If you are building a period dollhouse or room box, you're decorating choices are pretty much limited by convention. There's more latitude if you're recreating an important scene from childhood, because we've all learned that memory is not a video recorder. Still, the whimsey factor can be limited.
I sketched some dollhouse ideas for the latest granddaughter. It was a Victorian beauty, just like I had at her age. Her reaction gave me joy.
“Gee, grandma! It's so old-timey. I'd rather have something I'd like to live in.”
So we perused decorating magazines, watched HGTV together, and made plans for a contemporary structure. What a dream house! She sure better become a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, when she grows up.
Guess which room we spent the most time planning? The bath … no, that's a lame description. She wants a Personal Spa in her dollhouse. Hooray! There's a fresh breeze blowing in the miniature universe. Keep the windows open!
