Vanessa Bought an Estate - Дворянское Гнездо


I picked up this dollhouse from craigslist.com for only thirty dollars. It's not that I don't have enough projects to work on but how could I resist? Would you?


More than that Vanessa's room box is too small for her. We will consider she bought an estate that requires a lot of work. She is happy!



I believe this house is called Southern Colonial?

Happy mining!

    Of course you couldn't say no, it looks like a very nice house. Enjoy renovating it, I am sure Vanessa must be happy to move from the roombox into a nice house :-), don't we all like a bit more space.

    $30? That is amazing! I need to check out Craigslist more often :)
    It is a beautiful home & I can't wait to see how you restore it.

    Thank you everyone for your nice comments!

    Elga, yes, Vanessa is happy. Now she is full of ideas of renovation. Oh she doesn't know yet what it takes to own and renovate such huge mansion by herself!

    Lisa, you never know what you can find on ctraigslist, lol... I don't go there too often and I guess I was lucky...

    Have a great weekend!

    Какой красивый дом. Это моя мечта! Мы только что с сынулей разглядывали Ваш домик и мечтали, чтобы мы сделали в нем, сколько каминов построили бы и какие лампы повесили. Эх! Мечта, мечта...

    Oh you absolutely had to buy that house! I love the way it has four rooms across the 1st floor. The bay windows, balcony and columns make an estate property for sure!

    Noone could ever have resisted such a find - for only 30 dollars! This will become a real estate for Vanessa - it will take some time but one day it will be stunning!
