There's still room in my Chicago class. If you'd like to try landscaping in 1:144 scale, why not join us for this fun and easy project? For details, go to: http://www.bishopshow.com/chi15ws41.htm

The Subtle Edwardians - It's a joke, folks. They went way beyond the late Victorians in piling on every gewgaw and treasure they could stuff in room.

INSPIRATION PHOTOS:

Miniature artist Hannah Lemon's houseplants were a big hit, earning her a spot on season 2 of Best in Miniature. Learn more in the full interview!

This little slice of paradise features soothing neutral colors and relaxing touches that will make you feel like you're on vacation every day. We wanted this room box to feel like a true retreat…

This room was inspired by the Martin Puryear artwork. Last year, I put together an assortment of miniature Sketch Chairs and broke one of them during the process. It was the leg of the chair that I broke beyond repair. I was forced to shorten all of the legs to sad stumps. However, I am glad that I didn't discard this broken chair because it looks pretty good here next to the image of the Puryear sculpture. I took quick pictures of the scene above at two different times of the day and didn't expect any great images. Somehow I lucked out. In the end, I couldn't decide which lighting I preferred so many of them are posted here. The Goods: The sofa is an ebay find; the chair is Sketch Chair, the coffee tables are brinca dada and PRD; the side table is PRD; the shelving unit is Logan Hendrickson of One Forty Three; the anglepoise lamp is Just Mustard; the art is Martin Puryear; all accessories are Mini Dork, Re-Ment, Peter Tucker, Bozart Toys, The Hairy Potter, and Diamond Select.

I'm so glad that everyone is enjoying all the pictures. It is hard to believe that tomorrow will be a week since I first flew to Chicago. Time is flying by so quickly. Some of you were wondering just how large The Accolade roombox was...well here is a picture of the exterior. Sorry it isn't the best picture and it still doesn't show a good scale, but remember that the dolls are about 6 inches tall and you get a really good idea of the size. Oh, and curious as to just how big this show really is? Well here are a few pictures showing the three different rooms. I couldn't get the whole rooms because they are huge, but this should give you an idea of just how many people are at this show. This show represents 230 exhibitors from 34 US States and 17 countries. WOW!! That is a lot of minis, and my feet felt like I had toured the globe at the end of the day on Saturday. Now...how about some more pretty pics to look at. In the hall outside the showrooms were two large dollhouses done by JL Signature Homes (don't have a website). Talk about some craftsmanship. The first home was called The Helmrich. OK...just look at that staircase in the foyer. You still have your drool napkins from last night? They might come in handy here. The trim work in the rooms was equally as impressive. The second house by them was The Brandywine. This house has one of the most amazing central stairways I have ever seen in a dollhouse. Sigh...so pretty. Me want!! Many of you may be familiar with Ron Hubble (http://www.ronhubble.com/index.html). He makes some beautiful custom furniture and his fabrics are always the best. Here are a few roomboxes and displays he had set up. Such pretty eye candy. I spent a lot of time with my hand over my mouth looking at all these minis. If I hadn't covered my mouth, I'm sure something would have flown right on in there. Most of my time was spent with my mouth open in amazement. I'm off to look at pictures, clean up some more to share and remember all the fun I had in Chicago. Tomorrow will be my last official blog post about this trip, but I'm sure I'll have more to share as I think of things. Till later!

Psst ... we've got the scoop on a hidden exhibit of 68 mini interiors. Not your average dollhouses, they'll captivate your kids for a full afternoon.

For centuries, dollhouses were less of a toy in the corner of the playroom, and more of a work of art.
