Dollhouse

I've been doing a little research on the net this weekend after one of my girlfriends asked me to paint a Dollhouse she has bought secondhand for her two daughters! I got very excited about this as my sister and I had a huge one on stilts and castor's that we could walk right around when we were little... ( my Grandpa actually made it for my Mum, it isn't with us any more unfortunately!). Now I just need to find the time to make this happen and starting to wonder how I can acquire one that isn't two girly for my boys? ( maybe I just want it for myself!!!)  So I went a wandering through blogs, flickr etc ... and I just had to share all this  miniature goodness !!!

Linda Gavin's gorgeous dollhouse from flickr had me oooohhhing and ahhhhing!

This cute cottage above caught my eye too!
And my absolute favorite would have to be Vanessa's Dollhouse over at A Fanciful Twist complete with bunting and miniature cakes!!!
And then there is the colour house...

and for the minimilist child?... the villa sibi complete with pool house ...

Oh and this flickr set from House of Duke is a must see.... Did you know life in minature could be so retro, so funky, so modern ( there is a laptop computer in there too!)
And I know we are nowhere near Christmas, but it's so festive at this little house too!
Plus if you really must indulge there is a Flickr group dedicated to Dollhouses too! I hope you revert back to a happy childhood memory just like I did!!!

How sweet?! I love the little dollhouse with the bakery. I love minitures! Makes me want a dollhouse too.

I was just at Hobby Lobby last weekend and took notice of all the little dollhouse pieces. I so wanted to buy them all up! Dollhouses take the cake :)
