 1991 for Christmas when she was 9 years old. When my ex and I divorced in 2004 I didn't have room for it, so he kept it stored in his garage. Some of the shingles are missing, but I have replacements. I'll be putting in all new carpet, and new furniture. It is a 3 story Victorian style dollhouse. It will probably end up staying at my house lol, unless she has a little girl, she's pregnant with her first and finds out tomorrow. If not, my other granddaughter will be able to play with it at my house when she gets a little older, she's only 2. I was wondering, have you ever built a dollhouse or owned one?

Of course when i was a little girl i had a doll house. Playes with that doll house for hours. It was a really big on and i remember it having so many little pieces. It has furniture and all that stuff too. It was great and i know it got used a lot till i grew up and wanted to play with other things.

I remember it being three stories and having a lot of pink on it. It was great and if i still had it im sure someone in my family could be using it.

My daughter played with this one for hours. I'll be building new furniture for it as some of the original furniture was in disrepair.

those are beautiful! i love doll houses and i always treasured the one that my grandfather made. when i got a little older, my mom turned into barbie condos which was fun too.

My dad signed and dated the bottom of it. There is a small removable roof on one room, I might sign and date the restoration of it when I get done. I'm just glad that basically it is in excellent shape, just needs a few minor things. And I take after my dad in being creative and loving things like this. Do you still have the one your grandfather made?

My mother bought and I built a doll house for my niece. When my brother moved to Colorado, I drove up and picked it up from Lewisville, Texas and brought it home. Its out in one of the sheds (the white one as a matter of fact.)

I just don't have a place to put it inside that would be safe.

I didn't have the chance to own a dollhouse in my childhood days, my parents couldn't afford it. :) But I did have a doll though lol!
Anyway, I loved giving dollhouses to my nieces and my friends daughters in the past months because of the beautiful designs. Now that I have my own 3-year old daughter, I haven't bought her one yet. Maybe it's because there are so many small pieces that might not yet be suitable for her young age. Come to think of it, maybe I'll try and check out the department store to find one that may fit her.
Sorry I think I wasn't a great help ey? lol
But I think that dollhouse of yours is quite a sight - just by judging at your description... Good luck!!!

Thank you, I'll have to post a picture of it soon. My granddaughter is only 2, a bit too young for this dollhouse, like you said with all the small parts and pieces.

Hi,

Good day!

When I was still a kid my youngest sister, cousin and I love to play with our doll house. Aside from the doll house we also had a tree house built by my father for us. It was fun playing there with our dolls. Aside from playing with our dolls we would also pretend to cook and then prepare meals. We sometimes invite our neighbours who were of the same age as ours. We would prepare a tea party inside our tree house.

The treehouse is no longer there when I went home during summer vacation when I was still in College. The tree was already cut down due to it's very old age. However, the memories and fun we had lingers.


myLot reputation of 98/100. palonghorn (4211)   ranked 34 out of 137 in crafting  2 years ago

Sounds like you have great memories. It is still kinda sad that the tree had to be cut down.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Ladyslipper (899)   ranked 80 out of 137 in crafting  2 years ago

Hi,

Good day!

It was really sad that the tree had to be cut down especially that I spent a lot of good childhood memories in that Tree House. I feel nostalgic whenever I go home especially that I no longer see my cousins, brother and even sister are also all working in different towns now.

We no longer have much time to see each other. Only Mom and Dad are left in that old house. It has been built way back 1973. The old tree had to be cut down in accordance with our City Ordinance. We have a city ordinance where all trees considered dangerous due to old age has to be cut down. It was because there was one incident just in our neighborhood where two cyclists were killed by accident when one of the oldest tree (pine tree) in our neighborhood collapsed. The tree was near the road. Those were two young boys in their late teens who were just passing by riding a bicycle. It was sad. I still remember that three. It was the tallest and most beautiful tree in our neighborhood. I can't imagine that it will be the caused of the death of two young boys. :(

I would like to see this house Palong.

What a beautiful thing it must be.

I wish you would post a pic of it one day.

No I have not built a dollhouse or any house, but it is a dream of mine to do so.


myLot reputation of 98/100. palonghorn (4211)   ranked 34 out of 137 in crafting  2 years ago

I'll try to get a pic posted today. I was looking online for supplies for it, and they have soooo much neat stuff. You can even run tiny electicity in them now and they have lamps and ceiling lights that actually work.

Thank you. My dad put endless hours into building it for my oldest daughter. And my youngest played with it when she was old enough, and now my granddaughter. A true family heirloom. But like I said I have a little work to do on from it being stored. And found out today.....it will be staying at my house, my oldest is having a boy!
