Jim and Teresa bought it for Claire, and assembled the body of the house when they were visiting earlier this summer. After they left, I finished up the gluing (not a nail was used in the whole construction), stained the roof, and last night I finished painting the exterior. Even on a doll house a fresh coat of paint makes all the difference.
I enjoyed picking out possible color combinations with Colorsmart at Behr.com. I think I had about five possibilities that I showed Claire, but once she saw there was a purple option she didn't consider anything else. And then last night as I did the final touch-ups, she sat back and said, "This is exactly what I wanted!"

Wow, that is awesome! With the experienced you've gained you could probably become a contractor!
Did you have to wire the mini ceiling fans? :)
Ha! You joke, but you actually CAN buy kits to wire these houses with electricity. Little tiny lamps that plug into little tiny outlets and everything (kind of moves a doll house into a 'look but don't touch' category to me). Not sure about ceiling fans, but I'm sure we could handle it!
Your next project, then!
Beautiful! The house looks awesome. Great work.
