I have a tiny book, only 4 by 6 inches, full of cottage pictures. Just amazingly evocative! As for the low ceiling height... my Lovely Old Dollhouse has 9 inch ceiling heights in all the rooms. This is accurate, historically, for the more elegant early homes in New England. (The farmhouse I lived in in my teen years had only 7 foot tall ceilings in the older section of the home which was built around 1820!) Sometimes the 9 inches feels too low, but it actually does allow a decent amount of workable space..... and feels spacious too.Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-60447490639533326862011-04-04T18:54:53.017-05:002011-04-04T18:54:53.017-05:00Re the ceiling height discussion, I think the 10&q...Re the ceiling height discussion, I think the 10" height relates particularly to the ground floor, once it comes to the higher floors the rooms are getting closer to 'eye height' and so the ceiling height becomes less of an issue. Linda's right too about the depth of the room, the shallower the better probably if you are going for low ceilings, or display on a shelf rather than a table. Ooooh, you've got me thinking cozy cottage again when I need to be thinking French apartment!!!

I love the look...but would hate to live with the ceiling that close myself.....but to make our fantasy houses in miniature is what miniature making is all about.<br /> <br />I hope to see a start on this new project soon....yes????<br /><br />Linda xLinda Carswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164118723376418340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-32780105550796316982011-04-04T16:02:47.640-05:002011-04-04T16:02:47.640-05:00Catherine, our cottage had the downstairs floors d...Catherine, our cottage had the downstairs floors dug out and you could see where the huge oak beams that form a sort of skirting board once run along the original floor line. Our ceiling beams were large, but straight and made of oak and still low bearing for tall peeps! lol <br /><br />On a mini note, Hogwarts is made from a Tudor Coach House kit and the floor to ceiling measurement is only 19cms, oh so real to life! Grrrr! It IS hard work to do any work in it and yes to see in!!<br /><br />Can't wait to see what you build!<br /><br />Michelle xxxMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844807744316681870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-52751025320778871202011-04-04T15:45:30.850-05:002011-04-04T15:45:30.850-05:00This is just up my alley!

There is a real appeal to smaller spaces with low ceilings, something 'womb' like about them. There is a downside tho - looking at the clearance space above that stairway anyone above the age of 5 would have to duck or risk serious brain injury!Norma Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09601307344195166189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-74433674976357524142011-04-04T14:15:03.301-05:002011-04-04T14:15:03.301-05:00Great photos!
