5.0 out of 5 stars For the beginner, July 29, 2001

This review is from: Creative Dollhouses from Kits: Easy Techniques and Tips for Finishing and Customizing Dollhouses (Paperback)

This book describes the way to finish and modify dollhouse kits from the die-cut to the more expensive plywood. It clearly describes the ways to finish off the exterior using wood, brick and stone. It gives interior painting, wallpapering, lighting, and floor treatment advice and instructions as well. I found it to be a most valuable book, especially for those who have found it frustrating to work on a die-cut dollhouse.

I am a novice, only one small project before but I didn't learn anything from this book. It would be ok for someone who has never done any type of kit work or who is totally unfamiliar with dollhouses and miniatures.
