Dollhouse


This is what I have been working on tirelessly (?) for two days. That's me taking a well-earned nap on the bed, ha. I've been fascinated with dollhouses since visiting the Museum of Science and Industry's dollhouse display when I was less than ten years old. It seems like there are two there (but perhaps they are different museums). One is a huge Victorian traditional dollhouse with details so exquisite it could make you cry. You walk around it and must stayed behind the velvet ropes. I think it is decorated for Christmas during the season. The other, and this may be at the Art Institute of Chicago, is small windows behind glass with separate dollhouse rooms. There are little steps in front of each display for children to see in better. They are both amazing.
My house is, well, mine. A gift from my husband a couple of birthdays ago.
