Farewell kaleidoscope house, welcome exciting new project...
ReplyDeleteIt's such a shame but just think of all the possibilities your new house will have. Well done for being brave and taking the plunge though, I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Best wishes

I'm excited to start on the new house. I need to carve out some time for construction, but looking forward to it. :D
DeleteOh how could you! Why not put it on Ebay, it would sell like a shot.... let another collector enjoy it. Nothing against kids, but they will wreck it in no time
ReplyDeleteI'm not ready to part with it. My kids actually had it for a year until I got the Emerson, then we switched. My son has been begging to have the KHouse back. They've managed to not break anything in the last 2 1/2 years they've been playing with them, and they know it's still "Mommy's Dollhouse" so I feel like it's in good hands. I'm reluctant to sell it because I fear somewhere down the line I'll regret it, and at that point it will take more than the $350 I paid for it to replace it.
DeleteAt least you will still have access to it and you can borrow it from the kids. They will most likely follow in your footsteps and set up creative rooms.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly. For now, decorating consists of sorting the Lilabo random pieces. I must have bought 2-3 sets of stuff on ebay, so they like to put all 4 bunk beds in one room. All 3 desks in one room. Kitchen and bathroom pieces (all white pieces) in one room. Chairs in another room and tables in the last. They don't like the dolls though. I've given them the Kaleidoscope Dollhouse people and the IKEA Lilabo dolls and the pretty much only like to drop them down the fireplace. Which is a total pain because you have to shake the house upside down to get the pieces out (I think I just made a bunch of collectors cringe).
DeleteLooking forward to a new house just as inviting as this one!
ReplyDeleteNow I just have to make the time. :D
DeleteI have to agree with Elbey =0/ I think you've broken a few dollhouse collectors hearts bowahahahah ;0)
ReplyDeleteI know, I know. But I think having my kids enjoy it, is better than it moving under a sheet in the garage. I have no plans to sell it; I'd always planned to give it to them anyway. I mean, how cool is it to have the most awesome dollhouse that none of your friends have?
DeleteBut then again if someone offered me $1,000 for it I may change my tune. :P
You're right of course. Who am I to tell you what to do with your mini houses? It's pure jealousy on my part, you realise =0D
Deletewell one door closes and another house enters your life, it's sad to see it go but you've learned all you can from it..time to move on to that Mid Century Modern that you've always wanted to build *oh wait that was me..sorry*

Genial!!!! es una maravilla!!!
ReplyDeleteRsb.
I have a used one for sale. Good condition. Unfortunately, the white has yellowed, but Brini Maxwell has the perfect solution! (There is a paste that can be used on white plastic that has yellowed - apparently it works.) I can be reached at rip shin at excite dot com, if anyone is interested. I have some of the furniture.
ReplyDeleteThat is "ripshin" - one word. Hate auto-spell correction.
ReplyDeletePlastic is good option for home decoration.
