If you’re someone who owns a beautiful, fully furnished house, you’ve probably run out of ideas for what else to buy yourself.
This Etsy store has the perfect gift for homeowners who don’t know what to put under the Christmas tree this year: their own home.
Little Brick Lane makes custom scale Lego home models of buyer’s houses, and they’re pretty much perfect:
As you would probably guess, they are fairly expensive. Most models on designer Shari Austrian’s page run about $1,000, but some are almost $4,000. The price obviously changes depending on the complication of the piece and how big it is. According to Austrian’s bio, the money is secondary to her passion for Legos, which she claims she found within her own family:
Architectural design and Lego construction compliment each other so nicely. I thank my children for reintroducing me to Lego and my husband for supporting my creative passions. I thank you for allowing me to help build your dreams.
And the results of that passion speak for themselves:
Buyer reviews are extremely complimentary. A man named Michael left a beautiful review of his Lego beach house, writing, “We were so pleased with Little Brick Lane and its proprietor. The model, a replica of our beach house, exceeded expectations. The composition, scale, and detail were perfect. She was in contact with us throughout the process, confirming details and updating on status, and understood that the replica was as much sentimental as it was fun.
“She was so invested in making its unveiling a memorable experience. She is just one of those very special people that wanted her customer experience to be extraordinary, and it was! The entire process was the best it could be. I would hire her again in a minute and recommend her highly to everyone!”
Some of the houses even include little Lego figures, so people can actually play with themselves. In an extremely wholesome way, of course:
And the details are amazing. Look, they have a Peloton:
If you want a Lego dream house, you know where to go. Maybe have Little Brick lane build your future dream house if you don’t own one quite yet.
