    This week you swooped up the Barbie clothes, precious kewpie doll and now another doll house. You are like your one-eyed squirrel storing away projects for the winter. The Old Farmers Almanac has nothing on you. Thank you for taking us along.

    Dear Scott ; Years ago I found a metal doll house and snapped it up. Upon getting it home I realized it was my childhood dollhouse. The memories flooded back of all the hours spent playing with it and the wonderful times. Each room brought back to life how much I loved it and the feelings of having it to enjoy again. When I realized I had gone home , I burst into tears.

    i was 5 in 1943 when my dad went to the navy and we moved to a 3 story victorian rental -- there was a doll house in the attic they let me play with -- oh the joy -- likely the bad paint job here was done by the little girl -- i once painted a doll high chair red -- and said crying covered in red paint to my grandmother -- "dont ever ask me to paint anything ever again!" -- of course no one had

    Love this new dollhouse more than the other one because the wallpaper is just beautiful. Maybe the little girl that owned the dollhouse was the one that made the mess painting it. It is just a fabulous find. When I saw it in your shopping video I was hoping that you would buy it. Can't wait to see how you restore it. Thank you so much for sharing. It was so much fun.

    Wow! What a treasure! The staircase is spectacular, and finding both exterior doors is nothing short of miraculous. Aren’t you glad that there aren’t old vermin nests in this one like there were in the other dollhouse?! I’d remove the old Christmas lights and replace them with better wiring and some period-appropriate ceiling fixtures … but that’s just me. I like fantasizing that the roof was originally copper clad, and that like the Statue of Liberty, this grand old lady’s roof has oxidized to that lovely old green. I know it’s really just green wood, but I’m really good at playing make believe.

      Definitely. These old handmade dollhouses are really folk art. It's interesting to see how they're put together. The architectural style may be reflective of the house the family lived in. Some of the building materials, especially the wallpaper, many be remnants from the family house as well. My dollhouse is painted with the paint we found in the garage when we moved in the year before and the flooring in the kitchen is a remnant from under the sink in our real kitchen.

    OMG, Shut the Front Door!!! (and you can once you rehang it!) I am in love with this dollhouse! This one, as opposed to the other one that you're restoring, is very much 'up my Victorian street' because of the Second Empire architecture! You posed the question: "Was this actually from the 1880's and 'remolded' in the 1930's?" I think further exploration/excavation is needed before one can answer that question. Oh, and as a counterpoint to the phrase: "Everything but the kitchen sink" That does not apply to you or your truck, because, well... Scott, you're everything and the kitchen sink! I am so happy that you rescued this charming dollhouse! Thank you! 🥰

    I L💓VE that house. It definitely looks like a replica of the real house that the humans lived in at one time. You warm my ♥️ with the love and compassion you show for vintage and antiques. I love thinking about the history of something you buy, or have. What the person might have been like, as well as other things. After being with a relative earlier today. He thinks old things are haunted 🙄. When people pass away l believe they would prefer going up to Heaven. Then haunting👻 something they once owned .

    Hi Scott, I was so excited when I saw this in the previous video. Then as you gave us a hint, about maybe, I was jumping up and down, and I knew you were going to get it. It is as you said fabulous, I think the house was originally painted green and then someone (maybe the daughter) later wanted white trim. I'm sure you will find out down the road. Such a find, good luck and may it turn out to be something and collector would want. Jersey Ann from NJ 😉👏👏

    Oh, I love this! Now, if I had found it, I would be all into researching where I bought it, trying to find a family name. Then try to find out what little girl's daddy made it for her. Was it modeled after their own house? It's a sloppy paint job because some mommy gave her toy to her little girl, and the little girl decided the house needed a face lift. The little table you found that's in the other house belongs in this one! What a fun find to bring back to life.

    I love that house, especially the old wallpaper.. and the front door… and the roof.. and the staircase. I wonder if the person who made it had a little blueprint that he sent away for? Did you know that there’s a whole UA-cam community that creates dollhouses, or just room vignettes, to look old and decayed and decrepit? They make some pretty amazing things.

  • @jodidavis6595
    @jodidavis6595 8 місяців тому

    How exciting. Barbie and a doll house. I can’t wait to see this reconstruction you’ll do with this doll house. I can’t imagine doing such a cruddy paint job. But you’re just the man to make amends. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
    The top right corner of the linen closet you were trying to open, I think there’s a little spot where there a clump of paint keeping it from being able to be opened. I’d like to imagine the little girl who played with this and what she might have worn at the time.
    Also I think the open space at the concrete foundation is where you’d enter into the cellar 😃
