I'm looking for a component kit for the Queen Anne Row House Dollhouse from American Craft Products...I know the company is no longer in business, but I was hoping to find someplace where I could purchase this component kit. Any advice or help that you can give me would be greatly appreciated.



Lois Replied:

I am truly unfamiliar with this product. But that is not a problem as I see it. Just something to ponder and investigate further.

When I did a small search of the terms "Queen Anne Row House Dollhouse from American Craft Products" some clues surfaced. I came to this website: http://www.emilymorganti.com/blog/?p=4984

If this is the house in question it has some excellent pictures. Maybe someone in your neighbourhood who is familiar with construction could create anything you lack in your design. Worth a try if you are wanting to complete it.

There are hobbyists who would love to reconstruct older dollhouses you just have to find them. So anyone who wishes can contact Jo at this email address: letiziajAToptonline.net

Question about American Craft Products Queen Anne Row House Dollhouse

by Jo
(New Jersey, USA)

Hi

I hope that you can give me some help. I am looking for Components to the Queen Anne Row House Dollhouse by American Craft Products –

I found this dollhouse in my basement, but it’s missing all the windows, doors and stairs.

I was able to purchase most of the windows, but I’m having a problem with finding anything like the Bay Window type structure in the picture below.

Also the normal miniature stairs found in most dollhouse shops just don’t fit in this house. And I would greatly appreciate any help any of you can give me in resolving this problem.

Where can I get a wooden Barbie Doll House already made?

by Carole Mraz
(United States)

Carole Mraz's Question:

Can I get a wooden Barbie doll house with large rooms for wooden furniture? Is there someone out there who makes houses such as these?


Lois' Reply:

Probably your best idea would be to obtain a plan. Or some more ideas from books and online resources.

Then with this info in hand find someone local with talent to help you construct what you want. Them being in your local area will dramatically reduce the costs of your structure. Freight costs will be non-existent this way.

It could be a process to find someone. However that can be all part of the adventure. If you think in terms of this process as an adventure you will have fun.

Actually I would start with people I knew were into woodworking projects of any kind. Those are the people who may love to do what you want done.

Be of course ready to pay them for their services. No one wants to work away at something for free. Usually they do not. Remember their time is as valuable as the dollhouse you want created.

Do your research before you approach someone. Then you will be able to tell them exactly how you see this structure coming together.

There is a truly interesting house on Amazon that would be worth getting someone to make. It can be found here:

This link needs to be copied and pasted into your web browser. The house illustrated is for fashion dolls and is one I have admired for years. Would love to put it on my dollhouse to do list for sure.

I am searching for a readymade dollhouse I saw in a catalog; however it was not typical

by Wendy
(Kansas City)

from the outside it looked like a two-story fully enclosed wooden painted dollhouse. But the facade opened directory to drawers (possibly for jewelry?) There were no rooms. I also faintly remember the roof opening and possibly other compartments, strictly for trinkets etc. It was yellow with shuttered windows and flower boxes. The catalog was not a dollhouse catalog but for a variety of home accessories. The price was in the $300's. This was at least 5+ years ago. Does anyone know of this type of dollhouse. It was being sold as new and not one of a kind.

Cabinet dollhouse

Hello, is there a name for a dollhouse that has doors like a cabinet? For example, I would love to find Deb Young's 1:48 Doll People house kit, I've included a picture. I would want to make one 1/12in scale and I'm lost trying to find the correct term for what I'm looking for. If you had any idea about this, or maybe where I could find Deb Young's model kit, I would be very grateful. Thank you!

Help finding a dollhouse

by Sheena
(Spokane, WA, USA)

I am trying to make a dollhouse for my American Girl Doll Minis. Unfortunately they are between 1:10-1:8 scale instead of the normal 1:12 scale. I was hoping maybe somebody would be able to let me know what brand and house might be a bit on the larger side of the 1:12 scale and possibly fit my dolls better. I am looking for something in the late Victorian Era. Thanks so much for your help!
