Dollieh Sanctuary

NO! Don't give me any ideas! My walk-in is already going to be full with the 1/6 sized Barbie Dream Dungeon...

Well, you could get rid of your clothes and open another closet up. Or your sheets and towels. After all, what's more important?
I know: Buy a house. A big house. Live in one room and make everything else be for the dolliehs.

Oh no. We're looking for a house. So that's what the extra bedroom is for...

That's it.
In fact, if you keep coming here, soon you'll need more than just one extra room.
Ah, well. Forewarned is forearmed, as they say...

At first, you buy a nice little chair for your 1/3 to sit in. Next you buy a little sofa, because it isn't fair to leave the other dolliehs standing. Then they need a bed. Maybe two beds. And the sofa and chair need some little side tables for you to put lamps on, and maybe a footstool. Next, of course, they have to have a table to eat at. And dishes to eat from. And, of course they need a wardrobe for all those clothes you bought them, and on and on it goes. Their house is your house, or vice-versa. Soon you can't walk without looking down because you don't want to kick any of the dolliehs' things...

so true...

Since Manderson came out of the closet my dolls won't go back in...

I actually have to store spare toys in the shower, I have a separate tub, and I have so much doll stuff that I can't immediately think if I still have a playset I haven't seen in 20 years. It is hard to walk around my room without seeing or avoiding bumping in to something that can be connected to the dolls. At the last house I had the resins sitting in a stroller, couldn't find a pram or nice chair for them. With only 3 SDs and 3 MSDs the pram idea isn't completely gone. They could be out but I could move them out of the way if I needed floor space.

Anyone have high enough ceilings where their doll construction can go up instead of out?
