This beautiful doll's house measures 38" wide and 38" from the bottom to the top of the chimneys. I believe it was made in the mid 19th century. The exterior is hand painted. I have decided to sell this house. Please contact me at susansminihomes@gmail.com to inquire about purchasing this house.   A previous owner updated the interior at some point. The wallpaper looks like the type used in the 1970s. Three of the rooms have built in fireplaces.  The portico is beautifully done, but has accumulated a few scrapes and dings over the years. I am sure i ..read more

Deluxe Reading toys were sold in the 1950s–1970s in supermarkets.  One of the most successful toys for girls was the "Dream Kitchen" (circa 1961) which consisted of four 12-inch-tall colourful kitchen appliances, a kitchen table and four chairs. The 1/6th scale of the set made it perfect for Barbie. This toy was unique in that the sink worked with water, the oven had batteries to turn a plastic turkey on a spit inside. The refrigerator had pull-out shelves, and the dishwasher also worked with water. Included were scores of food boxes, cleaning supplies, food replica ..read more

It has wonderful graphics i ..read more

This is the after picture of the large vintage dollhouse I refurbished over the last few years. I have worked on it on and off since the summer of 2015. It is 1/12th scale, 46" tall, 17" wide. 26" wide. It looked like this when I got it. Someone had made a start on the siding, but didn't get very far. The shingles were a mess and the attic windows looked as if someone had glued something to them and later ripped it off. The house had been in a garage for years and I gave it a good cleaning. Some siding strips came with the house, but I had to buy more to complete it. While I worked my cat ..read more
