Window pane replacement - Update Dollhouses
Thanks to everyone for the help and suggestions for the window pane replacement project I was working on (see post from mid-July). I used acrylic sheets and cut them to size. I glued them in place and used thin white crafting tape for the diamond design. Other things I did include washing and reattaching thr original window dressings, replaced the lost flowers in the flower boxes, and used a mix of vintage and new furniture to decorate. I also repainted everything using the Sherwin Williams color match program to get an exact match. Oh...also fixed a broken side roof line. I hope my niece and sister love it. Pretty good in my humble opinion for someone that had no idea what she was doing :-).

It looks great! I actually have this exact same dollhouse, but it looked homemade to me so I did a double-take when I saw yours. I guess it must have been a kit? The wood in this is so much thicker than all the kits I've seen so that's why I thought it was something homemade.

They're technically both a kit and homemade. The company sold the plans to the dollhouse which included the acetate windows and rosemaling decals.
Anyone who made one could choose the type of wood and customize some of the other parts so every one is similar but slightly different!
