I'm A Giant Challenge


Some of you may have heard about the I'm a Giant Challenge that was launched last week by HGTV Design Star winner Emily Henderson. She is challenging interior design bloggers to create their dream houses, in their own styles, in mini. Participants can choose any structure they want - new, vintage, traditional, modern, a mansion, a loft, even a cardboard box. There will be a widget to link everyone up, weekly or whenever updates, and the final reveals on December 15th. Plans are in the works for reveal parties and press coverage. How fun.

I have decided to join in by creating the ultimate Chinoiserie Chic dream house. We are talking de Gournay wallpaper, Chinese Chippendale, blue and white Chinese porcelain, the works. The hitch is it will be a real challenge for me as my experience with dollhouses has been my own Barbie Dream House and my daughter's Playmobil Victorian Mansion. Basically plastic. I have selected and ordered my dollhouse and my next update will be when I receive it and put it together.

Everyone is invited to participate in this by decorating your own dollhouse - bloggers, interior designers, design enthusiasts, dollhouse and miniature hobbyists, and all you blog followers. Any of you on board? Here is the information. If any of you have ideas or wisdom for me, please share. I am super excited about this and can't wait to get started. (My scale is 1:12 BTW, I have learned that much.)
