White House Furniture

A dolls house isn't just a doll house - it's a whole new world for the lucky little girls who get their own special little home. I got one when I was a sixties youngster and now that my granddaughter is old enough for her own dolls house I am back viewing that special little world.

It's just the same - furniture built to scale that is really too big on the scale. I've never seen one that can fit all of the dolls house furniture into the room that it's supposed to reside comfortably.

I guess that's part of the charm of a doll house.
It took quite an enjoyable while to choose but we bought a gorgeous wood and porcelain 7 piece bathroom set last week with Beth's birthday money. Bath, shower cubicle, toilet, set of drawers, towel rail, mirror and basin, they looked really good even though they were in Beth's favourite colour pink. As the bathroom walls are green Beth has decided that we need to redecorate soon.
We got home from town and got down to the serious business of furnishing the bathroom and no matter what we did we couldn't fit all of the furniture in. After several unsuccessful attempts we decided to put the shower cubicle in the main bedroom. Beth wasn't happy with that, she said that the bed would get wet and daddy doll wouldn't be able to get out of bed on his own side.

She hadn't noticed that daddy doll was too big for the bed and I wasn't about to break that bubble!

I suggested that we leave the bath out, have a modern bathroom with only a shower. Beth said that we couldn't do that because there would be nowhere for the children dolls to play with their boats and ducks. I saw her point if the dolls house and it's dolls were part of the real world but you can't help but humour 6 year old girls.
