Montclair, 2005     SOLD


The Montclair was created from an RGT kit.  It is a massive house (approximately 39 1/2" W x 22"D X 36" H)
, but was comes apart in four sections so it could easily be moved.  Not attached to the main house are:  the two side wings (each approximately 12" W x 18" D X 31" H) and the circular porch (approximately 11 1/2" W x 5" D x 15 1/4" H) which are not attached to the main house. 
Picture
When I was building this house, my youngest son asked, "Where are you going to put this when you finish it?"  Good question!  I wasn't exactly sure.  The finished is almost 6 feet long!  I am not going to attach the side additions or the porch so I can move it around.  There was only one side addition available for this house.   The other side addition had a little patio.  Being a symmetry nut, I bought two of the same additions and built one as a mirror image of the other.  I had to tweak the angle of the roof to make it work.  The roof will be covered with miniature asphalt roofing.  It now fills one end of my dollhouse room.
Picture
The porch is also unattached.  I use textured spray paint on the foundation.

Interior View

The center portion of this house has a front hallway which cannot be seen through the doorways on each room.  Every room is very spacious.

Left Wing

This left wing addition contains two bedrooms and a den.  I made the elderly couple and my mom dressed them.

Notice the little house sitting against the wall?  It's a dollhouse for a dollhouse.  I made it from one I saw pictured in a miniature magazine.

3rd Floor Lilac Bedroom

The third floor lilac bedroom contains a little house made from reeds and the roof comes off.  I found it at a gas station market for $1!  My mom made the Raggedy Ann in the rocking chair.

2nd Floor Landing and Laundry/Bathroom
Picture
The front area is a bathroom,the only one in this large house.  The little duck broke off a soap holder in my bathroom.
Picture
Picture
Picture
I installed a partial wall to separate the laundry room from the bathroom.  The ironing board was a Christmas decoration that I found at a craft store.  I added the starch can.  It's actually an image printed from a computer and rolled to resemble a spray can.  The vacuum cleaner is a refrigerator magnet. The maid is a Peggy Nisbett Dolls House doll.
