Great doll house furniture book

This is one of the few doll house furniture books that has instructions for bathroom fixtures. Great patterns!

An excellent book for dollhouse fans of all ages.

It is a real shame that this book is out of print and no longer available. I searched for this book for 15 years or longer. I finally found it by describing it on the internet. (I didnt remember the authors name or book name, just pictures and things to make in the book.) By some luck, someone had a copy in almost excellent condition. This was THE book that I based every other dollhouse book on, and they couldnt compare. The people to make in this book always fascinated me as a child and I longed to fill my dollhouse with the family and their furnishings. This book should be reprinted and used as the standard for all dollhouse books! If you find a copy of this book, it is worth the price you'll pay to add to your dollhouse collection.

A classic how-to book of miniatures

This book would be a pleasure for anyone interested in doll houses. There is a charming story by the author about how her interest in all things miniature started. The pictures are inspirational. The best part of the book are the full size directions to make everything pictured. There are enough projects to fill an entire mini house and to make the family also. Everything can be made from things around the house or very inexpensive supplies. I have made all the people and some of the furniture and accessories with fantastic results. This book is perfect for the beginning through advanced hobbiest. It's really a shame that it is out of print.
