This blog chronicles my project of building Green Gables as a dollhouse. Green Gables, from the beloved children's book Anne of Green Gables, is a Victorian farmhouse on Canada's Prince Edward Island. It gets the name from its green windows and shutters. The Green Gables of the books was inspired by an actual farmhouse that belonged to author Lucy Maud Montgomery's relatives. She lived there herself and loved it. The house has been restored to "Anne"-time and is nowadays a tourist attraction.
I've been an avid Anne fan since I was a kid, and when I thought about what my dollhouse would be like, Green Gables seemed like a natural choice. My all-time favourite character, though, is Emily from Emily of New Moon (also by L.M.M), and I might well build New Moon next. I hope you enjoy following my project. Thanks for reading! :-)
