The Lambert house was a house found at a thrift store. Alinia, who had seen me at Crestwood Mall called me to ask if she could bring this house into my studio to work on. "Of coarse," I told her! She was rather shocked because she did not buy the house from me. "That doesn't matter," I assured her.

This was an amazing and, to be honost, one of the funnest builds/remodels we have done. Alinia was one of the first of many builders that that would end up following a simular path. When Alinia first began work at McGhee's, she was hesitant about doing anything to the dollhouse without me right by her side, holding her hand and leading the way. I realized how much that had changed one day when she and I were working on her house. I had stepped away to help a family who came in for the first time. Moments later, another customer walked into the store. What did my timid customer do? She jumped up, walked straight to the customer and asked if she could help! Unbelievable! I know that customer was in good hands and I could continue with the family I was already with!

Take a look at the transformation of both Alinia and her dollhouse!
