In 2007 I bought a doll's house kit called "Cameleon" at a Dutch store "Karweipost". The house was named "Cameleon" because it came in 4 different versions. I needed to buy a kit because I did not have a real sawing machine at my disposal and therefore couldn't easily construct a wooden doll's house from scratch myself.
With the "Cameleon" I saw enough opportunities to change aspects of the kit to make it better suit my ideas. My plan was to use the kit as the basis for a Dutch house of the beginning of the twentieth century.
So I chose the "Victorian"-version of the kit and added typical Dutch features. I shifted the position of a few inner doors and the shape of some window spaces. I constructed all windows, outer doors, brickwork, rooftiles, a second chinmey, the fence of the balcony and porches by myself to be able to apply my own ideas to the kit.
