Has anyone turned a bookcase into a dollhouse? pics?

I am sorry but my digital camera is out of commision so I can't share pics. I bought a "dollhouse" bookshelf at Micheal's craft store and painted and wall papered it for my DD. You also go to an unpainted furniture store and buy a reasonably sized bookcase and do the same. I had a lot of fun painting and papering and DD likes to play in it.

We did this for my daughter but we no longer have the shelf and I didnt take pictures. We just took some old wallpaper and papered the inside of the shelf and took cardboard , cut out a door ( a piece big enough to fit inside the middle shelf and divide it into two rooms) and covered that also with some old wall paper. We used old pieces of left over carpet and just put all the furniture inside.....I hope this makes sense...It made sense in my head...........

Good luck.

this is SUCH a cute idea! I really like the creativity involved here... there is so much you could do - from a really simple, open-ended doll house to a more elaborate, detailed house as they get older! so cool

2nd the request for pictures....

I'd love to aks my dad to make one of these for DD but I know him... he'd want pictures (and maybe even measurements... so my question is how tall should it be and how wide?

Thanks!
