Dollhouse Styles

Where do you begin when selecting a dollhouse?  I would suggest determining which style you want.  Typically it is best to decide based on your current taste and how you decorate in your full scale house.  Are you country, modern, colonial, medieval, Victorian or oriental in your decor style?  Also keep in mind if you are looking for a replica, a character-themed house, a kit, or custom-made.  Do you want a half inch or an inch to scale house?  As a warning an inch to scale dollhouse takes up lots of space unless it is collapsable.  Here are some ideas of some for-sale dollhouses and some that will probably never leave a museum case.  Perhaps one day I will check out Colleen Moore's famous Fairy Castle located in Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry (around 9 feet tall).
