HOW I GOT STARTED…

I’ve never once owned a dollhouse. One day, my daughter and I found this old miniature (doll)house at the flea market in Wisconsin for $30 yet brought it home. We decided to give it an extreme makeover. Boy, was it old …and disgusting!

Of course, we gutted out everything you see – and primed it!

Our art direction: Whimsical Elf Toy Workshop / Sweet Shoppe

It was a true joy – watching both kids work on the house, painting and all! We decided to start our new Christmas tradition by adding holiday miniature decoration in the house each year.
