I was poking around on Flickr last night, uploading some long past due photos, when I came across this incredible dollhouse in Shershe's photostream. The dollhouse is the Contemporary Ranch by Real Good Toys. I've looked at the Contemporary Ranch before, but Shershe's masterpiece is really inspiring me to pick one up for my first attempt at building a dollhouse kit.
The stock photo that Real Good Toys has doesn't do the house justice. The tall ceilings are great, as are the wide doorways. The loft and spiral stairways are wonderful touches as well.
I LOVE the red painted door. What a wonderful pop of color.
There are many many more photos of the whole assembly process on Shershe's photostream - you should check it out. I think next time the HBS April Fool's Day sale rolls around, I'm picking up the Contemporary Ranch.

I have seen this house before, too. I love it. Perhaps I will ask a friend of my daughter, who is a carpenter, if he like to make some similar for me.
ReplyDeleteBut in fact I have no room for another dollhouse....

Dear Oese,
ReplyDeleteI too have no more room for another dollhouse - and I still have two or three in mind that I'd like to purchase!
Maybe I need to invest in a larger life-size house first . . .

Wow, that house is really a beauty!
ReplyDeleteHiya Pubdoll,
ReplyDeleteI know, it's gorgeous isn't it?

I'm almost done building mine. Excellent kit - comes together beautifully. One... minor... problem. No bathroom. Plus, the most logical place for the kitchen is beneath the loft, which should really be the living room. But, it's gorgeous, so who cares.
ReplyDeletemoviedogs ~ Yes and yes! I might try a temporary bathroom set up in the loft, just for fun. When I originally bought the kit, I planned on the kitchen being in the room with the spiral staircase and the living room under the loft. But, furniture wise it didn't work so well that way so I had to switch them around. I'd love to see photos of your house.
ReplyDeleteAha! I thought about the loft/bathroom option, too. (... hopefully the tub doesn't leak...). I will absolutely post pictures. I am presently working on the window conundrum. Gonna take some filing to make them fit. You're house is stunning, by the way. Well done.
