30 years old, and I have a DOLLHOUSE!

This Dollhouse is a 1979 that my Brother purchased as a gift for my Mother in the early 1980's (when I was born). My Mother worked away at it for a few years and then it eventually found it's way into the attic. Well 6 house and 30yrs later I pulled it from the barn and decided it's getting a reno. I'm happy to say this house has not be uninhabited for the duration of time, there was plenty of "evidence" of squatters. So after days of cleaning and carpet and wall paper removal I took these pictures. YES I said, AFTER cleaning I took these pictures (hard to believe hey?)







Yes I know this is not a hobby most people my age enjoy but crafts are in my blood, what more can I say.

***to date the house has had an exterior paint job, roof repair, siding completion, and partial interior paint job. I will be getting back to it soon and post pictures;o)
