At a glance it seems like just an ordinary home (with hip, mid-century modern style) complete with all of life's little mundane details - laundry, recycling bins, even a bit of clutter. But upon further inspection is oh, so much cooler than that! A grown-up girlish fantasy- real life in miniature, and quite an upgrade from any doll house I used to play with!
These modernist dollhouses have become a big hobby for a growing number of people (see houses belonging to Christine Ferrara and Annina Günther, below.) I really didn't realise there was so much tiny furniture out there. I have to say, there's something about tiny things that make them so much more fun! Christine Ferrara shares her beautiful miniature marvels in her blog, Call of the Small, a beautiful collection of mini-spaces that make you want to shrink down to Thumbelina-size so you can inhabit them.
















P.S The opposite - a life size dollhouse.
