I love cross sectioned houses so much. It's one part love of miniatures, architecture, interior design, the sense that there's a whole universe contained inside a nutshell or a tree root or something, and that that whole universe is beautiful and cozy and safe. It's a confluence of a couple of different things, I think. Thank you for this amazing resource of books to collect!
I sell it as a much bigger print at conventions but the shipping of bigger prints is more of a hassle online so I only ship the postcard for the time being.
thanks for posting this, I am literally going to use this as a source to look for these books for my personal library.
Thanks for sharing your link, Kellyanne! I love the postcard— such a detailed drawing and haunted house cross-sections are a favorite subgenre haha. On that note, are you familiar with southern gothic dollhouse? It’s incredible https://www.southerngothicdollhouse.com
Hi! I wanted to share the outlines now, but I can not seem to be upload pictures/ images as a response! I will post it later (hopefully the finished version) and tag you within the post.
Love this so much! I love cutaway houses so much that my husband painted one of our house for me for Christmas one year. I treasure it.
Oh my gosh, what a thoughtful gift. Would love to see it if you’re willing to share!
Best post ever. Thank you.
Wonderful post!!! Big fan of these. The music video for Protection by Massive Attack is another gorgeous example of the cutaway apartment art
Ooh thanks for the tip, i’ll look it up!

I didn’t know they were called cutaway houses but I have loved them my WHOLE LIFE! ❤️
May as-well cancel all other substacks. This post will do me for life now. Thank you so much!!
Haha! Thanks for you kind words—it was a pleasure to spend my time compiling so much worthwhile art 💚
The Bedspread, a children’s book by Sylvia Fair, has at least one excellent cutaway house illustration!
love love love and have always loved
Wow! That’s a lot. Thanks for making me appreciated the art of these pieces

I remember the Winnie The Witch ones so well!!!
Amazing
couldn’t be more honored for the mention 🤍
Cutaways are my absolute all-time favourite too! And probably started with Barbapapa’s House 🤍
Not sure how to post photos in comments but I have quite a few I could add to this gorgeous thread
I'm not sure either--maybe it can't be done? You could definitely post links to share though!
