For the Child at Heart– A Dollhouse Built with Love (and a Few Laughs)

Handcrafted dollhouse kit assembled by David Ellis Construction, in Nanaimo BC — built with care, patience, and a touch of humour for his niece.

A whimsical dollhouse project reminding us that craftsmanship (and laughter) comes in all sizes.

Sometimes, even the smallest builds come with the biggest smiles. For the Child at Heart began when Dave was contracted to assemble a dollhouse kit for his niece — a project that turned into a blend of fine craftsmanship, patience, and playful teamwork.

Though tiny in scale, every miniature wall, window, and shingle was treated with the same precision as any full-sized project. What started as a fun family favour quickly became a reminder of why we love building — because whether it’s a dream home or a dollhouse, the joy is in the details.


Features and Materials:

  • Dollhouse kit carefully assembled and finished with attention to detail

  • Reinforced joints and precision placement for long-lasting playtime durability

  • Proof that no project is too small when built with heart (and a steady hand!)


Result: The result? One thrilled niece, a few chuckles during construction, and a reminder that every builder — no matter how experienced — is still a kid at heart. For the Child at Heart celebrates creativity, craftsmanship, and the simple joy of making something special for someone you love.
