The Childhood Dollhouse revamp

My dad built me a beautiful Victorian Farmhouse dollhouse when I was a child and we've together worked on it since. I wish I had some current photos, but I don't just yet. It has electricity, wallpaper, and two wrap-around balconies. No running water just yet ;P I just wanted to share our recent revamp to fix some of the things that broke over time and the stuff I never got around to doing after I moved out.

I retouching the old house pets that are a hodgepodge of what I think are Littlest Pet Shop, a Lassie figure, and a Golden Retriever figure.
Image
The unfinished shower to the master bath: "stained" (acrylic paint + water) and some tiny custom additions like the soap shelf and washcloth.
Image
Master bath corner tub that's been "stained" and various custom mini additions added on.

That's what I have so far to share. I'm really excited to be getting back into this section of the doll hobby! Hopefully this Wednesday I'll have actual dollhouse pictures to share.

Oooh, cool!
Is the golden retriever maybe one that came with a Barbie playset? It looks familiar.

They are all so old (like a decade) that I don't really remember. Got photos of the whole house!

Thanks! I want to add things in like shelves and decorations to the walls. My dad is talking about putting in trim around the windows too.
