Dollhouse Dormer - and more...

We have posted photos of our dollhouse dormer in the past, well we finally did the final prototype development to ensure that specific Houseworks windows will work!  Our first 45 degree angle dormer is finally done!  it assembles very quickly and will come with 2 gable options as part of the kit.  The tab and slot system makes the build out very quick - and the 1/8" baltic birch wood provides a great foundation to add to any dollhouse!  Stay tuned for photos and additions to the website - in the meantime, visit us online at: Victorian Dollhouse to see our entire product line!  

Make sure to check out our new Dollhouse bookcase furniture line.

Dollhouse Furniture line Prototypes

Dollhouse Bookcases
We have finished the first category in our new furniture line - the first items are 3 bookcases of varying widths.  They are built to the 1" scale, and will ultimately come with a variety of facades.  The initial design was put together to build a kit which is easy to assemble and will look good!
They all stand just under 8" and are built to fit in a standard 1" scale dollhouse with 8", 9" or 10" ceilings.  They all assemble in less than 10 minutes - the smallest can assemble in 5!  They have a simple tab and slot assembly and can be stained for painted.

We will continue to design and build furniture for your dollhouse and hope that you will share some fun and new ideas with us!  The next pieces will include a bedroom set as well as some outdoor furniture and more!

We will have our new bookcases listed on the website later this week once we work out the minor kinks from the prototypes - then you can purchase for your own dollhouse!

In the meantime, make sure to visit us online to view our entire collection of Victorian Dollhouse parts - including our new Dollhouse Lattice.

Dollhouse Bookcase - A New Category Coming Soon.

We have been working to build our new furniture line and tonight we cut and built the first kit - a Dollhouse Bookcase.  The best part about what you see, is that it is made from 1/8" baltic birch and contains 10 pieces total...  It takes about 5 minutes to glue together!  

Current Dimensions are 7 7/8" High x 3" Wide x 1 1/4" Deep.  These are final - but pretty close.  This is the single wide configuration - but we have a double and triple wide - as well as a corner unit.  We are also working on different patterns and facade trims to provide a variety.

We are continuing to work on new ideas which will include entire room kits!  They won't all fall under our "Victorian Dollhouse" umbrella, however - we are enjoying the art of creating new ideas and more!

Renew the Victorian Dollhouse blog

Hello everyone, well - I got a little too busy and have neglected the blog posting a bit - but don't fret... there are fun, new and exciting things on the way. I have been researching and planning, planning and researching and I am about ready to get started on a few new design ideas. We will be introducing a few new products and I think - entire new categories! Including wood furniture for your dollhouse!

Our current focus is on the patterns as well as material. The furniture category really will push us away from "supply" products into the "design" products. So we are looking at woods like oak, walnut, cherry, etc... As well as some crazy exotic woods like purple heart and zebra wood! Seriously, this wood is AMAZING! But very costly so we are moving very slowly to make sure that everything looks the way I imagine! I am all in with a new line to include a modular hutch as well a few other "things"! :)

Stay tuned - as always, check out our website where we feature some of the best building supplies for custom and scratch Victorian Doll House builders!
