My father worked in a paper factory that also made different types of board, including fibreboard, from which old-style suitcases were made. He made me a dollhouse from said board. It was pretty basic, and I had cheap plastic furniture for it, which I loved.
In Stockholm, the Nordic museum has (or used to have) a gorgeous collection of old dollhouses. There is a also a lovely one at a café near us. I always stop to marvel at the detail. The tiny food tins and washing powders have proper labels on them and everything is to scale.
I also follow Carinne (My Life in Miniature) on Instagram. The detail is absolutely incredible and it seems that many things actually work!
Love this. Thank you. You should check the Quimper Hitty blog I follow, and a couple of people I follow on Insta. I will send you their profiles.
Hi, Janet. I’ve been following Carinne for about a year or so. I love her dollhouses! She works in 1:12 scale, which is one inch = one foot. I have been making 1:48 scale dollhouses for about ten years, which is 1/4″ = one foot. I love this hobby!
Oh wow that is amazing! I would love to see pics. Dollhouses always make me smile.
