It is crazy to see what things people want to watch on Instagram. Last Christmas, I became slightly obsessed with watching parents building dollhouses for their children. They would work on these secret projects late at night fueled by coffee and a love for miniature home furnishings. They painstakingly attached every individual roof shingle and laid hardwood flooring in a complicated herringbone pattern. I couldn’t wait for the project updates and became weirdly invested in these miniature homes. I don’t currently have any reason to build a dollhouse, but that hasn’t stopped me from dreaming of one. My dream dollhouse would be similar to the house in the movie Practical Magic. I remember watching that movie when I was younger and thinking about how I would redecorate the house. I made a design board because I’m crazy and…well…it was fun. Here are some pieces that I would start with. I would add some fun wallpaper and paneling. I would probably put in a checkerboard floor too. Hmmm, Maybe next Christmas I should ask for a dollhouse.
