Welcome to the story of The Kinfeld.
This is the story of a one-of-a-kind dollhouse. Inspired by a few real Victorian houses and a unique little family (to be introduced at a later time) this blog is a documentation of a miniaturist with a love for building, creating, and story telling.
There will be building tips, opportunities to purchase special items, a photo journal of the little family and their life in the house, and who knows what else!
Follow the Kinfeld and enjoy the process of a miniature build and a big imagination.
