FamilyFun.com has a really great tutorial on how to make a dollhouse out of recycled materials.
I made a similar one with my sister some thirty years ago (shhh... I'm in denial that I actually just said that), and I still remember it as a wondrous thing. Full of beautifully framed pictures, upholstered furniture, and lovely wallpaper. I'm pretty sure we'd also figured out nice floor treatments, but my memory is getting a bit foggy.
I'm planning to show this to Miss M later today. I know she will be similarly inspired!
Thanks for providing that link. The house looks like fun.
I like your site here and admire your getting rid of the TV. There are many days when I think of doing that. You're so right about watching 1 (or more) program(s); my son ALWAYS wants another.

Thank you! What's funny is I've been subscribed to your blog for a while now, but lurking as I try to learn a bit about children's book publishing -- foreign territory for me!
