This old doll house was made by my Grandfather many many years ago - I have many memories of this doll house - Grandma always kept it at her house out in her garage, and Sandi and I would play with it when we went over to her house. After she passed away earlier this year, Sandi and I decided to work together to fix it up so our kid could play with it. We opened it up and found a lot of dust, some cobwebs and wall paper and flooring that was falling off.
We decided to take it down to bare bones - the wood looks like it's in great shape. We took off all the wall paper, all the flooring, the roofing (which was just strips of sandpaper) and the old moldering curtains. Then we cleaned and sanded a bit, along with taking the old carpet off the stairs.
Really, it's already looking much better. Now we just need to decided what to do with the interior. We are thinking with the 50's feel of the doll house, that we should furnish it in like style. Right now the plan is to start with the master bedroom (top left room of the house.) We have also decided that we would like to lighten it up a lot!
