How on earth did I get this amazing Victorian dolls house in my house? **Read Description for update

**Update: This is my highest viewed video on my channel but due to copyright claims I had to erase the sound from much of this video. Please listen to the story at the beginning but if you would like to hear everything about the house during the tour check out my updated doll house video here: • Doll House Tour featur... It is also linked at the end of this video. My apologies. I appreciate you watching!
I am excited to show my Doll's house to you! Here I share my story of how I acquired this special, one of a kind, dolls house. See a full tour of the house and details of the provenance. How on earth did I get this into my house! Watch to the end to see pictures of the house decorated for Christmas and a picture of the creator and first owner of the house.

Amazing. Especially like how it opens from the front. Wonderful details. Loved the stove & China cabinet. Thanks for sharing it. Hope you have many years of enjoyment w/this special house.

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Thank you for your lovely comment! It is neat that every time you look at it you see something new. So many little details. 😊

[@beckychristian9327]

That is absolutely stunning! I know this is tacky to ask, but I’m dying to know how much you paid for it! Whatever you paid was worth it! I’m so happy for you! It’s beyond awesome.

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed seeing my doll house! (I paid $550) which I thought was a great deal.

[@donnaerickson3059]

Wow. It’s hard to find smaller dollhouses without decor at that price.

[@ophelian4646]

​@@CherishedDollFriends That was a bargain! I would've guessed the double.

[@CherishedDollFriends]

I agree. I felt it to be a good deal at the time. I still keep in touch with the family. Brooke is really enjoying her life in the country with her horse!

[@corinap.716]

That's exactly what I was asking myself. I wish that one day I would be able to buy a similar dollhouse or the same one cheaply

[@CherishedDollFriends]

I’m so happy you got the reference of the Friendly Giant! I grew up with that and was always charmed by the opening scene of the giant placing the chairs for the audience to curl up in. Thank you for watching!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

WHAT A LOVELY TREASURE!!! I LOVE HOW You Share about the previous owner and it's history! I Also appreciate how you loving explained about the contents of each room!! Thank you for sharing........

Hello where do you boughted this little mouse can you writte me where pls I appreciated youre answer

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Hello, thank you for watching. The only mouse is a miniature mini Mouse in the toy room. I'm afraid I don't know where it was purchased, since I am not the original owner. Have a lovely day!

[@mollymaisie9203]

Beautiful house but what puts me off with these sort of houses is no stairs anywhere!! How are they supposed to move around lol. Not realistic at all.

[@CherishedDollFriends]

I totally agree! That is my only complaint about this house. Apparently the lady who made the house made the decision to not have a staircase so she could have larger rooms to furnish. 😊 Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@rcelestefelix9299]

So beautiful! May you get much pleasure from your precious doll house. It is so unique and well designed. Such lovely furnishings and dolls, too. You have found yourself a real treasuresl

[@annemarie9271]

Well done with the video. Can I respectfully ask how much is this worth? How much did it cost? Want to find one like it. Love you named the dolls family members.

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Thank you so much. I paid $550 for this house with everything in it. It was a privilege to find this house and take it home to care for. I think the owners were happy to have someone appreciate it. :)

[@LLeyesNearsOpen]

Beautiful house..thought it was amazing that in the babys room, is an embroidered picture of a girl. This is a miniature copy of what my mother actually made for me that says, "My little girl"..

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Wow how neat that you recognized that picture that your Mom made you. Thanks for sharing. 🥰

I have that exact same, art deco lamp in my dollshouse... which also doesn't work!!

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Oh wow! I’m glad you spotted it. I am happy that many of the lights still work. I would love to see your doll house too😊

[@nataliewarren8202]

Oh WOW 🥰 something that I would love to have,Im a doll collecter too,I have to keep looking and the right dollshouse will find me when its supposed to be 😊

[@CherishedDollFriends]

I am sure the right doll house will appear for you. I had a smaller Victorian doll house several years ago and when I moved and downsized I sold it and was very sad I did. This was a replacement house. Bigger and better! :)

[@suzannewilliams3673]

Beautiful house , what a shame the owners didn't take their photos! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Yes I agree. I am still in touch with the family, so perhaps I will offer the pictures to them. Thanks for mentioning it, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video:)

[@CherishedDollFriends]

You are very welcome. I’m so happy you enjoyed seeing it. 😊

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Thank you for having a look. I suppose I could still add things to the house but I like the way it looks as it is too. 😊

[@lwilson123]

hi do you know where I can buy little girl doll please working on my doll house from Linda in scotland

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Hi Linda! I am in Canada. I am not sure where you would buy a little girl for your dollhouse in Scotland. Sometimes antique stores have them or doll house stores? Perhaps you could find one online. I was not the original owners of the dolls in my house so I am not sure where she got them. Thanks for watching!

[@lwilson123]

@@CherishedDollFriends thank you

[@treasuremedollsandcraft3162]

Absolutely love this house 😊

[@CherishedDollFriends]

I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching. I just did an update showing my mini American Girl dolls in it too!

I'm so glad this incredible dollhouse is in your care now!! It deserves to be well kept and shared with future generations.

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Thank you so much. It is a treasure and I enjoy looking at it every day. I appreciate your nice comment.

[@lisabolo26]

@@CherishedDollFriends It's interesting seeing your dollhouses with the closing fronts. We don't have those in U.S.

[@CherishedDollFriends]

This house was custom built by a lady and her brother. It is flat on the back and fits nicely against the wall. It is nice to have it open in the front for easy viewing and decorating. It was built in Canada. 🇨🇦☺️

[@CherishedDollFriends]

I am so glad you enjoyed seeing it and learning about its history. I do treasure it. 🥰

[@janealace]

It is so beautiful. Stunning.

It is cute with all the little details A work of art

It really is a work of art. I can't claim to be the artist, but I will look after it, so others can enjoy it.🥰

[@gracepark-pf1ks]

Wow only $550, did it come with all the furnishings?

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Yes, it came with everything you see plus extra boxes of supplies, Christmas decorations and more!
