The Librarian's Cottage
This sweet little house is the Haunted House Kit by Greenleaf. The way I acquired this little house was a lot of fun. During the holiday season 2005, Greenleaf had several contests on their community forum and I was one of the winners! I didn't stop happy-dancing for days after that! This was the third dollhouse that I ever built and it remains one of the favorites in my private collection.
This little house just didn't want to be haunted at all. It's such a sweet design that it wanted to be a cheerful cottage.......the home of Kathleen, the retired librarian. I did just a bit of bashing on this house. The exterior is done with magic masonry slate and the chimney and fireplace are my own stonework. I also left off the porch and created my own. This is the first house that I wired for electricity as well. A lot of the furnishings and fun things in the house have come from my friends on the Greenleaf Forum, so that makes this little house extra special.
