The Kinfeld doll’s house shown in full with grand double doors at the entrance.
Out of the four doll’s houses I have designed and built, the Kinfeld is by far the largest and most pristine. With three floors, ten rooms and two porches, I thought it would never be finished, but here it is complete and now sold. Before it heads off to its new owner, I thought I would share a feature article about this build.
It started while I was working on doll’s houses that were meant to be aged and worn. I desired a house that was clean in design. After swooning over a few Victorian houses online, I found three that inspired me and I drew up plans.
The exterior is a mix of features from those houses, but the interior is from my imagination. I envisioned an old Victorian fixer-upper in modern times.
