Interior Design, 17th Century Style

Click on the image above to see more detail of what can only be called one awesome dollhouse. Made in the 17th century for Petronella Oortman, a wealthy Amsterdam lady, I’d argue that this was where she stored some of her ideas about interiors she loved (similar to the blogworld, or our clipping files). As much as we’re different we are the same. More here.
