Hey everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice from the creative minds of r/dollhouse.

A few years ago, my lovely Grandma gifted me this beautiful large Georgian dollhouse. Unfortunately, it's been sitting collecting dust since then, and it really needs some serious TLC. My goal is to give it a fresh start, both inside and out.

Overall Condition: The exterior has some chips in the paint and discolouration. Generally looks grubby and dated. Paper on the roof is tired and slightly torn. The interior is also very old fashioned and needs a complete overhaul.

Electrical: This is a major concern. The previous lights were wired very unsafely and are definitely a fire risk. I need to completely replace them. I'm thinking LED battery operated lights?

Exterior Damage: There is specific, noticeable damage to the top corner of the front door frame from being moved (see pictures). Can this kind of delicate piece be replaced, or is there a way to repair it that will look seamless?

Style: I want to keep the Georgian feel especially to the exterior but modernise the overall look.

1. Where do I even begin? Should I prioritise the structural repairs (the door frame), the electrical work, or the cosmetic updating?

2. Georgian Style Inspiration: What colour palettes, wallpaper patterns, or furniture styles work best for a modernised Georgian dollhouse? Are there any specific periods within Georgian design that are particularly popular to recreate?

3. Resources: Are there any websites, YouTube channels, or online communities you swear by for dollhouse renovation advice, supplies, or tutorials? Where do you find miniature materials and furniture? I’m uk based.
