How to decorate the dining room of your dolls’ house

Friday, May 30th, 2008

If you are designing your dolls’ house dining room, perhaps you would be drawn to the delicate dining sets in miniature china. There are many different designs available, almost as many as in real life such as alluring pink and blue serving sets with cute roses or delicate china sets with more modern embossing.

Once you are done picking out your dining sets, many other pieces await your selection. The detailing in every spoon and fork from the cutlery array will make you gasp in awe. Silver–toned, slim handled forks and spoons fit for a princess, striking lace trimmed trays, elaborately designed gold rimmed biscuit jars and to top it all an ostentatious gong to beckon ‘milady’ for her meals.

If you are looking to do your dining room in a theme like an Edwardian or Georgian or if you merely want to dress it up for Christmas, you will find fully assembled sets too. The mahogany carved dining chairs, side tables, show cupboards with charming detailed lampshades, elaborate picture frames and mirrors will go well with your settings. Chocolates, flowers, vases, cakes and candle stands give your house a complete feel for that era or style.

NurseryOne of the most fun rooms to design and decorate in either your own house or in a dolls’ house is a nursery.

A Sleeping Beauty nursery, a Little Bo-Peep nursery or perhaps a Miss Muffet Nursery anything that suits her fantasy.

Also the collection of dolls with their range of clothes and shoes will bring a sparkle to your little girl’s eyes. Little girls are always on the lookout for doll clothes that resemble their own styles. You can find assorted styles that can be worn in all kinds of weather, party clothes with flounces or straps or some cool night wear too.

Once she is done choosing the clothes, she will be delighted with the dainty perfume bottles on an elegant mirror tray, pretty satin baskets with toiletries and towels or perhaps a pampering set for the bathrooms or boudoir.

The earliest documented dolls’ house

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Let’s look at the history of dolls’ houses by rewinding the clock! The first recorded and authentic evidence of a dolls’ house is from the year 1558 when Bavaria’s Albrecht V, Duke ordered a beautiful house to be built for his beloved daughter. It was four stories, complete with cowsheds and a lovely garden.

When the Duke first looked at it, he was extremely pleased. In fact, he was so fascinated by it that he even forgot the fact that the dolls’ house was supposed to be a present for his daughter. The dazzled Duke decided to keep it for himself. Presumably, his daughter was never allowed to play with the precious object.

Sadly, the original house no longer exists. It is said to have been gutted in a fire in the 1670s. However, other miniatures have been found that pre-date this historic dolls’ house as well as its contents though it is disputed whether they were actually items used in religious ceremonies or toys.
