                               from theswedishfurniture.com/

And yes our houses look like this but, this is for accent. This and chevron patterned material and you are of the moment...
Oh I forgot this one from Countryliving.com.

Better be an old kit doll house... not an antique...

Santa Fe Style

Please indulge me. It's a small house but not miniature. The work of friends in Taos, New Mexico. 

New Mexico, United States

Made me laugh when Englishwoman Mitchy Moo kiddingly complained about warm weather. Maybe switch to adobe for a few weeks... xo to all CM

If Barbie was made like God made women...

Naomi Kamiya's The Doll's House Gallery Opening

Gallery Opening

 Naomi Kamiya surrounded by art and patrons today in Berkeley.

 

 

This showed you were at the right place

 

 

Even Dudes and their skateboards liked it.

Immediate installation upon entering.

 

                  Work on the wall from Cal Berkeley Students

 Well attended. Wine, strawberries, lemonade and brownies were offered. Yum.

 

              Naomi is so much fun to talk to and has so many ideas.

 

And  out on Solano Avenue just a little exhibit to show you where the gallery entrance is. There are many more events planned on Solano Avenue. It's a really cool place to hang out. See http://Leftcoastmini.blogspot.com/ for more details. Don't you agree galleries and dollhouses are a great match? CM
