Profile

Looking more like a museum of miniature interior decoration, this quiet shop caters to a good tiptoer with a long attention span and a precocious interest in Architectural Digest. You'll find shrunken croquet and barbecue sets, Persian carpets, and do-it-yourself parquet flooring and Starbucks coffee mugs. As in real life, there's furniture for every budget—from $19 for mini bunk beds to $2,200 for a handmade, Chippendale-style breakfront.

I have known about this store since I was 10 years old. Whenever we went into the area, I would beg my mother to let us visit. Finally, after 20 years, I was finally able to enter and purchase my first miniature doll house items. The store is neat and organized. The staff is friendly and very helpful. They answered my questions and helped me pick out my bathroom, and as I walked around, I could hear and see the wonderful service they gave everyone who walked in. Even if just to see the store, I recommend that all should drop in and revisit their childhood.
