Dream Home, Small Home
I'm only a week late in sharing the photos I took on my visit to The Museum of Sydney last weekend with my Co-Editor...
('Dream Home, Small Home'. How could we not?)
Especially when I spotted this as I entered the exhibition:
More info on the ready-cut cottages can be found on the Sydney Living Museums website (and of a local one, which is used as part of an artists' residency, on the TaMS website). And I'll stop there with the links, as that's a rabbit hole I could very easily fall down.
The exhibition included lots of fabulous magazine and newspaper articles and promotions featuring DIY homes from the era
including a number of plans available by mail order that the time, which would make modern miniaturists swoon...

That modernist home is inspiring (and swoon worthy)!
Wow, wish I was in Sydney, I love this sort of stuff. That little house is so cute! I have a huge collection of Woman's Weekly and Home Beautiful magazines from the 50s. I just love that optimistic spirit these little houses seem to have. Great you found one in miniature!
Oh no! I won't get there :-( I would so like to see that model house .... but there's no way I'll get to Sydney in the next 5 days.
Oh well, I least I can enjoy your wonderful photos of it :-D
