Julie was wondering what doll house I was talking about, well this is the thing of beauty that I was ready to pay $160 for two months ago 🙂

Last night after the crazy espresso I decided on the inexpensive “I will not mind (too much) if she brakes it" beginner doll house inspired by an awesome German blog called "Room by room”. I’m already brainstorming modifications for making it more preschooler friendly. I’m placing first item on “Mommy would really really love this for…” list

The funny thing is I worked with it when I was like 7 years old. It was my love at my mom’s work (she was a shopping window designer for a a large department store), it was a version designed to work with Styrofoam. Instead of a blade it had a wire that heated up and sliced through the foam. I loved it and made many pieces of furniture for my own doll house. Happy memories there 🙂
