Traditional wooden dolls house

[Where to find?]

It's my daughter's birthday soon and we're thinking of getting her a doll's house but I haven't seen any nice ones anywhere.

Has anyone noticed any shops seling the traditional wooden ones?

[could]

you could get one made to your own design?

once i was at a friends in usa who had an awesome dollhouse shaped bookcase. i was in love but she said it was from pottery barn and once i looked on the website realised it was way out of my price range. but luckily pottery barn put all measurements on the website. i took a picture along with all measuements to a carpenter and had one made. looked the exact same as the real one my friend had and i saved like $300 usa dollars doing it.

The wooden toy shop in Tanglin or Taka have them, or ELC.

[where to find?]

Didn't like the one in Tanglin though the one in ELC may be an option. Have heard about a toy shop in Vivo City with wooden toys. Does anyone know where exactly it is and whether it's likely to stock any?

Thanks...

I bought a wooden Victorian dollshouse for my daughter at a big toy shop in Takashimaya 4th level. I got the basic one (2 floors + the room under the roof) and also the extension (another floor). However, it is just plain wood, so I actually painted it blue and white (and grey for the roof), added some wallpaper and carpets, and now it looks absolutely gorgeous!!

I have also seen quite a nice pink wooden dollshouse in ELC, but it is much smaller than ours.

I think the wooden toy shop in Taka is the same one as in Tanglin - not 100% sure though.

We have the Victorian one, same as the above poster. Everyone comments on how lovely it is, friends/reletives from UK have all raved about it.

Good luck with your search.
