Dollhouse Miniatures

I really liked this article thought I'd share

Dollhouses have been popular for centuries. Long ago, they were made for royalty. Europe's middle class soon became interested in these tiny homes, and accomplished artisans began making dollhouse miniatures. With the Industrial Revolution, toys such as dollhouse miniatures were finally available to the masses. Today, these miniatures remain a popular hobby for many.

Whether you are a beginning miniature collector who is interested in buying a dollhouse kit or have built several dollhouses from scratch, each new project presents exciting new choices and challenges. What kind of dollhouse should you choose? How exactly will you build it? What should you choose for trim? And of course, how should you decorate your dollhouse miniatures once you are done?

As you begin the process of building your house, start a notebook to write down any tips you want to remember. Your first dollhouse, especially, will be a learning experience. Look through dollhouse books and seek advice from the internet and from other miniature enthusiasts. Record any mistakes you make or things you learn along the way so that your next dollhouse building experience will be even better. Most dollhouse collectors don't stop with just one house, so make a note of the things you want to remember when you begin to build your next dollhouse project.

Dollhouses can be fun to build, decorate, and furnish. Dollhouse kits have made this hobby a very cost effective way of creating your dream home. They are beautiful to display and exciting to share. No matter your reason for investing in a dollhouse, you will love the experience and the finished product!
