Tinkerbelle Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Hi everyone . been lurking for months as dollhouse work slowed down but just about to complete a 1:46th scale cottage that I will post pictures when i feel ready. With not much space in my house I had decided to only ever have my childhood dollhouse as a project and maybe some roomboxes but as I was looking at facebook marketplace I came across this for a ridiculous price. A 2 hour drive each way but the seller is in no rush for me to come pick it up so I will plan when to go. Not sure what my Mum and Dad are going to say when I attempt to bring it in as they frowned when I mentioned I wanted another one to play around with. It is a Dollshouse emporium but not sure on the name of it but it is no longer sold as far as I can see. But I just see so much potential with it that I couldn't pass it up. I am thinking either with Art Deco style bits or modern kate Spade inspired. I think the front reminds me of the townhouse that was used in Breakfast at Tiffany's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks it is tall- only one room on each floor and a hallway space. So not too much room but enough to be able to do things with. 4 hours ago, blueirishmoon said: Makes me think of gorgeous Regency townhouses in London. A friend also said that and it really does look like that. I would be going down that route if I didn't already have a georgian townhouse dollhouse as a work in progress. I will definitely be doing a roof garden as so far I have not had the chance to do a garden. So many different options which is great but too much choice can also be overwhelming. The door I think also looks french so could be a paris townhouse. Right now I think the idea I will research is art deco inspired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Also reminds me of this - not sizewise - but in the white with black regency look: Edited September 19, 2020 by Elsbeth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually seem to have a preference for white or cream dollhouses. I think I will use this dollhouse as the house to practise and make mistakes on so that I am not such a newbie when doing it on my childhood/heirloom quality dollhouse.
