My partner decided he wanted to build a dollhouse for his niece for Christmas. I happened to be in a store which was liquidating its dollhouse inventory and managed to pick up a Brookwood kit for $20.00. The kit sat around for months, I even offered to Ebay it if he no longer wanted to build it. Sadly he did - and the panic set in on December 4th. Day 1 was pretty hectic but managed to get quite a bit done on the kit so far, then he realized that the front door on this kit is quite tiny. The door kits I had lying around were far too wide for the wall where the door is supposed to go, so the only option became bashing the kit (just to make things easier).
As a result, the front windows on the ground floor are now a set of double doors with side lights. We also managed to get the chimney assembled, paperclayed, painted, and some of the stucco completed! This is going to be a wild project if it's going to be done in time.
Good luck! How old is his neice?
ReplyDeleteShe is 8, so just old enough to play gentle, just young enough to implant some neurosis :)
