OUR FAMILY HEIRLOOM DOLLHOUSE

This special dollhouse was hand built by my husband’s maternal grandfather. Granddad John A. Stock gave it to his granddaughter (my husband’s sister) Karen Stark during the 1970’s. After she unexpectedly passed away few years ago, we are very grateful to have it as our family heirloom today.

Family heirloom is an important legacy, a link to our past. They help us understand our family’s history, culture, traditions and connect with those who came before us.

I would not change anything about this particular house… except for a fresh coat of white paint.

They’re ‘BEFORE’ photos – before I simply painted the exterior with a fresh coat of white paint.

Below is ‘AFTER’ photos after a fresh coat of white paint, yet I decorated it for the holidays. It’s always a showstopper at parties! A great conversational piece for our family and friends.

Gotta love nostalgic Christmas ornaments from Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth, MI! It’s my true inspiration.
