German Dollhouse

I know I shouldn't say this because Germans hate it, but Germans are so innovative!

Here is a dollhouse by the German company Hase Weiss.

The rooms are individual boxes that can be moved around to create a different floor plan any time you wish. Genius!

And it all closes up into the convenient little box in the last picture.

Hase Weiss even sells additional rooms that you can add on.

I think I'm in love.

One of my greatest achievements was building this dollhouse. Excuse the crude photo—it'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.

Open—ready for you to decorate! 

A cool modern twist on the classic dollhouse—the Bennett House available here. Price is listed as TBD—that can't mean affordable!

Actually a bird house—three 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!
