The Birthday Present Dollhouse

This is a project I worked on with my husband, we love to make handmade gifts and decided to make a dollhouse for our little niece. I bought the 'Sugarplum' dollhouse kit made by Greenleaf. We followed most of the directions, but did make a few modifications.

Here is a photo montage of the fabrication process…
