Doll Houses
-
Any dollhouse I might own would be a single-story and have a hinged-roof. You can’t hide from me.

Ok so we are designing our dream doll house mine would have many rooms less of a traditional dollhouse and more a series of rooms set into a book shelf style set up. Some with access to other rooms others that are contained certain rooms could be removed for transporting others would have a single purpose. My dolls could be rewarded for good behaviour by getting better rooms or punished by being moved to lesser rooms or even room where they could be bound. I say dolls because just like Pringles once you pop you just can’t stop plus some dolls might only want to spend time with the other dolls so for those I get a show.

has put stupid amounts of time into this line of thought
For me, the ideal SW dollhouse is designed around the comfort of the woman inside… but the ease of access of the man who owns it.
It has all the amenities: water, lights, a bed that’s actully fabric and not plastic, but… there’s no doors, anywhere. There are window, but they don’t open, and are made of tough plastic or whatnot that can’t be broken by such little hands. Once you’re inside the dollhouse, you don’t get to leave without the owner’s permission.
At least one wall, if not the whole thing, is effectively a one way mirror (…somehow), allowing the woman(or women) inside the illusion of privacy, that all they have to do is dodge the windows and the skylight and whatnot and they will be hidden… when they really, really aren’t.
And, of course, the fact it opens: the entire thing is designed with a removable roof and with each wall being on a hinge, to allow for those outside it to easier reach those within.

I’ve always thought it would depend on WHO I had as my doll lady.
I’ve known so many over the years that would love to live in a dollhouse, cages, shoeboxes, and such. So I would play off what I think fits that little one.

I may have thought about this a few
thousandtimes before.
I’ve got the perfect dollhouse pictured in my head. It would be a 3 story Victorian dollhouse. An well taken care of antique that was handmade. Each of the walls would pull away, revealing the room inside.This is the closest I was able to find to what it would look like:

@nataliethetiny Isn’t that where the shrunken Halliwell sisters got housed?

@Olo
Apparently they ended up in a dollhouse version of their own house:

@nataliethetiny That’s what I was thinking of.

Oh, and while it isn’t a Dollhouse, one of my best fantasy dwellings would be a nice terrarium. Add some plants, and sand, and water to make a little beach. All it needs is a sunlamp and I can have a tropical vacation in the middle of the winter!

While a cage is usually what i imagine like 80 percent of the time i do also enjoy doll houses. Although i personally don’t want it to be a super nice fancy decked out doll house or mansion style thing. I want it to be unmistakable that it’s just a fake house meant for toys and objects.
I like to think that Everything about it would feel slightly off like 2d shelves on the wall and weird proportions so thats its impossible for me to think anything is normal…If there is furniture it would be be crude and plastic. If im in doll clothes i imagine it would feel weird and uncomftorble or rough on my skin. Clearly not designed for any living thing to wear.
My favorite living in a dollhouse situation tho would actually involve me being to small for it. Maybe it’s a house designed for 8 inch dolls and I’m only 3 inches. Having to climb up onto furniture or the bed. Struggling to open doors. Even having a few dolls as roommates towering over me…you know fun normal stuff

To me, a doll house only goes to something, or someone, you treasure in some sense, if not as a person, then as favored pet, or a beloved toy. In such cases, you give them the best because you want to keep them happy.
When they aren’t, when you want it to be clear that this isn’t a home, this is a prison, that’s when you bust out cages and boxes.

@nataliethetiny You get a sunlamp, you don’t need clothes.

@i-am-insane Yea i get that. It’s probobly why i prefer the other 2 over it. I’m not exactally the…want to be treasured or pampered sort in my fantasies
