While owning and operating Jeepers Dollhouse Miniatures, I also enjoy creating and designing miniatures. I specifically love working with fabrics; making bedding and window dressings. In addition to typical store operations I also build, electrify, remodel, renovate and restore dollhouses for customers. I created Dollhouse Renovations so readers can watch the progress in my restoration of various dollhouses.

The Smiley is Actually...
For the record, I should mention that although I am referring to this house as "The Smiley" it is actually a Dura-Craft (VH600) Victorian dollhouse. (Thanks for the info Lori!) The Dura-Craft dollhouses are no longer in production, and while you can still find some of the kits around be careful because if any parts are missing you will need to manufacture them. Fortunately, with the exception of the front porch steps and handrail, this house is complete and intact. The other issue with the Dura-Craft dollhouse kits is that the manufacturer used thin, low quality woods that tend to make wiring and finishing more challenging than some of the other kits available on the market today. Contact your local dollhouse and miniature shop for suggestions when selecting the perfect new dollhouse kit or preassembled dollhouse for you and/or your family.
