Colleen Moore’s fairy tale castle dolls’ house. Moore was one of the most successful silent film stars (famous for popularising the ‘Dutch boy’ bob), and she started creating this dolls’ house in 1928. She enlisted the help of professional planners and architects, such as Horace Jackson, the set designer at First National Studios. The entire house can be broken down into individual pieces and packed into specially designed shipping crates, and from 1935 to 1939 Moore took the dolls’ house on tour through the U.S. to help raise money for children’s charities, which proved hugely successful. Moore gave the dolls’ house to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago in 1949.

I finally have a cabinet! by MurderWithMirrors Via Flickr: I've been wanting a white Re-ment kitchen cabinet for years, but the prices were always ridiculous. Somebody was selling some Re-ment kitchen stuff for a really good price & as soon as I saw the cabinet, I grabbed it. They were also selling the appliance cabinet for an even better price, now I regret not taking that one too, but I won't be greedy & just be happy with what I got. I just wish Re-ment would be consistent in the shade of white they make things out of, the refrigerator, the kitchen unit, & the cabinet are all differents shades of white. Why????

Moved the whole thing downstairs so I could work on it in front of the telly. I grouted a small part to see how it would look. Nearly finished the roof. It's beginning to come together. by Karin Carter

Bluer than velvet by Joana Via Flickr: Approaching Autumn always has the most beautiful light, everything shines warm and the long shadows make the shrinking days feel eternal :) And, still, some prefer to enjoy this from home, like Laura ;) Postcard from the Francisco D'Olanda exhibition we attended in Madrid, vintage velvet "doily" as carpet, Menutmon bench and a lot of convention souvenirs and memories!
