MYkind is where I talk about myself, so if you’re not into hearing updates on a crazy person, you might want to surpass this post and enjoy some more beautiful art and objects.
So here’s something fun. My e-friend Emily invited myself and a few other awesome people to play with her. As in play house. Or playhouse. Whichever you’d prefer, or even both. Actually, definitely both.
Because guess what? We’re decorating dollhouses*. Teeny tiny little dream houses of our own, and because I never owned a dollhouse as a kid (although I did hack quite a cardboard box mansion for Barbie, Ken and my sister’s Michael Jackson doll), I’m all over this challenge. In fact, Melissa & Doug gifted me this furnished dollhouse to work with. So sweet, yes? It’s the dream home I never had.
We’ll be sharing pics of our creations along the way (hopefully weekly!), so feel free to tune in if you dare. And if any of you have any miniature shoes, I’d love them. It’s for a top secret DIY in my new dream house’s mudroom.
We’ll be done by Christmas, and when I’m finished, I’m totally inviting my sister’s Michael Jackson doll to host a holiday soiree on the back deck. Thriller, indeed.
p.s. Watch the crazy adventures unfold (or join in on the fun!) over at Style by Emily Henderson, The Brick House, Making it Lovely, Simply Grove, Little Green Notebook, Girl Domestic and Hommemaker.
How totally fun! Will your wee house contain swatches from your real house I wonder? Emily’s writing is delightful. Fun project indeed.
Do you know Jenny – The Bloggess? http://thebloggess.com/ Well, I don’t know her, know her – but I follow her on the interwebs. This is her doll house – some inspiration? Maybe not what you’re after, but it’s pretty awesome. http://www.flickr.com/photos/thebloggess/6108060732/in/photostream/
