Dollhouse

79 pieces,

and over 3 hours later,

my wonderfully gigantic dollhouse was done!
Why build a dollhouse you ask?

Because Moo and I have grown tired of plain old shelves,

and a dollhouse is pretty much a giant shelf...except a lot more colorful and fun!

Moo agrees.

  1. My daughter has one similar to this and I've seen pics where people use the dollhouse as a shelf when the kids outgrow it. So fun!

  4. What a wonderful dollhouse. That's a really good idea to use it as a shelf and it goes with the colourful things you own. Would like to see more! Hugs from Germany!

  14. Yay! I'm so glad you're back and posting. You are, ultimately, the inspiration for my blog!
    Also, I love the dollhouse. I just moved at the end of December and am in desperate need of some shelving for my stuff. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to go with the cheapest Ikea thing I can find!

    ReplyDelete
  37. That's pretty brilliant! Does Moo have his own room? :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. dear Katie.. I love love love your doll house... what I'm curious is that, how do you keep all of your little cuties clean all the time? becase I like to be surrounded by little things that are so cute buat always fail to keep them away from dusk :( do you clean them everyday? just wondering...

    ReplyDelete
  39. Ohhh my God!.. You are way too creativeee.. very original.. and i love it.. ^^

    ReplyDelete
  40. Love the idea! I made my own dollhouse out of cardboard when I was a kid, though, and I doubt my craftsmanship would hold up under any real weight.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Absolutely adorable! Moo seems thrilled. And I love that you can now refer to things by what room they are in! "Oh, the bowl of pom-poms is taking up most of the living room..."

    ReplyDelete
  42. Such a brilliant idea!! I might just copy you some day! :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. SO COOL. where did you get the dollhouse???

    ReplyDelete
  44. Wow that dollshouse is huge - amazing! What a great idea x

    ReplyDelete
  45. There is no such words in English (what the hell - in whole world!!!) to describe your phenomenon :-))) I adore you ! Let me say some in my way: "jesteś cudowna, bombastyczna, cukierkowa i kolorowa - cieszę się, że jesteś, bez takich ludzi świat byłby nudny" !!!! Keep going !

    ReplyDelete
  46. wow this is actually a really great idea! :D

  47. This is so cute, and what fun shelves! :)

    ReplyDelete
  48. This is so creative I can't even.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Side by side, which one is the 'doll'. I know that might have sounded 'sexist' but my intention was that you are so cute.
    Love the joy and smiles you bring.

    ReplyDelete
  50. You and your blog are my favorite. This is awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I must ask, what kind of camera do you use?

    ReplyDelete
  52. That house is huge! I love that you've used it for storage.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I never thought of that! That's a good way to recycle a dollhouse that a little girl has grown out of! That way she can keep it!

  60. That... is awesome.

  61. I have three questions:

    1. Can you stop at one?
    2. How long before you give in and start furnishing it?
    3: Does this help entice you? http://www.flickr.com/groups/modern_miniatures/

  62. Katie, I'm sure you know that you inspire different people all over the globe to do creative and positive stuff. Another proof - is me!:)
