1martinimomma Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Interesting article in House Beautiful regarding the building of the Sharp Objects dollhouse. I hadn't heard of this HBO series. https://www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/a22854241/sharp-objects-dollhouse/?src=nl&mag=hbu&list=nl_hbn_news&date=082918 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Uber creepy! Now I'll have to go look for the book (no HBO in our house). I wonder who built their dollhouse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1martinimomma Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 All I can find is a model shop made it. Here is another article with more pictures of the house. No HBO at my house either.... http://www.vulture.com/2018/08/sharp-objects-amma-dollhouse.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Wow, interesting, thanks for sharing. Seems it would have saved a lot of time and money to have just made it 1:12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini maniac Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 yeah, I saw that. Why not build a 1:12 scale? and why did it cost so much to make? Over 6 figures? Wow! I wish they had more pics and details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debsrand56 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Very interesting articles! I guess they had logical reasons for the scale they picked, but I'm sure that contributed to the cost. I'll have to check this series out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Ha Ha, Colleen, you and I must be on the same wave length. I posted this yesterday in the dollhouse in movies thread. It is too bad it doesn't bump it up. I watched it and it is a weird story. I have some other links in my post.....I think I ruined it for @Sable by not warning about the spoilers. (Sorry). http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/?app=forums&module=forums&controller=topic&id=40635&page=5#comment-676592 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s ok, I’m keeping the surprise ending from my husband so he is safe. Surely, it will be fun watching his reaction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qubanqtee Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 oooo I think we have HBO - I need to look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad they didn't do the house in 1:12. They could have just bashed the kit and saved some money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 For six figures, I would have liked better flooring, lol. The exterior is lovely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any flooring other than teeth would have been nice, but I think that was the point of the story. An ivory floor doesn't make any sense to me.

INteresting. Ok I STILL think the flooring (especially with the backstory) could have been better...it looks like armstrong linoleum.

WyckedWood Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I thought the same thing Jenn lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 We watched the first episode last night, I actually really liked it. The first shot of the interior of the dollhouse was disappointing tho, thought it would be a little more grand to match the exterior.

amyole Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 We read this for our book club last year and none of us liked the story. Even though there is a dollhouse in it - normally a huge draw for me - I cannot watch it knowing what the story is about. So disappointing after "Gone Girl" which I really liked.

WyckedWood Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 For filming they should have built the house as a shell in 3/4 scale but then made the room scenes to shoot individually in 1/12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyckedWood Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 A few years ago someone on the forum mentioned the movie/book Lovely Bones. Same type of thing..disturbing storyline but of course I had to watch it and read the book because it had dollhouses in it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qubanqtee Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I got to the 3rd episode and then thought - why am I watching this? I found it really disturbing and since I already saw the house I stopped lol. I'm not one to be squiermish but this one bothered me. But the house is super cool!
