Real life-size inspiration

These pics are some of my favourites from Flickr.

I love teddies, and it would be awesome to create these in mini scale. I can dream! Perhaps one day I will think of a way to do it. I think the maths and thinking behind figuring these details out is part of the attraction of minis for me. The photo came from Jillybug's Flickr.

The next pic is a shop I think, taken from It's a chimmy simmy world's Flickr.

I'd love to make a mini version. I think I will incorporate it into my own French shoppe. The colours are superb. I especially love the little cardigans in frames on the back wall and the trinket box on the cake plate to the left of the screen. I also love the use of multiple wallpapers - very whimsical and great for using leftover pieces of wallpaper!



Lastly, I have a pic of a beautiful French house. I spend ages looking at the French real-estate websites! Some amazing places and seriously old too.

Dollhouse heaven

The most beautiful dollhouses I think I've ever seen are created by Lea.

Her houses never cease to amaze me. The detail she gets into every scene is second to none and it's so easy to imagine yourself in her little world. Her houses inspire me endlessly and now I am making a house based on her florist.

Here you can see some of her teeny cats that she makes. Their sweet little faces are priceless!

A little house to inspire

Welcome to my blog! Given it is my first post, I thought I'd post some pictures of one of my most favourite dollhouses, the lace house by Liz Le Bosse. She makes absolutely stunning dollhouses, and this is one of the best. It's so sweet. You can see the exterior and some of the rooms below.

It opens at the side as well as the back, and part of the roof lifts to access the upstairs bedroom. The last pic, the den, is one of my favourite rooms. I can imagine it as a tiny study with a comfy armchair and lady's desk. One day I will re-create this house in half inch scale.
