Just did a random search for retro dolls on Google just to see what comes up and if any of it is inspiring. Well today I found this;

This is a blog about a woman who loves to sew and be crafty! Well she found these pictures which eventually led me to this blog/website;

Here is her blog: http://maryannroy.wordpress.com/
This is a blog/website for a woman who creates items for 1/6 scale! It is truly amazing and so inspiring, it has really given me lots to think about! I really wish I could get started on my house, but unfortunately funds are holding me back, so in the mean time I will be planning the layout/measurements etc so that when I am able to afford to start I can go full steam ahead!!! :D
This is an example of her work:
(I hope she doesn't mind me using her image) :S

This piece of furniture has inspired me to create a similar piece for the bedroom and the colour is amazing! The colour really reminds me of some of the old furniture that Lundby and Triang used to make! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!

This is an amazing house that someone had made, (finally found the finished photographs of it) :)
Doesn't it look amazing! It really does resemble the houses of Palm Springs and other such houses of the mid-century!

This is a fantastic house which someone has made from scratch!!! It really reminds me of the houses that I so love in Palm Springs!
Maybe one day I will make my own house based on the architecture of Palm Springs...

Welcome To The My New Blog!

Hello everyone!

Thanks for finding my blog.

So what's the aim of this blog then?
Well has been set up to document my ongoings with my most recent dolls house as well as provide product reviews, hopefully some tutorials and anything that inspires me that I want to share with you all.

When I say 'recent' dolls house, I actually bought it about a year ago now and haven't touched it since because of lack of inspiration/money etc...

So this is the house...

Yes I know it's not very modern looking and it is a Victorian style house, but I couldn't resist it and it has so much charm to it!
It is a hand built house which I bought off of eBay, there isn't really much to do to the front of it, I will probably just give it a picket fence and repaint the door and trim.

Inside the house...

For the last few years I have been really interested in retro furniture/houses, in particular Palm Springs.

So that's where my inspiration initially came from...
I have loads of books as well to do with retro furniture such as G-Plan and houses, but here is my favourite advert from one which I would like to use as a poster in the house...

Such an amazing advert, I love the curves and the silhouettes, just amazing!

Another idea I have had is using a film advert for 'Attack of The 50ft Woman' in the house as it is from around the era which I am interested in and it's quite funny to...
