Medieval miniature tower dollhouse Wolftalehall - the beginnings

In the summer of 2020 I purchased two identical wooden crates, which would become the basic structure for a medieval tower dollhouse, with a wee library in it, built from scratch.

Since buying the wooden boxed many ideas, visions and plans have been forming in my head, just waiting to be realized and assembled. About the history of the boxes I have been told that they have travelled back and forth from Austria to Egypt for a long time, and the stickers that had been attached to the boxes confirmed the story. They had been built as very strong and long lasting crates.

In a first step I have removed metal handle, angle brackets, locks, lids and aircargo stickers from the boxes to prepare them for the start of the dollhouse works.

It has been a long way from that day, but still there is a lot of work to do until medieval Wolftalehall dollhouse will be finished (or even 'look' like a dollhouse). Follow this blog for more stories of it's building and updates of the most recent works.
