Thanks to feedback online, this process is now called 'Dollhouse Demo" in addition to "Dollhouse Reno" ;) Just wanted to update you on my progress this week:
Since moving into our new apartment a few weeks ago, I need to be working on this project like I need a hole in the head - basically this is the last thing I should be doing - yet I start each morning by working on this house and listening to the news.
Here's a recap of what I did this week:
- Dusted & cleaned the exterior
- Removed the window shutters for painting
- Removed most of the wallpaper from all eight rooms
-Discovered that the interior is painted white, which will make my life much easier!

| My mom sent me this picture this week - I was SO excited when I got this dollhouse on Christmas morning! Here you can see how it looked over 25 years ago! |
What do you think? Anyone else out there have an old dollhouse they would love to redo?
Don't forget to say hi below... comments are always appreciated!

so cute Ashley! I just got mine out of storage (it's not here yet, the storage unit is in CO so some friends are collecting it) - Dad made mine for Christmas circa 1978?? I'll never forget coming down and seeing the sun shining through those windows! (and 40 years later, there still are no shingles on 1/2 of the roof - he ran out of time and never finished - part of the charm, lol!) can't wait to see how yours turns out - need to plan my own reno! thanks for sharing the progress!
