woah! I would FLIP if I got a gift as cool and as thoughtful as this! You did an awesome job at redoing it. Makes me want to play with dolls soooo bad.
Something that you could do, maybe, is print out little mini family pictures and tape them to the walls? Oh, and don't forget scentsy! maybe they would like the bubble gum scent for this house, lol. ;)
loves! xo holly

What a fantastic find!!
I had a doll house when I was little. I can still remember Mum giving it to me. She had painted the rooms and made curtains.
When we moved (my Dad was in the airforce) we left one country to come back to Australia and our furniture container fell off the ship! No more doll house.
I will find one. It's my mission.
