Thank you Blossoming and JaneJudge. Your link lead me to this:

I hadn't known that dolls' houses were once called baby houses.
I like the notion these are objects which evolve over time passing down the female line, generation after generation, each one adding to it - which is, in a way, what Lauren is talking about in the Foundlings film, people building on one another's creativity, being inspired by another generation.
The exhibition’s curator Alison Sage describes [a dolls' house] as “a collage almost of different memories, different associations… Just because something doesn’t quite fit it doesn’t mean doesn’t have a special place in this house.”
The image in the link you shared Jane of the room with the Princess and the Pea reminds me of the stack of quilting fabric that I have in my craft room and may nudge me to get on with some hibernating projects.
