Little House on the Prairie (Little House, No 2)

Little House on the Prairie (Little House, No 2)Little House on the Prairie: "Meet Laura Ingalls, the little girl who would grow up to write the Little House books. Pa Ingalls decides to sell the little log house, and the family sets out for Indian country! They travel from Wisconsin to Kansas, and there, finally, Pa builds their little house on the prairie. Sometimes farm life is difficult, even dangerous, but Laura and her family are kept busy and are happy with the promise of their new life on the prairie." "On the Banks of Plum Creek:" "Laura's family's first home in Minnesota is made of sod, but Pa builds a clean new house made of sawed lumber beside Plum Creek. The money for materials will come from their first wheat crop. Then, just before the wheat is ready to harvest, a strange glittering cloud fills the sky, blocking out the sun. Soon millions of grasshoppers cover the field and everything on the farm. In a week's time, there is no wheat crop left at all." [Excerpts from back covers' notes.]

Barbie houses are not very common to begin with, a Victorian style Barbie doll house is RARE. This would be the gift of a lifetime for a young daughter or granddaughter. We have worked about a dozen more photos throughout the plan that may help in sub-assembly building. Paint chart not included, you can decide what paints to use.

This amazing project is the ultimate dream home for young and young-at-heart Barbie doll collectors. This woodworking plan will guide the woodworker through all steps of the building process. The rear of the house is open for full access to seven spacious Victorian rooms ready for decorating just as Queen Victoria may have done herself! In the near future we will be developing woodworking plans for doll sized Victorian furniture. The spaces include a parlor, kitchen, bath, bedroom and childrens playroom. The dormer windows add architectural interest inside and out. The first floor turret is enclosed and accessible from the inside. The second floor turret is open with access from the upper porch. Other options which you have a choice in building include grid work around the base and two styles of bay windows. Also included is information for making replica stained glass windows. There is even a plan included for the display table the doll house is set up on. The majority of the pieces are drawn full scale. Basically, those that can fit on the 11 x 17 inch paper stock. The house walls and some of the larger features are scaled down with dimensions and angles shown but all the gingerbread, shingle and molding patterns and other trim are mostly full size images.
