Instructions for
Real Good Toys
Kit #SE-JM 401
©09/17
Congratulations on your choice of a Real Good Toys product. Your kit has been precision made with meticulous care by
our craftspeople using carefully selected materials. This Dollhouse will last for years, even generations, if heirloom care
and attention is given during assembly. Take your time and read the instructions completely. If you have questions, ask
the experts at your local Dollhouse store or at info@realgoodtoys.com
Measure and identify the parts: The kit is packed in groupings
that protect the parts, and that is how the Parts List is organized. As
you measure and identify the parts, label them with sticky notes us-
ing the names from the parts list, and check them off the parts list so
you know you have everything. Taking the time now to identify and
organize the parts also makes them familiar so you will understand
what the instructions intend as you read ahead.

Before you begin - You have already opened the
box and see all the parts organized in boxes and
bundles. For the moment, keep them that way.
There are important things to do before you open
your glue bottle.
Choose your color scheme
. Look at houses in
your community, models in your local Dollhouse
shop or at our website: realgoodtoys.com; look
at plan books from a paint store or architectural
books at your library (a favorite is: Painted Ladies
by Michael Larsen and Elizabeth Pomada). You
will be painting some of the parts right away so
get the paint now. Choose high-quality semi-gloss
latex enamel paints for ease of use and durability.
