Some people think that dollhouse kits are toys that have been made just for little girls to play with.
The image that many people think of are of Barbie or Sindy's Playhouse.
However Dollhouse kits are not only for children.
It is a very popular hobby for adults, both men and women.
It consists of purchasing a ready made dollhouse or a dollhouse kit to be assembled.
The walls may or may not have wallpaper and some dollhouse kits come complete with furnishings while others do not.
This is where the dollhouse enthusiasts excel.
Dollhouse Furniture The sourcing of dollhouse furniture is a very satisfying past time.
The collector usually has a certain period that they prefer for example the Victorian era, or the 1950s.
The era will of course determine the type of furniture that a collector will search for.
Furniture from the Victorian era will include wooden dark furnishings, miniature chandeliers, silver cutlery sets and some brass fittings.
Furniture from the 1950s will consist of a lot of plastic furniture and very bright colors for the walls and floors.
Dollhouse Kits do not always come with dolls so this will be another area that the collector will be looking to source suitable figurines to fit in with their style palette.
Dollhouse Kits and Your Budget The most important factor that will determine the type of dollhouse kit that a collector will look at buying is the cost.
This is a very inclusive hobby as people can enjoy it whatever their budget is.
Time invested in creating the perfect dollhouse will also play a big part.
More time invested usually leads to greater results.
So purchasing your very first dollhouse kit can be the beginning of a wonderful hobby that can bring a lot of joy and satisfaction especially if you are willing to put in the time and effort.
