Halloween Countdown: Haunted Dollhouse

Growing up I loved doll houses. First I had a Fisher-Price plastic one and then when I was older I was lucky enough to have a beautiful, hand-made doll house. I still love doll houses- which is why when I came across Jenny Lawson's work I had to share it.


Jenny (aka the Bloggess) has a haunted doll house. She has been working on it for over 10 years and it is one of the most amazing and intricate doll houses I've ever seen! 


Everything in the doll house is not only spooky in some way but most things have been inspired by fantasy books or films. You can see more of the doll house here but below are some of my favorite parts 



Fairy Skeleton: Cause of Death- Disbelief 

The Attic- can you spy Hedwig in the back? 

A dragon's egg hatching as a raven looks on. I personally think this one is a reference to Game of Thrones but I'm not sure

The bedroom has the sword from Narnia hanging above the bed and the dog from Nightmare Before Christmas 

The bookshelf opens to reveal a secret passage....


Such beautiful and intricate work! It is the perfect Halloween dollhouse. I wish I could shrink myself and wander around in it. 

Thanks to Jennifer at TheBloggess and Kitsy.com for sharing!
