As I boldly go through this 1:12 world, where few others dare…I have discovered that you pronouce Bespaq (the Chanel of dollhouse furnitures) as “Bes-park” not “Bes-pak”.

This is not a “to-mah-to”/”to-may-to” issue, or a “colour”/”color” issue.

Making this mistake is sort of like the difference between pronoucing “Hermes” as “Hermes” rather than “Er-may”, in the 1:1 world.

The dollhouse afficionado to whom I mentioned I liked the Bes-pak furniture said “Yes the Bes-park furniture is very nice. Thank you, Hyacinth - I stand here more edu-macated than previously.

Bespaq Furniture is the very thing. If only they made the same furniture at 1:1 size. Consider:

Bespaq Versailles Bedroom Suite

Or my personal favourites, the Bespaq Art Deco Moderne suites:

Bespaq Art Deco Moderne - love the colour of the satin on the left

And:

Bespaq Art Deco Moderne - anyone say Great Gatsby?

They are very striking pieces of furniture at very striking prices - $514.8 USD for the set above, so $739.21 AUD.

Not that they are probably not worth it, given the care and attention put into these pieces - the black leather on the set above is actually real leather.

For my purposes and finances, though, they are out of reach. Plus I am not sure I would want to live out my love of art deco furniture vicariously at 1:12 size.

Having said that, consider the price if they made them 12 times their 1:12 size (so at 1:1 scale) -  $6177.6 USD or $8870.52 AUD. Ouchie!

No matter what anyone tells you, size does matter. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying or…not telling the truth.

This fact of life in the 1:1 world also applies to the miniature world. To the uninitiated, this tiny little world may seem to be  one undefinable, indistinguishable mass of replicas of real life objects…which are alot smaller.

A lot smaller.

You would think that would be the end of it, right? Wrong…

In real life, objects can come in a variety of sizes (is that all?, tiny, small, medium, large, extremely large and…impressive). While over in miniature world, there are also a variety of sizes (aka scales) for objects – the sizes (or scales) are known as 1:12 (the most common), 1:24 and 1:48.

This small fact becomes important when you purchase furniture or stairs or some other component which, not realising the multiple complexities of scales, you purchase the item in the wrong scale.

Like, for example a kitchen:

Why size does matter – a 1:12 kitchen vs a 1:24 kitchen

On the left we have a 1:12 kitchen which is roughly the right size for the house, on the right a 1:24 kitchen.

Quite a significant difference, no?

(You can also see the interior walls with two coats of sealer and my puttying efforts around the window, which I will have to sand again but am putting off because it is just so damn hot at the moment: 39 degrees).

this old rickety house was her innocence

it was early mornings eating toast in the bush
evenings surrounded by smoke and sausages
it was the sound of the ocean through dreaming eyes
catching birds in boxes with peanut butter bait
