Welcome to the Dollhouse
By Christa TerryPeople get freaky about their dolls, but really it’s no better or worse than any other hobby. Silly me, I actually didn’t realize how deep the doll obsession can run until I stumbled upon some dolls that look way too much like real people in little dolly fashion shoots. That led me to some doll houses that look way too much like real houses, which I’m totally digging with a level of enthusiasm equal to the level of horror I feel when looking at those scary high fashion dolls.

These gorgeous wee interiors were created by Michael Williams for his “Welcome to the Haute Dollhouse” feature in Haute Doll Magazine. I actually bookmarked one picture in his album thinking it was a real room, but I won’t tell you which one.

Aren’t they lovely? It makes me want to buy a basic doll house for my daughter when she’s old enough to enjoy it, and fill it with analogs of designer furniture and home accessories. Basically, I want her to have the hottest (and hautest) doll house on the block.

Love the mini rooms. I have made several and this has inspired me to take up the hobby again.

I have an deep respect for this craft. I marvel at the intricacies of working on this miniature scale. I am inspired as my fellow commentator has previously state, to revisit this art form. Bravo !
