| Sophie finally has her own home. Can you see how happy she is?! |
When I was online recently, I happened upon a dollhouse for sale. It looked a lot like the kit I was going to build, but it already had real siding, working glass windows and doors, stairways, wallpaper, hardwood floors--the works! The dollhouse, made from a Celerity Lady Emily dollhouse kit, included a house full of furniture too! The whole lot only cost a little bit more than the dollhouse kit I received for Christmas, which was already very reasonable. Wow! Something I could afford, and it was already pre-built--woohoo!

I know not all of you are like me in this way, but shingling a roof sounds like drudgery when all I want to do is start decorating and setting up my mini scenes and stories! So this house sounded perfect to me. Then when I saw the house, I was floored, because it was decorated so beautifully. The builder had wonderful taste in wallpaper and paint colors and had added gorgeous hardwood floors, wainscoting, trim, and doors.

Not only that, the furniture was in impeccable condition, and there were tons of cute accessories too. That first evening, after I got the house home, I could hardly sleep I was so thrilled! Acquiring this house is a dream come true for me.

| Here's the first half of the furniture and accessories... |
So what happened to the dollhouse kit that hubby gave me? I still had time to return it to Home Depot, but my friend Sheri wanted to buy the kit from me, so I sold it to her instead of returning it, and everyone was happy!
 |
| ...and here's the second half of the furniture and accessories. |
I'll show you more about this new house in future posts. I'll be decorating it for a while, no doubt. In the meantime, there will be stories in Sophie's new house with updates as I go along.

| Sophie finally has her own bed! Looks like she'll share it with Luna too! |

ReplyDeleteOh got me all excited too! Had to go and have a peek in my half finished dolls house. Love your dollshouse find and all the furniture, and so drawn to that tiny weeny granny square blanket over the couch!!! Look forward to future posts, enjoy :-) Pam
ReplyDeleteoh wow how exciting! And what a lot of lovely furniture!
ReplyDeletei have to say I am right there with you about finding the building/outside decorating a bit of a chore to get through. I'd much rather concentrate on making things look pretty inside! Think that's why I've left it so long to get round to decorating my castle...
Nice find. Lots of great furniture pieces also.
ReplyDeleteFlutterby says he's still the most happiest flutterybeary in the whole wide world, but Sophie might be the most happiest felted beary ever! I agree with him - what a find! It's a beautiful house with so many possibilities, it's saving you loads of annoying work and with all this furniture and accessoires it looks like a bargain. Congratulations - I'm looking forward to all the stories about Sophie and her home that will come!
