Life in the Dream House

Reese and Quincy asked for a Barbie sized dollhouse for Christmas. Thinking that we already have little dollhouses and another was expensive and unnecessary, Santa did not deliver. Reese was crushed, but eventually got over the disappointment and the girls continued to  improvise houses for their barbies. 
Yesterday, I saw this dollhouse for sale online and knew they'd love it. The listing said it was tall enough to fit Barbie dolls. And the price? Fifteen dollars. 
I called them over to the laptop and showed them the pics. 
"Can we buy this?!" They begged, and then ran upstairs and returned with $7.50 each from their piggy banks. 
Aaron picked it up early this morning and the owners are proud as can be. 

It is enormous. I don't know why I expected any different since the seller provided me with dimensions. It's solid pine and I couldn't have built it for $15. I can't help but share their excitement. Hello hardwood floors and wallpaper? Paint! Mini wood furniture! Tiny wainscot and board and batten! Fun projects ahead.
