I took new pictures of my Frida Kahlo dollhouse for you 🙂
Dollhouses need a deep cleaning once in a while, just like regular houses.
I use canned air because it’s so practical.
When all the dust goes away everything look so nice 🙂
Here are the pictures for you:
I made this house for my daughter Natalie many years ago.
The house itself comes from an unfinished wooden kit that I purchased called:
I made some changes to the original kit.
Then, many of the objects in the house I made from different materials.
The rest of them are little treasures that I collected from here and there.
When we have visitors in our home, specially kids, this dollhouse
comes to life because they love to play with it.
Dollhouses are lots of fun for kids and adults 🙂
Qué preciosa Elsita!!! Yo creo que a Frida le hubiera encantado vivir ahí adentro 🙂
Just beautiful!
So incredible and so beautiful! I was re-watching the Salma Hayek movie about her this past weekend. I adore Frida and her artwork! This inspires me to have my older students make dollhouse versions of some of their favorite artists! Thank you soo much for sharing all of your amazing work!
What a perfect house you created in honour of Frida. It is just more than fantastic. It is …..
Can’t find the word but you just be very proud of yourself for making this gem.
Have a lovely day.
That is so precious, Elsa. It puts my brain to working on something for my granddaughter. jan
Thanks Elsa! You have made me look and think about small things – in a completely new way…
I love it!

The Frida house is what brought me to your blog, originally. I love it so much! I can’t even imagine how much time you spent on it. Thanks so much for the new photos, there are so many details to see!
WoW!!!
muy hermoso!!
This is freaking AMAZING!! I know this is lovingly made for your daughter but it really looks like it belongs in a museum! I adore pouring over each photo and noticing all the details you added I am blown away.(A fun note is that I used to have that tea set when I was little!). Btw I am still enjoying your Rain Girl print I purchased….I just love it.
It looks like you based your house on Frida’s house in the suburbs of Mexico City. Have you been there? If you haven’t, it is really quite wonderful and there is a gallery space with her painted diary. Her kitchen was fabulous, too. And there is a mini pyramid in a walled garden, and an upstairs studio filled with light overlooking it. Just a wonderful house. From what I have read, this was the house she inherited from her parents. Her father was a Dr. She and Diego Rivera also lived in a modern apartment not far from from this house. We made a point to visit all of Diego Rivera’s murals and the house while in Mexico City. It was the art tour.
amazing detail in this little doll house wonder. and she sure does keep it clean.; )
Your Frida house is amazing! I love Frida and wish I could see her real house too:)
just found your blog. I love it. the doll house is the best. thanks for sharing.
Love it, I think it captures her scent in a way.
this is so outstanding. you really just opened up a creative door in my mind i never even knew was there. really, truly, amazing. *love*
This is absolutely amazing! Such a clever idea and so beautifully done 🙂 Thank you for putting a smile on my face.
Hi! This is so beautiful! I stumble across your site a few months ago; I love reading your posts. They are always uplifting and inspirational. You are very talented. My dream is to have my own studio one day.
Love the dollhouse! That ladder is adorable!
I am coming to stay in this house- sleep on the bed with the white canopy. see you december 23-27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY-

Desperately trying to work out the scale of this Dollhouse (which is amazing!!)…please can you post an image so we get an idea of scale – stick a ruler or a hand or something in it!

This is incredible!
Wow! This is fabulous…I can’t stop looking at it!
Honesty is the moral foundation of society.
The detail is fabulous-love every corner.
I also made a doll house from a kit back in 1992. It’s so dusty and I was thinking about storing it, but maybe I’ll do something different to it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Just found your blog through flickr. This is AMAZING! Thanks for sharing all the close up photos of the gorgeous little details. Amazing work!
the first was crying because you’re not, the second laughing because meet you, third smiling tears because can’t have you.
It’s one I’ll remember. It’s so inspiring and gives me a new perspective on challenges in life. I will especially remember this line, “As long as I wake up to a new day every morning, no matter what the circumstances are, I am always sure that everything will be alright.” Thank you for being so willing to share.
I’m Frida’s fan and I like your dollhouse, amazing!
Posted on It reminded me of the case of Sanjay, Geeta Chopra, two young kids, who were kipdapned in Delhi, in 1978. Their kidnappers, Ranga, Billa tried to abuse Geeta and Sanjay stood upto them. Both were killed by Ranga Khus (Kuljeet Singh), and Billa (Jasbir Singh), their kidnappers. Fortunately, they were caught and punished sentenced to death, hanged in 1982. I hope Reuben & Keenan’s murderers do meet the same fate swiftly. Feel sad that people do not show courage to stop such hoodlums.My heart goes to the bereaved families, friends. May God give the strength to overcome the sorrow, and help you fight the case to the end. We must not let the criminals get away free, at any cost.

Brandi, after meeting you and Avya the other day I intlansty knew I had met a special twosome. And now as I’ve been slowly working my way through your blog posts, I am absolutely positive of that. I got chills while reading this entry. I am SO incredibly happy that you two will be moving into this house. I must be honest, at first, I was not too thrilled about the fact that we would be relocating once again. I, too envisioned this house as a great home…. but now I feel happy and at peace because I’m pretty sure that everything was meant to happen this way, and you two are meant to be the true tenants. I wish you lots of happiness and laughter in your new home!
I don’t know how Housemate and I ended up living ttgoeher, but I do remember that the main selling points of the flat were (in order)1.) Close proximity to work.2.) Close proximity to Primark.3.) Close proximity to Absolute Bastard.4.) Interestingly-coloured walls (kind of like the ones that interior design programme with Lawrence Llwelyn Bowen always used to do back in the nineties and that always seemed to look good with chopped up bits of disco ball stuck to them).So as you can see, Housemate was not part of the appeal.However, I am not bothered by the 70s reference, as there are many good things about the 1970s, such as Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads and men with impressively coiffed hair and sideburns. However, I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue was not one of them. I am generally against talking on the radio unless it’s the shipping news, and that’s only because I am never up early enough to hear it.
DianaCostaaa on November 7, 2011 My favorite food is Spaghetti Bolognese, can eat that all day, and my mom does the best, now i want to eat some, annynnnnh :3Awesome giveaway btw ♥♥♥♥
Don’t like the new bagels. We would phusrace a dozen every Sunday for breakfast.Tried the new kinds today.Will be looking for a new place.I don’t like bagels made with whole grain flour they just aren’t bagels. Maybe we’re just traditionalists plain, sesame or poppy. No raisins, poblanos, oranges.My kids described the plain as weird sour and the wrong kind of chewy . I agreed. They have a totally different taste and texture and no one liked them. We ended up throwing them out (and I HATE wasting food) and had cereal for breakfast instead.Boo!!
Loved the bagels you had erofbe! Agree with other poster everyone in my family requests plain poppyseed bagels (no orange). Offer the other flavors, but keep the basics.
I’m so jealous i love Frida Kahlo a lot and those rings and sprtcaods are so amazing. Is there any information if this exhibition is going to travel trough Europe or anything? Otherwise I might fly to Sweden to see it haha. You must have had a great time visiting this Exhibition!
Beautiful post. It’s great that her talent is not only roeigncsed in Mexico but the rest of the world too. She’s one of those artists that show that Mexico has a lot to offer and I thank her for that

io non capisco tutta ueqsta disapprovazione da parte della gente lo sparatutto su binari un genere come l adventure, action ecc.non potete dire che da sala giochi solo perch nato li. Forse pu nn piacervi come gusti personali ma non si pu dire che deve restare nelle sala giochi, xk c gente (cm me)a cui il genere piace e trova sul wii il meglio di se
And to think I was going to talk to someone in pseron about this.
