Most of us involved in dollhouse building and decorating love to explore completed projects for inspiration.  Today, we have a plethora of online and print resources for our viewing pleasure.  From Facebook groups, to Pinterest boards, to dollhouse magazines, the venues for inspiration are amazing.  But one of my favorite ways to experience a dollhouse or miniature collection is up close and personal.  Nothing beats being able to stand next to a dollhouse and peer into its tiny rooms!  

Growing up in Chicago, I had the advantage of seeing the Colleen Moore Fairy Castle at the Museum of Science and Industry and the Thorne Rooms at the Art Institute of Chicago.  I highly recommend you visit each should you have the opportunity to be in Chicago.   

In the meantime, I thought you might enjoy the Nostell Priory Dollhouse from the 18th Century.  Just click on the image below or follow this link.
