Well, anyone that feels like sending me pictures for inspiration, PLEASE do! It’s so cool how so many people are excited about this!

I designed my own dollshouse out of two sets of book-cases after reading “The Secret in Miranda’s Wardrobe” — it occupied me and my sister for years, decorating the rooms, placing furniture, creating knick-knacks from scraps found around the house and food from Fimo. Make-up compacts make great vanity dressers! We even had tiny LED lightbulbs put in by my dad and run off a car battery. It was a thing of glory and by the time I was 13 or 14, my friends would still want to play with it whenever they came round.

[...] have to capture a squirrel. I think Nefarious will be very excited to see what Caitlin has gotten herself though and that will win out over animal [...]

I have (almost) the same dollhouse, from when I was a kid. Looks like yours has the little electrical outlets, too — mine used to have little working lights that plugged into those, but they broke and I can’t really find new ones, unfortunately. But maybe you could. :)
I’d love to see what it looks like when you’ve redecorated it!

I think you could turn the lower levels into a pretty kick ass 50′s style bungalow.

If I did what I was thinking I’d mostly just be using one square room so I wouldn’t need the actual house, but finding the right pieces is a pain! I’m not sure why there’s not someone out there making a bigger variety of miniatures. Most of the sites I looked at when I went through my initial phase were just offering, for instance, one white man and one white woman, one black man and one black woman, one elderly man and one elderly woman, etc.

NOPE! It was listed on Kijiji. I used Shannon’s Craigslist hunting tool to find it-it’s on his page and it works super well, although I found it hard to figure out initially and was glad he sits beside me all the time.

OMG. I am so excited for you and can’t wait to see lots of pictures. Where did you get this from? Craigslist?

I designed the rooftop garden tonight, it required 3 sheets of paper and lots of markers. I also painted 2 cardboard cones (the kind that yarn is wound on) green for fir trees.

2 fat rubber babies are on the roof now, one is eating and one is chilling in the hot tub.
