Dolls House - have you got one ?

BeEmerald wrote I’d love another now but the prices are astronomical.

Could you recycle one of those thick brown cardboard boxes in which some things arrive and just do a living room?

Not the same, but maybe better than nothing.

I found these wallpapers.

Perhaps a different sort of glue is needed to fix it to a cardboard box.

And they sell pictures for the wall, both ready done and blank frames into which one can add one's own picture.

I found this one.

It says it is 1/12th scale.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa

includes the size of the original.

I have found this video that runs for 10 minutes 3 seconds (plus an advertisement in the middle when I played it)

DH is in the process of making one for our GD. It’s a labour of love it has to be perfect.

midgey thank you so much That looks amazing ! Will look for it on catch up. Oh - at last something to really look forward to !

I think playing with a dolls house is a lovely way to pass your time. It’s both creative and imaginative.
My father built for my sister a dolls house with little windows that were made out of those see through coloured wrappers from chocolates. My brother poked all the windows through before Christmas dinner and there was absolute murder.
I’d love another now but the prices are astronomical. I’ll have to buy a lotto ticket.

The programme finished last night but I’m sure it will be on catch up.

I did have one, but I had to let it go when I moved into this retirement flat - not enough room for it. I’ve brought all the little furniture and so on with me, though - it had been carefully collected and I couldn’t bear to part with it.

midgey I’ve never heard of it - what is it please ?

BeEmerald have you been watching the tiny house challenge? The work people did was amazing!
