Dorothy
Meredith and husband, Mike, lovingly and professionally restore dolls
in Dorothy's studio, nestled in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Our
goal is not to make an antique appear new, but to restore damage while
preserving as much of the original as possible. A restoration of this
type should appreciate, rather than depreciate, the value.
Dorothy received both a 1st and 2nd place award from the National Doll
Doctor's Association in 2004 in their restoration competition. Before After When
your doll arrives for restoration, you will be given a written estimate
of cost and time involved. Each "patient" is tagged, cataloged and
placed in a labeled container to await his/her turn. We handle all of
the restoration ourselves, never entrusting your family heirlooms to others. Dorothy
has been restoring and repairing dolls since the early 1980s, ensuring
that you will be pleased with the professional care you will receive.
Husband, Mike, works full-time outside the studio, but has a good eye
for detail and much experience in woodwork, which is very helpful with
the composition restoration.

the best way to package and ship your little patients to us. When
they arrive, we will mail or email you a written estimate on repairs.
We will promptly return all calls and emails. Before After
