Okay, so it is a little dirty.Okay, so it's very dirty! lol ;)
But, it's mine, all Mine!
I hate to even touch it, but had to take some before pictures, before I got to cleaning it.I think it even has an occupant, a tiny spider...
Filthy dirty, damaged and crayoned on.
Who could ask for a more delightful thing. ;)

My assistant. :)So, there it is, my auction winning. Made of sturdy plywood, it appears to be handmade, from the fifties maybe? If anyone has any idea in regards to age, please post a comment.
This must have been sitting in someone's basement for a while, I'm itching to clean it up.
Hubby has graciously offered to wire it, after I told him he has to help me. ;) Needs a few repairs here and there possibly something around the front entry, like a little roof and a step, maybe some columns, one of those fancy things above the door.... and..... and..... and.... ;)

ReplyDeleteI think I am going to have to restrain myself with this one, it's going to have to be a Sunday afternoon only project, or I will never get anything else ever done.
(thinks of it longingly)
But, I do hope to document it all here on my blog, that will be the most fun, sharing it. :)

ReplyDeleteI'm green with envy!

ReplyDeleteHi! I found your blog from Small Stuff Digest. What a great dollhouse! I cannot wait to see what you do with it- it is beautiful right now! I'll be following along on your progress- nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! It is gorgeous. Such a treasure really. It has a couple of stories to tell already, so much more precious to have that dimension in your house too. Cannot wait to see the progress!
ReplyDeleteHello, Kim, nice to meet you, too. :) Wow, it suddenly occured to me, I wonder how long this will take! lol ;) I can dream really fast. ;)
ReplyDeleteHanna, that's why I love antiques and vintage and old stuff, it comes with a spirit and past life, making it more valuable to me. :)
I really want that one too. Hope you update as you work on it. I intend to update my blog with pics. of mine.
