Emerson upstairs 2
Emerson upstairs 3: I am beginning to know who lives here: the woman who designed and built this house. Semi-retired, she still works as an architect., sometimes entertains friends, and lives with a companion animal or two, here in the woods (pretend).

Night Two 3: the kitchen at night . In the '70s I wrote a poem calling dollhouses "little altars". They are that, to me, in a way. And I love - in this dollhouse -the hearth with its sacred flame.

Elsa sits down to her laptop. The glass of wine is a gift from the Boston Marriage dollhouse gals.
Emerson dining room 1: My old Lundby dining set is quite at home in this house.
Emerson dining room 2: The trees are all outside the house but they feel inside. (This house would be wonderfull in a real (or fake!) forest setting.) Meanwhile, that left-hand wall would be a good place for ...a painting? a weaving? a mirror? or..
Emerson dining room 3: The minimalist dollhouse-in-a-dollhouse.
Shoji screens needed: the bathroom at present
Lundby Eames chair and footstool found!
Trying it for size 1
Trying it for size 2: I've never given any of my dolls a TV set, but it's tempting to put a big shiny black flatscreen on that wall she's staring at. She does't watch much TV, but admits to having a thing for Downton Abbey. And Cosmos 2.
