A week ago, I teased you with a second dollhouse that came home with me from Allegan. As you can see, my newest plantation style dollhouse is HUGE!
It's a plantation-style Rich Toys dollhouse made in 1942.
It's now my birthday present from my parents. Thank you Mom and Dad!
It even came fully stocked with Nancy Forbes style furniture.
I've left all the original window treatments.
This is the living room.
The bathroom.
A bedroom
The master bedroom
The front entrance
The kitchen
For now, my Rich Toy plantation-style dollhouse is next to my Keystone dollhouse on top of my dining room hutch.
It's quite the stately neighborhood...wouldn't you agree? I've asked Chris to build me a special shelving unit for my growing collection as birthday present. Keep in mind that I have two other dollhouses in my craft room right now. Between you and me, I might have to do a bit of weeding for this shelving unit. Happy Playing!

Such a big house! Can't wait to see them all decorated up side by side! :) What a fun birthday gift too! Happy Tuesday! xox Holly
Beautiful! So nice that it still has all the items like doorknob, etc.! And the furnishings are so cute- lots of pieces I haven't seen before!! I'm sufficiently jealous (ha ha!), but my birthday's at the end of this month, and I've dropped a few hints about houses I'd like ;).
BTW, do you read "My Vintage Dollhouses" blog? She posted about an author looking for Rich houses to feature in an upcoming book. They're going to use one of mine- maybe one of yours is a style they don't have yet...
Wow, what an amazing doll house, Kim! You are right, it is huge! Maybe Chris should build an addition on your home, rather than just a shelving unit, for your growing collection:)
What fun! I know you'll love having a street...I mean shelf for your houses! I think I'd like to move into the plantation! lol
Aw, the perfect birthday present! ♥
Wow, how cute is that? Happy birthday! I had seen a dollhouse at the flea market, and had to restrain myself from buying it. I have so much stuff already, and really no where to put it. I have opted to just make a few little rooms from boxes. :)
Hugs,

Super birthday gift! I love the idea of having a row of magical places to live...you have quite a COLLECTION!
This is amazing...in such good condition and with all of the furniture, what a super find! They are all going to look so cute gathered on the shelf together...but you must leave room for a couple more. (-:
So cute and I love all the sweet furniture!! So glad the quilt fits the bed! ;) Happy playing!! xo Heather
So cute!! Love it!
What a great birthday present!! A true Antebellum!! Looks great on your other dollhouse!
She is a beauty! I've never seen one like this and to get the original furniture-WOW. I think they deserve a new shelf.
Oh, I love your dollhouse! I so love that you got it for yourself as a birthday present from your parents!
LOVE that too!
I love the insides! The furniture you have been lucky to find too! The curtains! Love it all!
Happy Birthday!
Kim,

What a beauty of a dollhouse! A great birthday present! xo Nellie
What a gorgeous dollhouse! Can't believe you found it with the original furnishings. What a terrific Birthday present.
About 20 years ago I went on a plantation homes tour and it was the beginning of a love affair. You are one lucky birthday girl , what glorious find!
What a great birthday gift! It is the perfect addition to your collection!
It's fun for me to watch you play! Oh - and I have to tell you how much I like your ccwboy party plans! Yippee-i-oh!
Looks like a pretty fine purchase . . . Both of the dollhouses are very nice.
Great birthday present . . . Enjoy a very Happy Birthday!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! :-)
An amazing birthday present no matter what your age! That's really a showplace!
