So here it is - ready to be delivered to its new owners very soon :)
Remember to click on the pics to enlarge
The little bear at the foot of the bed was made by my cousin Lillian - it should be holding a striped lollipop which I put in a 'really safe place' so it wouldn't get lost but now I can't find it - I'm sure it will turn up again soon :)
Fortunately both of the new owners' names being with "A".
I knitted the little doll ages ago, now she has a home :)
Fimo fairy and bunny by Lillian.
Master bedroom needs a set of drawers or wardrobe to complete it.

Just to remind you how the house looked when I rescued it from being thrown into the garbage truck...
When I picked it up it had flooring and internal partitions, I had pulled them out to make cleaning easier before taking this pic. They were strengthened before being put back in and another partition installed in the top floor to make the bathroom and hallway space.
Well, it wasn't impossible but it certainly wasn't without it's challenges and it would have been much easier and quicker to have started a new house from scratch. Still, there is some satisfaction in having 'rescued' this previously well loved little house for its new owners to enjoy.

Congratulations, Norma, on a job well done. I think you deserve a medal! Those girls will be so happy! I love that little doll you knitted. Was she from a kit by Helen Cox from bitsbobuy? Because I have a similar kit that I will soon be knitting.
Thanks Lucille :)
The little doll is made using 1 ply tapestry wool from a pattern in the book "Doll's House Needlecrafts" by Venus Dodge. This is a great book that I'd recommend as it's got lots of projects for furniture and furnishings as well as clothing and household accessories. It covers knitting, sewing and embroidery projects as well as various baskets using moulded tapestry canvas.
Every little girls dream....I am sure she will be so excited to receive it....well done Norma!!!!!
I love the natural lighting coming in the windows. From the right angle you almost forget that you are looking at a miniature house.
What a difference! You have done a wonderful job Norma. I love the colours you have used. I am sure this will be a much loved house!
quels changements. Belle rénovation de cette petite maison
un petit miracle ;-))

Wow, Norma! You've done a fabulous job of the renovations. I'm sure the new owners will love it =0)
Wonderful job!
Norma you've done a really great thing! it's great that you saved the house,
otherwise, the house perished with the rest of the garbage! but now has its wonderful appearance. I imagine how long it took you to this project but it was worth it!
A tiny teddy bear is so cute, your cousin has a great talent!
I really like the smallest house on a windowsill, a pity that the picture is from a distance.
Hugs:o)

This is so adorable, Norma! What little girl wouldn't love it?! I'm so glad you rescued that house. The result is fantastic! :-) Jennifer
Norma, thanks so much for the name of that book. It sounds so interesting. Now, I must absolutely have it. So, I'm heading for Amazon. I have such a soft spot when it comes to books!
I love the way you have a pink and blue room mirroring each other. It looks splendid. Such whimsy! I also love the color of the kitchen. This house is all cuteness. Terrific job!
hugs
