Victorian Dollhouse

I'm excited to share with you this week my other dollhouse.  I found this house on Craig's List for $50.  It was assembled and the cedar shingles and the siding were already on it.  With the help of the owner of a local miniature shop, Mr. Bell, it turned out to be a beauty. He made all new porch railings since the original ones were missing and completely redid the windows.  It is painted a soft beige and the doors are a dark lavender.  (The picture makes the house look lavender and it isn't.)


Of course, there's a black cat on the front porch and a couple corgis in the house.

  5. I must say that the chicken of Verde Farm recommended some lovely blogs. Who'd have thought? I signed up to follow your blog immediately because you have things to share that I really love. And for various reasons don't have. I can't wait to take some time and look at everything.--Inger
