The dollhouse Dad built

Christmas 1974
Gotta love shingled roof, the damask wallpaper, and the shag carpet.
I love the colors & that my DAD built this amazing dollhouse
(for my sister, but that's beside the point).

Christmas 2009
Unfinished & awaiting the personal touches of the ladies in the house. We're so up for this task.
This pine dollhouse is about 5' tall, so us girls, mom included, can play with it at the same time.
There's even room for army men to come visit.
Made with love (& in about 2 days) by dad.
PS....Find the dollhouse plans HERE. We opted to omit the bottom drawer to enable more play space. We'll store all of the dolls and accessories in storage bins in the dollhouse.

So so fun. Nothing is better than homemade.

That's the great thing about doll houses! When the girls aren't ruling the roost, the army men can hang out...

Jane's b-day is coming up...I just might put in a request to the builder in our house. This is such a cute idea.

Nice! What a fun thing for the girls to share. And it's been fun reading about all your family fun & traditions.

Love the new Doll house. As for the old one. . . what are you doing playing in MY DOLL HOUSE????

I think that Wayne has inspired Matt. Mattie actually asked Santo for a dollhouse this year too, and we couldn't find one that we could afford. My mom did however find a princess castle house and she was happy with it. But I know that in her little heart and mind, she wanted a big dollhouse!
