Monday, June 28, 2010 at 7:00AM welcome to the dollhouse....
this was featured in the NY Times last week, and i absolutely LOVE what sandra foster did to this old 9x14 foot hunting cabin in the middle of the catskill woods in NY... only $3000 worth of renovations to turn an old run-down cabin into a shabby-chic retreat for herself...
after some hard business times for her husband, leaving her, the fiscal administrator of a laboratory in Long Island, the sole wage earner, they have had to move onto much more meager livings.. nonetheless, after seeing this cabin, she was determined to make her dream home come true.. "This is a very special sort of dream house: the Victorian Ms. Foster has wanted since she was a teenager on Long Island and her middle-class family lost their home. It is a house that is as soul-satisfying as it was when she first imagined it as a 15-year-old, even with the ups and downs that grown-up life brings."
i absolutely LOVE how vintage accents inside of her house (and those pink wellies are pretty darn cute and perfect for this adorable dollhouse cottage)...
her small library is absolutely lovely! I am SWOONING over it.. i LOVE libraries.. i will have one in my home soon..
her loft bed is just heavenly.. it looks like a fluffy cloud that you can sink into and enjoy the beautiful sunlight shining in the mornings...
this dollhouse is just simply adorable.. i love that she made her dream house come alive..
