If you lived for your dollhouse as a kid, chances are that desire to poke your big face into tiny rooms never went away. For some collectors, it's become an oversize passion. And with age, skill and resources, come some really amazing miniature creations. Take, for example, this hobbit house, built by Maddie Chesterfield. In between caring for her newborn twins, she created this mini model of Bilbo Baggins's Lord of the Rings hobbit hole. Covered in moss and wired for electric lamplighting, the home is an imagined version of the coziest little hideaway ever.
