I often find myself studying houses in my travels. When I notice something about a house that reflects a vintage design, classic line, or unique feature, I find myself drawn to it and when time allows I'll stop by and try to get a closer look or snap a photograph.

Have you ever discovered a real life house that you think would make the perfect dollhouse or miniature scale replica?
