- Ep 34- Auction win leads to miniature passion
Meet Michael Hogan. He is a collector of dollhouse miniatures, focusing on museum quality artisan made pieces. Hogan found himself immersed in the world of miniatures when he won a dollhouse at an auction for around $500. After doing some research, he discovered the house's value to be worth something around $10,000! This started a new journey into the world of miniatures. Since obtaining that first dollhouse, Michael has collected and curated several pieces including several complete dollhouses and over 25 room boxes.
The miniature creations range from Cape Cod to Georgian and Michael curates the furnishings and interiors accordingly. You can see examples of his beautiful work on Instagram at @dollhouse_miniature_interiors
