Last summer, on our annual visit to Topeka, I admired the dollhouse
at my aunt's house that her grandfather had made for her. I instantly
took pictures and emailed them to Donna, wondering if Larry would be
willing to create something similar for Laura. It was a simple,
straightforward design that used a few pieces of wood, some nails and
paint.
The next thing I knew, I was getting a flurry of
emails inquiring about desired scale, dimensions, and colors. Weeks
later I received photos of Larry at hobby shops and dollhouse aficionado
headquarters, where he secured items such as siding, shutters, window and door casings; and later hard at work in his garage - he dove into this
project with serious gusto!
The result is a
piece that I know Laura's granddaughters, like my aunt's, will be
playing with for years to come. In the meantime, though, all three of
our kids are putting it to good use!
