Anyone know anything about DOLLS HOUSES?

[pucca]

Got a huge dolls house off freecycle today, have full intentions of doing it up, and restoring it, does anyone know anything about dolls houses? if so could you tell me roughly the age or what kind of style to decorate would be best?

Thanks in advance

My SIL does dolls houses up and she does it in 1800s style

dolls house emporium site looks like 1:12th scale house to me

Fab dolls house pucca, and did giggle at your LO crawling around on the ground floor. I think there are various websites and mags about doing up dolls houses, try Ebay?

wow!!!!....fab looking dolls house!!!

we have a dolls house shop near us, so I am sure most town do....can you do a google search for one that may be nearby????

C&H Fabrics do some great doll's house stuff, as does this brilliant shop based in Worthing
Ginny's Attic

I know its so cool i am like a little girl again, so excited!

Bless ds, he wanted to crawl in it, and its that big he could pretty much fit in the bottom.

I am even more excited as i cannot find anything like it on google or ebay, so it is quite unusual, and has the most fantastic staircase in it, i will add a pic now so you can see.

It looks great you can even buy wallpaper for dolls' houses!

that staircse is great!

That website is fab Misdee, have ordered the catalogue, i not sure where to start though really, seems pretty old to me, and i don't want to botch it up, think it would gorgeous fully restored though.

i think you should decide what yopu want each room to be. and work from the top down.

i might have some wallpapers here somewhere, will have a look in the morning.

have a look for 'doll house fairs' They are great for picking up bits.

Oh wow that staircase is incredible.

What a find!

I have loads of furniture, but I can't give it away, if you are after anything, I can sell them to you.

Thanks everyone, will keep me busy at least when the kids are in bed.

Shiny thats a good website too, dh will kill me lol.

Must admit i couldn't believe the staircase myself, it does have some internal doors missing but the lady i got it off gave me a bag which they are all in there, including the original front door and a roll of wallpaper.

She said it had been passed down 2 generations in her friends family, and she had intended to restore but never got around to it...how sad.
