Shenandoah Log Cabin Dollhouse

Shenandoah Log Cabin Dollhouse
(DuraCraft)

This is the Shenandoah Log Cabin Dollhouse, kit was made by Dura Craft. This version is made of MDF, I do not like MDF. It is easy to work with but there is no way to make it look like wood.... and a Log Cabin should look like wood.! WE are still working on this one as well.... I don't think any of my houses are completely finished.! I always find something to do to them... The Front porch stone work and the Chimney on this are made from egg cartons.!!!

Westide Memories !! What do you remember ?

What do you Remember ?


I was born and raised on the west side of Columbus, Ohio. I have some great memories ! I lived in Lincoln village south. Lincoln village south is located on west broad street west of 270, on the south side of the road. The boundaries are west broad street, grener road to the east, old sullivant ave to the south and Redmond / hiler roads to the west.
This page is all about the westside of Columbus. History, past attractions, stores from the past. Memories of great times. A blast from the past.

Do you remember Zantigos restaurant ? I love the cheese chilito !
It was located on west broad street, in front of the old Kmart store.

Do you remember the drive in movies on west broad where the target store is now ?

Hilliard rome road is called "Rome hilliard road" by the folks that live nearby.

Do you remember the talking tree at Lazarus ?

Or the carousel in the jr bootery shoe store in the Lincoln village plaza, they had a "small door" and a regular sized door for their customers.

How about Moore's ice cream on the corner of norton and hall road, small white building, gravel lot.... And a line out the door every evening.



What do you remember ?
please share... I am also hoping to get photos of the old landmarks from around the area.

Queen Cast Iron Cook Stove

Wrestling season getting ready to start here in the next couple of months.... oldest son learning to drive and taking driving education... and myself working and decluttering our home and my craft room... I am beat by the end of the day... I will try to keep this blog updated on my progress with the decluttering of the craft room and my dollhouses..... I am also going to start going back to the gym in the next month. I miss it, and I felt so much better when I was working out.
