Life's A Birch...Dollhouse


I am routinely encouraged to believe that I have married one of the greatest people on the planet. This morning, I discovered that this "great person" got me a Villa Sibi Dollhouse as a second and belated birthday present. I love it! I've been wanting to add it to my collection for some time (especially before it is discontinued and selling for thousands) but never had any idea where I would put it. Hmm...still have no idea.

    Hey Lisa!

    Welcome and Thank you. Is it weird that I am thanking someone who called me a "lucky cuss"? ha ha
    The Villa Sibi (roughly 1:16/1:18)is packed away until I find a place to put it. Please do share your progress with your modern Barbie dollhouse.

    I found your blog today and it is great.Such a pity some of this stuff doesn't come in 1/6 scale.
    I have now a Barbie Dollhouse as well and I'm starting to furnish it :-) It is so much fun.
    I loved the Espresso set by Bodo Henning you published pictures of, here in Germany it costs 17 euros...pffff...a bit hefty for my budget, we'll see...

    Thanks Claudia,

    As a 1:12 collector, I always feel like the good modern stuff is in 1/6 scale. Too funny!

    I just received a villa sibi from my husband for Christmas and it was an incredible and happy surprise! Believe it or not, we got it for $300 from a toy store in Brooklyn -- it was their floor model. In great condition, just a little dusty. Question -- the dining table has four chairs, right? Ours came with three only. Great blog!

    Hi fernbaum,

    Yes, the dining set should have 4 chairs. Congrats on the great purchase! I'm totally jealous! ha ha! Let me know if you get custom furniture for your Sibi.

    Best to you!
