The Wee House is for sale!!
This is your chance to own a piece of Paris. My jaw dropped the first time I saw the WeeHouse. I love the kitchen and that gorgeous floating woodstove. So cool with so many possibilities. Here's more information on the house if anyone is interested in making Paris an offer before he puts it up on ebay.This model was created for an exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Museum called 'Imagine Living big in a small House', part of an overall Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit that was shown for the better part of last year. It was built at Feyereisen Studios in Minneapolis, Minnesota (www.feyereisenstudios.com)
A unique model, as it's a one-of-a-kind signed by the artist Paris Renfroe. The original design is by Alchemy Architects in St. Paul, Mn. The model comes with it's own landscaped base with concrete/like finish, deck, outdoor bench, built in floating kitchen wall unit with built in lighting, floating woodstove, and LCD (non working) screen mounted to interior wall. Interior furnishings shown in photos are not included. The 'cable' on the railing has been damaged, but it's actually just silver elastic cord which Paris can send you for replacement. There are a total of 8 sliding bypassing doors allowing access from either side of the structure. The exterior is an authentic rust finish, and the interior is trimmed in Douglas Fir.
The dimensions are 32" wide, 28" deep, by 18" high. Weight of the whole structure including the base is around 35lbs.
Please contact Paris with any questions regarding this collectible piece. Item will ship from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Local pick up is available, please submit all reasonable offers to Paris Renfroe paris@parisrenfroedesign.com This house needs to go to a good home, and has been kept in storage for the past year or so. The item will be listed on Ebay soon if no offers come through.

MCHUCLA: Contemporary Beach House 1 by Jeffrey Alan Marks and Elizabeth Dinkel
Here is one of the 10 custom dollhouses featured in the Designer Dollhouse Showcase at the Kaleidocsope Ball that helped to raise almost $1.8 million for UCLA Mattel Children's Discovery and Innovation Institute. This is the Contemporary Beach House 1 by Jeffrey Alan Marks and Elizabeth Dinkel. Click on the images to enlarge.
Jeffrey Alan Marks designed the first floor, including a dining room, kitchen, living room, and gym, in his now signature color scheme of breezy blues. The design features custom dollhouse furniture modeled after Marks’ actual furniture line with Palecek, with the living room including Marks’ “Spindrift Sofa”, “Spindrift Chair”, “Brockton Coffee Table” and “Bryant Lounge Chairs” and the gym utilizes Marks’ “Wind & Sea Folding Screen” to create a private massage area. In addition to the Miniature versions of Jeffrey’s Palecek Furniture, the living room includes a custom wool and silk area rug inspired by vintage Fortuny fabric and provided by Decorative Carpets, while the private massage room includes walls covered in custom de Gournay “Fish” wallpaper, replicating Jeffrey’s personal kitchen and two massage tables covered in Cowtan & Tout Linen. Credits go to PRD Miniatures, Monte Allen, Cowtan & Tout, Decorative Carpets, and Larsen for their contributions to the design.
Elizabeth Dinkel designed the second floor combining the spare and minimalist elements of a modern beach house with the natural beauty of the Pacific Ocean as her backdrop. Her design features clean, modern white lines paired with the some of the more organic tones found in the natural world. She designed the space with a professional art collecting couple who use their house to escape city life and catch their breath in mind. Her intent was to design a house that is sophisticated architecturally but not too fussy or overly serious.
I pretty much want everything in this house. The architectural deisgn of this house won me over with that open staircase. Not ideal for kids or drinking house guests, but why sacrafice saftey for stlye? (It's only a model). How many pieces of PRD Miniatures and minimodernistas can you find? The heartbreak of this house, is there weren't any good pictures of the bathroom. I can see glimpses of a custom PRD Miniatures bathroom suite, but I want to see more! Next year, I'll have to go in person to see all of the amazing details.

MCHUCLA: Monique Lhuillier NY Flagship Boutique by Monique Lhuillier
Here is another of the 10 custom dollhouses featured in the Designer Dollhouse Showcase at the Kaleidocsope Ball that helped to raise almost $1.8 million for UCLA Mattel Children's Discovery and Innovation Institute. Here is the Monique Lhuillier NY Flagship Boutique by Monique Lhuillier. Click on the images to enlarge.
Monique Lhuillier designed a replica of her New York flagship boutique intact with the former private residence’s grandeur of an old world townhouse. Spanning three floors, the townhouse offers the bridal collection on the entire ground floor, the ready-to-wear collection on the second and the VIP custom area on the third floor. Iridescent paintings by Nancy Lorenz and custom mirrors and tables add just a hint of sparkle, while the two commissioned pieces by New York sculptor Silas Seandel are truly one-of-a-kind. Taking cues from the original structure, Lhuillier creates a sophisticated environment in the world of grey, using luxurious fabrics, furnishings and art to showcase the true stars in the boutique, her signature gowns and collections. The dollhouse includes grey suede walls, recreations of the Monique Lhuillier Waterford chandeliers, inspired by the delicate beadwork of Monique’s signature gowns, and organic hammered stainless steel cabinets, made especially for the bridal salon. All furniture for the townhouse has been recreated by the renowned craftsmen at Kensington Dollhouse Festival.
I adore the chandeliers. I'm not quite sure what "organic hammered stainless steel" means but the cabinets are pretty cool. I would love to own the white club chairs on the 3rd floor. Below are more exterior shots and zoomed out shots.
Stephen Block and landscape designer Sherry Till complimented the townhouse design of the boutique with classic landscaping. The pair framed the boutique with box hedges for a simple but put together look which aligns perfectly with the old world charm of the home turned boutique.
