Oh. my. goodness. I had a dollhouse exactly like this and I loved it SOOOOOO much. I wanted to live in a real house just like it because I thought it was just so, so pretty. LOL Back then, they didn't offer much in the way of extras such as yard items like they do with doll houses today so I had to improvise and use a butter bowl for a swimming pool. My little plastic people didn't seem to mind at all and really, neither did I. I spent hours and hours and hours playing with this beautiful toy.
