I know I am responding to an old post, but I belong to several Yahoo doll groups. There is a wealth of information in those groups. But a break like that can be fixed but I am fortunate enough to have a doll lady about 30 min from me. Some things I can fix, but for others,.,,,,,,,,,. Good luck. Rosie

i have a 1960's bride pattern - email me with 1960's pattern in memo and i will send to you - i am sure it is the same one debbie

Removing chain link fencing is one good way to update it! Remove shutters. Paint the house create a defined entrance, removing the old entrance overhang and columns. A Metal roof would also be good. Be sure to check out your local Habitat For Humanity Re- store. note: cracking brick could mean foundation problems or something structural. Think Katrina Cottages

The only thing I dislike about the colors is that garish green around the roof I would paint that to match the gutters IMO it is not something you want to highlight. I have no idea about the stucco since I don’t know when it was done. I would replace the siding with the composite suggested and IMO since this is not a craftsman house I would not start trying to make it one unless you have a big money tree.. I would not do a black door but the black railings work IMO. What I really don’t like is all the asphalt up to the doorstep. Maybe take a picture from further back so we can see the whole property
