The Christmas Doll House

I may be behind on decorating my house for Christmas, but I did get the dollhouse decorated on time! My granddaughter checks to make sure the elves are on the job after Thanksgiving- and they were! 

First, a word on the dollhouse. It was built in the late 1970's by my father in-law as a gift for my sister in-law. She allowed her young daughter to play with it, hence the missing bannisters. She had invited my son over, when he first bought his house, to go through her garage furniture before donating it and offered him the house if any of his friends had children.  He remembered his grampa had made it and brought it here. This did not make her happy. 

Regardless. I will say that taking photos made me notice the general shabbiness and I really need to make time for another remodeling project (after he finishes the bathroom). 

Here are some reindeer reading maps and watching the weather channel.  

These elves are all Hallmark ornaments from the 90's. I got them on eBay when things were inexpensive on eBay. 

There are two kitchen areas. Because I like kitchen accessories. 

And the last room. 

And that's it for the dollhouse. Santa needs an upgrade!

The dollhouse lives in my bedroom, on top of my double dresser. I ordered it with no mirror when I had the Amish build it with this in mind. It is almost four feet wide. 

And . . . . I put up the tree! I stayed up very late on Sunday and just made up my mind to do it. And . . . . . because I am even crazier than you can imagine, I put up a second tree. 

You may remember my husband found 7 trees in storage.  I told him to put the others back.  There can be too much of a good thing.
