I went right to the directions as you listed it . I printed them......And only one thing you failed to say, was when I upload them, i can resize doing that.. Thats how I did the last photo..
Your directons were quite accurate.

For me, I have a program called Infraview or Iview for short.. and I resize mine when I do mine in that, thennnnnn load them to PB... so, for me, it's semi~hard to remember how to do it other than that way...

Don't forget to be kind to strangers. For some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it. - Bible - Hebrews 13:2
When I send my photos in email my windows does resize them..But I had forgotten till you mentioned it....... When I have to up load to PB I must click on the browse button and Open it ......There for it isnt resized........... Thanks for noticing.

Hey dodge, how about going to your local wall paper supplier and asking if they have any discontinued wall paper books that they would be throwing out. You could use these samples to wall cover the walls in your dollhouse. And their free. Also at your local walmart they should have, near the craft section, a material section. In this section they should sell a bulk bag of scrap materials for patching clothing, great for making curtains for the windows. If you really want to get crafty, you could always again at walmart buy a wooden dowel about 1/4 " in diameter and use this as the curtain rods. Simply take some wire snips or even a handy pair of rose pruners and snip the length you desire. As for hanging the dowel try some eye hooks again something you could find @ you're local walmart, in around the tool section. Make sure to take your dowel and align the diameter of the dowel with the eye hook opening. Make sure the dowel will easily slip through. As for applying the eye hooks to your doll house I would use wire snips,( a good pair) and snip off the screw part. Then I would use contact cement and glue the eye hooks to the inside of the doll house where you want them, then insert the dowel. Of course rememeber to take a ruler and draw with a pencil lightly your line so they will be no goof ups. Cause cement glue is pretty permenant. Also when hanging the curtain you'll have to first sew a header into your curtain, so the rod can be inserted. Place your curtain onto the rod before putting the rod into the eye hooks. Good Luck in your endevours.

Good morning everyone, I finally had a chance this am to check out the progress on the dollhouse. It is coming along very well. Dodge you have the idea....it's looking good.
You could also use tiny lace(trim) for a valance (it already has the curtain rod pocket and a very thin dowel rod will fit nicely. I put a clear craft bead on the ends for attaching to the wall. This is the quick and easy way to do valances....you could get different colors of your choice, or you could crochet your own that would look pretty too There are soooo many ways to do little tricks and at the same time save yourself some money....after all it should be fun not super expensive. I've collected things for my dollhouse over many years, so I really don't know how much I've spent on it. It's probably better that way....lol
I know when it came to the electric and lighting I had the help of the hubby, he's a great mini electrician.
I agree about the sample wallpaper books being a great source for decorating. Sometimes you can even get two of the same books and have extra wallpaper of the same pattern, that helps in case you do a goof.... I know I did the first time around.
I'm glad to see you're having fun.....
Keep us posted.....
I'll be around today as I have the day off, and it's snowing..... lol 3 days til Spring, huh Has anyone spoken to either Old Man Winter or Mother Nature?

Maybe I overlooked it, but where did you order it from? You can PM me with the info if you want. My daughter is wanting one, but the ones we found at Hobby Lobby look a little too "delicate" for her I think. It's VERY cute!!
Thank you! 'Manda
