My wife and I lived in New Mexico for 22 years before ending up back east but we left our hearts there so we only occasionally get to go back to visit (by train). So now, after 48 years of marriage, she has decided she must have an adobe dollhouse with real southwest furniture and accessories. The dollhouse will not be the problem. A fellow model RR club member who makes spectacular custom model RR buildings has offered to make her a 1:12 scale one at a wonderful price. It will have 5 rooms on 2 stories, stuccoed 2' scale outer walls, real full length vigas made of saplings from his back yard trees, real custom cut wood plank floors, custom made windows and doors and fully wired. It will take him 3 months to build. So what's the problem with a deal like that? Well, finding southwest style furniture, lighting, and accessories seems to be the biggest issue now. Considering how many adobe house images we have found on the net, finding furniture and accessories is harder than finding dollhouse forums or local stores these days. Now, I know we can buy custom furniture at custom prices but we're not the US treasury. In fact, my friend makes miniature furniture that can duplicate real furniture down to the fancy wood used, real scale dadoing behind curved front drawers, clawfoot chairs, real glass cabinets, and custom paint and staining. His prices reflect that work. We can't afford that either since we not only need furniture but all the accessories too. If anyone knows sites or individuals who make miniatures of southwestern design, we'd sure like to know. I'm a retired computer guy and have used the net since it started so I know how to find things (and even looked on Mexican and China sites) but have found very little that is suitable or even adaptable. The only southwestern style lamp e.g. was one with a Cherokee design but it's no longer made. Thanks on advance for any help.
