Tiny Love

One of my greatest achievements was building this dollhouse. Excuse the crude photoit's old and I've since given it away. I was inspired to build the dollhouse because at the time I was working at the now closed Washington Dolls' House & Toy Museum in DC.
Here's my baby:


Cathleen just sent me this link to an article a woman wrote in the NY Times about her special love with her dollhouse. It's a cute article worth the read and the author includes lots of links to miniature suppliers.

To keep you inspired, here are some more images of other dollhouses I've come across:

This is Faith Bradford's dollhouse which is exhibited at the National Museum of American History. It's a blast to spend time visually going through all of the rooms.


Here's a slice of a dollhouse available through antique dealer Frederick P. Victoria & Son, Inc.


 A neoclassical-style dollhouse available through antiques dealer Hollywood at Home.



Another view.


Openready for you to decorate! 


A cool modern twist on the classic dollhousethe Bennett House available here. Price is listed as TBDthat can't mean affordable!



Actually a bird housethree stories high. I don't know where this is from. I found it on my computer and probably came across it years ago. Anyway you could display this in your house as a faux dollhouse. 


And finally a dollhouse cabinet for your own little doll baby. Available here.


I'll keep searching for cool dollhouses and will post them as I find them.

Enjoy!

  1. I love these! the one that you made is so beautiful. It makes me want to make them too- and then I remember that I would just get totally stressed out. :)

  2. HAve you been to Once Upon a Child in Vienna? The whole back room is a doll house collectors dream... There are far more grown women than children back there and they also have very cool displays depending on the season..
