MiPad is up and running

So we bought our first house a year ago, and I'm finally getting around to setting up some of my dollhouses. We've had renovations that have gotten in the way but I found a corner in this room where the MiPad now lives. I think the bathroom turned out a little too large so I'll shrink that down a bit, but for now I have a least one completed dollhouse. Many more to come as I unpack more of my minis.

It's not you, it's me.

Dear Blog, I've been cheating on you. I got hooked on Instagram and I've been neglecting you. Instagram is just so easy and fast and you well, you're slow and time consuming.

It's not over, I still want to make this work but if you want to know what I'm up to more often, follow me on Instagram @xsmodern (mini world) instagram.com/xsmodern/ or @notaneichler (real world) instagram.com/notaneichler/


So, it's been almost a year since we bought our first life size house and I'm finally finding permanent homes for my mini houses. This weekend I dusted off the MiPad, The Antrim and Kaleidoscope House. I realized I REALLY need to find some better organization options for my mini storage. It was a hot mess finding everything.

I didn't make a ton of progress but I got 80% of the furniture in place. I need to find all of the accessories.

I bought my daughter the Lori Loft to Love dollhouse and most of the extra sets. This weekend was the first time she was really interested in minis. I think I'll bring her with me to the Good Sam Show in San Jose next month.


I'm loving the Lori Accessory sets sold by Target. The bathtub is great and everything except the sectional sofa is 1:12 scale and at $13-18 you can't beat the price.


More to come as the houses get accessorized.

Target is selling Lundby?!?

I was surfing on Target.com to see if they were still selling the Loft to Love Dollhouse (they are but still not the furniture), when lo and behold what do I see... Lundby! Target is selling limited supplies of the Lundby Smaland Doll's House $99.95 and the Lundby Garden Bundle $128.75. It's exciting to see more modern dollhouse and big chain stores like Target. I really wish this was an indicator that they might start selling some furniture to go with them. Come on Target, let's get modern!

Target is killing me. Loft of Love by Our Generation. Yay Modern!!!

Target just dropped the $49.99 price for the Lori 6" Doll - Dollhouse down to $37.50!! BUT it's only sold in stores, so check if it is in stock before running to your local Target. Also called "Lori by OG Loft of Love Dollhouse" (OG is for Our Generation) it is going for RIDICULOUS prices on ebay (seriously, shame on them for selling for $175-$500!)



I'm hoping this is a new line and not just a one-off for the holiday season. The loft comes with the kitchen/bar/bar stools, but the living room, bedroom, office and outdoor furniture come in four separate sets. The furniture seems to also only be available in store and not online. On ebay the sets of furniture are selling for about $115 for all 4, Target is selling them for $12.99 each but only in some stores.

The loft fits 6" dolls and measures 18.5" tall, 20" wide and 12" deep which makes it great for 1:12 scale. It's made out of plastic and wood and requires 3 AAA batteries to operate the lamp in the kitchen.

The hubs put his foot down on yet another dollhouse unless I get rid of one, so I may have to hit up Santa to bring this one for "my kids". Heck $37.50!?!?! Who can pass that up?

(Super thanks to Modern MC and Call-small for always keeping me in the loop on new modern houses)
