Dollhouse Design

Heather Benning should be an inspiration to us all with this lifesize dollhouse. See the article at Apartment Therapy here http://www.ohdeedoh.com/ohdeedoh/look-lifesize-dollhouse-by-heather-benning-057296 She bought an old farm house and transformed it into a lifesized dollhouse. The front even comes down so you can go inside. Amazing!

I seem to be interested in all things small of late. Ever since I pulled out my old dollhouse from the attic I've been toying around with remodelling it. Good dollhouse furniture is quite hard to find so I might have to go the ebay route.

Here are some fab things I found:

Portrait in a frame

Chinese Console Table

Old Mixer. LOVE.

Old Washing Machine.

I found the above on Ebay http://collectibles.shop.ebay.com/items/Miniatures__W0QQ_armrsZ1QQ_mdoZCollectiblesQQ_msppZQQ_pcatsZ13777Q2c1QQ_sacatZ66518

I haven't decided on a style obviously...Here are some more modern furniture examples. Not sure if I love them for myself but they are great nonetheless. I hope Barbie can entertain properly on that Marshmallow Sofa...

The following is from http://www.zoolabees.com/ which is a great source for dollhouse EVERYTHING!

Home in the Country

This weekend I'm travelling home! I love going home for many reasons, the space, the quiet, the time....Most of all though I adore my room at home. When my parents moved 4 years ago I was allowed to pick out a few things as in the theme etc. My theme I suppose is very country and light looking.

I have some BEAUTIFUL water color paintings hung on the walls. My bedspread is the adorable pink toile below and my desk is distressed cream painted from Ballard Designs. http://www.ballarddesigns.com/ I just recently was able to move my dollhouse back in...will be working on that this weekend! I used to take the mini dollhouse broom and sweep every room until all the dust was gone...aaah I love to clean.
