Dollhouses have an appeal that can't be denied. Generally, kids love dollhouses, but there are adults who love it. The allure of these little houses holds the chance of living a different life, though in a miniature world. And individuals with vivid imaginations would always succumb to such pleasure.

Yes, there are several video games that have the identical principle as dollhouses, such as the well-known game SIMS. Still, the experience in playing these games and playing dollhouses are different. If a kid has a dollhouse, the kid can play with other kids or even with adults.

In every toy store, there will often be a dollhouse put on sale. The web would also have them. A dollhouse might be sold in a set or may have some of its part sold as a separate thing. With the many varieties they have, they even become more interesting. There are basic dollhouses to Victorian ones. The size of these miniature houses could differ as well; there are little, medium and large dollhouses.

Indeed, it’s rather easier to buy dollhouse and the dollhouse accessories. You could even see many of the dollhouse supplies on stores of great quality. But solely those who've enough money can purchase these high quality dollhouse supplies. The reason for this is that dollhouse and its parts do not come cheap, particularly if they are of great craftsmanship. And many people are having a hard time to purchase these miniaturized houses because the economy today is not really good.

We all know that our money is something we simply cannot misuse since it is really essential. To several folks, dollhouse weighs less compared to other things that matter. There are actually still ways on how one could have a good dollhouse minus then huge expenses. This is quite possible provided that one has a vivid imagination and creativity skills. Meaning, a person might make her or his own dollhouse.

A dollhouse can be created by any person. For example, one could use wood or used boxes in creating the dollhouse. One will have to invest in time, effort and patience in order to successfully make one along with use particular tools. By creating the dollhouse, there will be enough freedom to create one that follows the layout and idea the individual has. An professional in crafts and in arts will certainly be able to make a good dollhouse.

For tiny dollhouse accessories, any other material will certainly suffice. Furniture like beds, tables and couches can be made using aged boxes. It will just require an artistic touch such as painting them or covering them with beautiful cloth. With craftsmanship and imagination, any material would be perfect.

The entire family can take part in making the dollhouse. This is perfect for families with kids. Constructing dollhouse together will be a great bonding. The kids will have the opportunity to show their skills when it comes to art. Children also will learn a thing or two from their parents. The family could be in a position to enjoy this type of activity.

So long as it's still within one’s budget, absolutely nothing is wrong in purchasing a dollhouse. If not, why not make one? Making one is a great experience the family can spend together.

Dollhouse Parts | Dollhouse Trim

The Dollhouse Trim line at WoodVictorianDollhouse.com has offered exceptional options for the past few years.  About a year ago, we expanded the trim line - but expanding the trim!  most of our trim was cut in about 12" lengths.. well last year we introduced lengths that were closer to 22"'s.  This provided our customers with the option to build larger 1" scale models with less pieces, or in this case... Less cuts.

We have dollhouse trim that has been used in a variety of projects - my favorite (I am writing this so I get to talk about my favs!) is the window display from the 2009 Bergdorf Goodman store in NY city.  I was lucky enough to visit the store a year later - WOW! expensive stuff, but really amazing quality in terms of what they do with their window displays!  They used A LOT of our trim for the building seen in the image below.

Dollhouse Parts

In 2008 I began researching the idea of building a new business, initially the plan was to provide laser cutting services to architects in the Southern CA market.  However, my passion for modeling and custom development took over.  I am not even sure now how I got into the dollhouse parts product manufacturing business honestly, it just kind of became something that I did.  I have even had discussions with friends and family about the time that we built the catalog which now contains nearly 150 unique kits and parts and it all just seemed so natural.

We have sold our products on Ebay, Etsy and through our own website as well - the true measure has been the number of customers we have interacted with in the past 4 years... We have shipped to 6 continents! Yep, 6... No customers in Antarctica unfortunately... perhaps one of their researchers will order something - or maybe we should just ship it!  The coolest thing is to communicate with the many folks around the world that share the same craft and hobby addiction.  I have seen so many amazing projects come to life and love the fact that people like our products enough to add them.

Dollhouse Accessories

In 2010 we began working with Houseworks, one of the industry leaders in Dollhouse Parts and Accessories.  Their parts catalog includes more than 700 unique products which are manufactured all over the world.  We began offering their products simply because we wanted our customers to have a one stop shop or better online option for the dollhouse parts needs.

I am truly looking forward to the future and the next steps in our business and how we can serve our customers better.  We are hoping to develop more industry relationships and begin offering our products via wholesale channels to partners in the dollhouse parts and dollhouse kit market.  Stay Tuned and as always - let us know if there is something we can create for you!
