Did you hold your breath while Chloe Warner attempted to mount the world's smallest floating bookshelves? Or tear up when Amy Sklar created an ode to her miniaturist mother with a layered dollhouse? Marvel at Breegan Jane's three-inch "brass"-trimmed shower? If you're a lover of all things miniature and were as enthralled by House Beautiful's Dollhouse Beautiful series as we were, good news: You can now bid to own one of the six dollhouses featured on Season 2 of the series, which sees top designers outfitting their smallest projects yet.

Dollhouses by Chloe Warner, Breegan Jane, Amy Sklar, Joyce Downing Pickens, Melissa Warner Rothblum, and Jenna Cooper will be auctioned today on Charitybuzz to raise funds for the Los Angeles-based nonprofit P.S. Arts.

P.S. Arts's mission is to provide access to arts education for children in underserved communities through programs in dance, music, theater, and visual arts. And as far as we're concerned, the brand's motto—"We have the freedom to imagine; we have the power to create"—couldn't be more appropriate for a Dollhouse Beautiful partnership. After all, there was no bigger driving force behind the creation of these six miniature marvels than imagination and creativity.

"P.S. Arts is thrilled to be the beneficiary of House Beautiful's Dollhouse Beautiful: California initiative this year. This project perfectly captures our motto, showcasing just one of the many ways we can use the arts and creativity as a tool to further careers and our wellbeing," says trustee Amy Zoller, who collaborated with her team at Jenna Cooper L.A. to create one of the dollhouses on the block.

"We love the 'zen Cali vibe' of Amy's dollhouse, which perfectly epitomizes the California midcentury modern aesthetic (and how about that miniature Calder-inspired mobile!), and we are so grateful to Amy and the team at Jenna Cooper LA for the thoughtfulness and dedication to this project," says P.S. Arts CEO Dr. Kristen Paglia.

Bidding for each of the houses starts at $525—a bargain when you consider the time, labor, and materials (hello, real designer wallpaper and handmade accessories) that went into the dollhouses, which are valued at $2,500 each. The auction runs through June 29, so miniature enthusiasts and design lovers have two weeks to cast a bid for their favorite house. Click here to start bidding now!
