Name: Christine
Location: In Christine's Workshop
Christine's house call is a little different than our usual 5 photo look at a home - yes, it's a before and after and it is also all in minature. She's working room by room, modernizing a dollhouse called a "Lolly's Citadel" that she purchased on eBay from a seller in Chicago.
If this first room is any indication, the makeover from traditional to modern should be spectacular and the sources are top rate:
Pixel chair and ottoman: minimodernistas
Light: vintage Strombecker
Plant: Lolly's
Rug: The House that Jacq Built
Side table: vintage German
Vases: Barbie by Jonathan Adler
Book: AG Minis
We're looking forward to seeing how the rest of the house comes together. For more info Christine's projects, visit: Call of the Small.
Thanks, Christine!

This is so cool! Love it & I want one!
Very cool!
This is great way to get a fix of all that designer furniture that is too expensive at full scale.
Fun hobby. Would also be a nice decorative accessory for a modern home - grown up toys!
I can finally decorate a house exactly the way I want it!
I love love love it! These projects are so perfect for those of us who have boundless creative energy but low funds to decorate our real homes to perfection (or those of us who rent!). The New York Times recently had an article all about this "new" hobby: "House Proud: In Miniature is Growing"
My mother made so many interior design changes while I was growing up (amazingly wonderful designs, btw) that my dad bought her a dollhouse to give her a place to design that would save her money
But the cost of little bitty versions of her choices cost more than you can believe. Whoops!
Good thing she was always a DIY star at these things, whatever the scale.
One "portrait" on a parlor wall was a tiny, framed JFK postage stamp, for instance
1/12 scale is a lot of fun -- and work! (And some things, because of the intricacy and difficulty of working that small, are MORE expensive in scale than in real life.)
I have to say, though, that the wallpaper and the upholstery together cause me pain, no matter what the scale. Too busy. (Maybe if the wallpaper weren't so contrasty??)
Very cool!!!
