Your Dolls House

Our Custom Build Hand-Crafted Dollhouses

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 13:06:48 +0000

One very attractive benefit that our customers rave about, time and time again, is our ability to provide top-quality, hand-crafted, unique, one-twelfth scale buildings.

By unique in this case, we mean that the ‘dollhouses’ are replicas, or special designs, of a building to which they are emotionally attached.

For example, we have designed and built miniature houses that are scaled replicas of guest houses, hotels, former homes, current homes and more.

One client was selling a magnificent building and wanted a replica to keep as a collectors item.

Which brings out an important point. Our dolls houses are all bought by collectors and mature people. They are designed for the new house owner to decorate exactly as they wish, using dollhouse furniture from around the world.

Once we agree a design with a customer, we hand-build to their exact requirements. This means that we have a waiting list, but one that our customers are happy to join.

Probably The Best Dollhouses On The Planet

Sat, 08 Sep 2007 12:52:15 +0000

For some years now, we have been providing dollhouses to the planet. And the feedback has been terrific.

We have supplied our dolls houses to several countries and have continued to provide custom-build dollshouses to the collectors who want something special, something different.

The collectors who want to remember a particular building, a replica of some structure that they want to last and to hand down to future family members.

And the skill and vision of some of our customers who have decorated their favourite buildings has left us in awe. Our collection of photographs has continued to grow and these dollhouse pictures have never been shared with the public.

One collector, in particular, has used expensive dollhouse furniture and the result is truly amazing. As a result, we have a lot more enquiries and a waiting list.

Sometime later this year, a new website will be built that will reflect some of these designs - always providing that our customers agree to show their unique dollshouses and the clever use of their dollhouse furniture positioning.

Until then, and for further details, head on over to our present site for probably the best dollhouses on the planet.

Wood Wins Every Time!

Mon, 20 Nov 2006 14:46:46 +0000

Without a doubt, the wooden dollhouse far exceeds in the quality,
the endurance of time, and the potential for detail, its
styrofoam, cardboard and plastic competitors. Wood has the touch
of the classic, lending itself to all sorts of architectural
expression from log cabin to stately Georgian mansion.
Â
The dollhouse, in and of itself, is a thing to be treasured
through the generations, to be appreciated for the love and care
that went into its creation by the forebears who passed it down
(or who will pass it down). Like a patina rich buffet or chest
of drawers, the wooden dollhouse stands the test of time and the
fads of fashion.
Â
Can you imagine a molded plastic dollhouse of such a stature as
our Gibside, for example, lasting intact long enough for it to
be appreciated by a great granddaughter? In the first place, we
would defy any plastics engineer to accommodate such a design as
the Gibside to be brought forth into the marketplace at any
reasonable cost, let alone enduring intact for a century or more.

Then take that concept one step further and think about the hours
of joy and fulfillment lost to the owner in the already molded
and painted brick exterior, or the stones about the foundation,
the plastic balustrade and ‘wrought iron’ railings. The fun of
painting the interior or wallpapering or making the lights work,
all lost in the molded readiness of plastic.

And, what grandparent collectors would pass along a piece that
already in their time has buckled siding and warped windows from
the ups and downs of the climate? Imagine a collector passing
down to his heirs a plastic or cardboard coin collection.
Ridiculous. No, the wooden dollhouse is like the tree it came
from; there and sturdy and classically natural.
Â
The wooden dollhouse, lasting and detailed with love from it’s
beginnings as a design on a piece of paper to its final interior
touch of wallpaper and miniature furniture becomes the expression
of all of those who appreciate it, who decorate it, who play with
it, in it and about it, from the very young to the very old.

The collector and the collection are forever enhanced by that
‘touch of wood’.
