What I'm Looking At Today: A Mini World

 I'm in interior decoration and for the last several years I've been working on pretty large houses around the country and trying to make the world a better place one room at a time. I recently reconnected with an old friend, he's passionate about design and while not a decorator, he's spending a good deal of time thinking about design and creating a beautiful little world....and so now I've been introduced to the world of miniatures.......and I'm hooked.

I had known about the famous Quenn Mary's dolls house and the few other English 18thc houses with wonderful interiors, but there's an entire dolly world of grand palaces and sumptuous interiors.

Below are a few examples that I found while shopping for furniture. Now, I don't have much room in my tiny apartment in NYC, but I've started shopping for furniture.....just in case....

There are these wonderful makers, each specializing in their own type of interior, varying in quality, but never in scale.....these are in effect scale models 1:12...and there are countless obsessed individuals who make all their own furniture as well....now that's amazing.
