Happily Ever After carries a wide variety of dollhouses and dollhouse kits.  We stock House That Jack Built and Real Good Toys kits.  We occassionally have other manufacturer's kits in stock, and can always order a kit from these companies if you wish: Tom's Mill, Sid Cooke Dollhouses, Greenleaf, and/or Corona.

Although we carry Greenleaf and Corona kits and find their designs to be adorable, we do not assemble these kits and rarely repair these dollhouses.  The cost of these kits is low, but the labor involved to assemble them is high.  Review and consider your dollhouse kit options fully when comparing pricing and the finished project you hope to achieve.

We also carry assembled houses by Alessio.  These houses offer a great starting point for your creativity and imagination, but are not available in kit form.  Pictures coming soon of the bungalow that we made into a beach house . . . .

Below is a brief description and helpful information about each company to help you make your decisions regarding what dollhouse or dollhouse kit you may want to purchase.

The House That Jack Built

The House That Jack Built dollhouses are available assembled and some of their houses are available as kits.  Like the other companies we consistently carry, The House That Jack Built uses 3/8” wood for a sturdy, lasting dollhouse.  Unlike the other dollhouse manufacturers, The House That Jack Built uses 3/8” plywood throughout the house (not just for the floors and/or exterior walls like other manufacturers) and their windows, doors, and railings come preassembled.  Most of their houses have the milled siding as well.  These are wonderful kits for a beginner to the hobby as the preassembled pieces are labor- and time-saving steps and there is little to be intimidated by when assembling.  Some people have even assembled the kits without looking at the instructions!

Real Good Toys - A Little Something for Everyone

Real Good Toys dollhouses are available in every price point either as kits, as Quick-Builds, or as pre-finished houses.  Several homes come in either plywood or in MDF (Warning: MDF has formaldehyde in it! Consider your wood choices carefully).  Be aware that some of Real Good Toys dollhouses use ¼” wood for some parts of the kit (such as the roof, some interior walls, and/or bases/first floor)!  Most of Real Good Toys dollhouses are available with milled siding.  Only a limited few kits offer the preassembled windows, doors and railings.  Most of the kits require you to assemble the windows and doors.  This does not take great skill, but it can be intimidating for first time builders and it will take longer to finish the kit assembly, but it keeps the cost of the kit lower than other manufacturers.  Real Good Toys has a wide variety of styles - we're sure you will find one that tickles your creativity and imagination!

The Colonial QuickBuild (below, left) assembles in roughly an hour according  to the manufacturer (we found 2 hours to be more realistic for a first-time builder).  Below, right, is the Hawthorne with a conservatory addition.  Assembling all those railings took quite some time - each spindle had to be glued into the top and bottom rail.  But the finished effect is impressive!

Tom's Mill - Not your average run of the mill dollhouse!

Tom’s Mill dollhouses come as kits.  Usually their kits do not include windows, doors or stairs.  However, a few, such as The Deerfield (no longer made, although we still have one kit left in stock!) may include the windows and door - ask if the kit you are considering includes everything before you buy!  The Tom’s Mill houses are a different style and look more unique than your “typical” dollhouse.  From the Medieval Castles and Manor Homes to the French Chateau to the Arts-and-Craft Bungalow or the Modern house, they have a kit for each style instead of just carrying the traditional "Victorian" dollhouse.  They use 3/8” wood as well.  They have been favoring a light-weight, 3/8” MDF wood for their some of the kits lately.  (Reminder: MDF has formaldehyde - be careful when sanding!)
