The Astolat Dollhouse Castle #DollHouseCastle

Goovinmoms recently went to see The Astolat Dollhouse Castle.    When we got the invite to view this dollhouse we both wondered what could be so special about this dollhouse.  How could it be considered the most valuable dollhouse in the world?  I mean a dollhouse is a dollhouse…nothing special.

However, when we came face to face with The Astolat Dollhouse Castle we quickly  realized why this dollhouse was not just your regular girls dollhouse.  This dollhouse is the “MOST VALUABLE DOLLHOUSE IN WORLD!”1025141155a (1)

The Astolat Dollhouse Castle was designed and built by famed Colorado miniaturist Elaine Diehl with help from experts and miniature artisans from around the globe. It was modeled and named after the Castle in Tennyson’s Lady of the Shallot and took more than thirteen years to originally complete. Since that time it has been updated and thousands of new furnishings and fixtures have been added.

Details, it’s all about the details.  IMG_70351 IMG_7027110204_2We loved looking through the dollhouse windows into the perfectly decorated rooms.  The dollhouse just seemed so real.
