A piece of my childhood...

This blog has a finished version of the dollhouse I had as a child, the "Van Buren" by Greenleaf.

My parents bought the kit and built it for me for Christmas when I was seven. We never got around to finishing it like the one in this blog- it was STOLEN when we moved from New York.

Greenleaf discontinued the kit years ago. They do make a miniature version- half the size of the original!

I'll settle for the mini. I don't have room for the big one!



I loved that dollhouse so much. I cried when I found out it had been stolen! The moving company reimbursed us, and Dad got me a new house...but it was totally different. I would love to have this one again, even in miniature form.
