My daughter has inherited my old childhood doll house. And I am thrilled that she loves it as much as I did when I was younger. My Dad gave my sister and I this house when we were younger, probably my daughters age. He bought it from and older gentleman who put it together from a kit. My father then added his own touches. He added the shingles, the shutters and installed a custom kitchen.
It has had a hard life, but I am glad to be able to take it in and give it some new life.
When I inherited it, 4 years a go, it had been spray painted hunter green. Yes, all of it. It had been used on a parade float. I cleaned it up and gave it the colors you see here.
However, with 4 years of play, it has gotten a bit banged up. And since my daughter is getting a whole new color scheme for her bedroom, why not go ahead and update her dolls house as well.
So that is what I am doing. I don't have any
after pictures yet, you will have to check back for that.

How cute!! I have my dollhouse from my childhood as well. I plan to clean it up and give it a new paint job someday. Hopefully, I'll have a little girl down the road to pass it along to. :) I can't wait to see the afters!
ReplyDeleteEven if you don't have a daughter- clean it up and display it. I am wondering how I get to keep this one after she outgrows it :)
