5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny, June 14, 2000
This review is from: Dollhouse Furnishings for the Bedroom and Bath: Complete Instructions for Sewing and Making 44 Miniature Projects (Dover Needlework) (Paperback)
This book gives clear instructions and diagrams for building beds for the dollhouse. The several beds shown are double-size, there are no single beds. The beds and headboards are built from 1/4" plywood. Easy instructions are given for upholstering the headboards and making the mattress, pillows and cases, fitted (!) sheet, top sheet and comforter. I have built several beds using these instructions and have been very pleased at the results. There are also instructions for smaller items: a folding screen, bathrobe, etc. I found this book to be very useful and well-written.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, January 11, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Dollhouse Furnishings for the Bedroom and Bath: Complete Instructions for Sewing and Making 44 Miniature Projects (Dover Needlework) (Paperback)
Most of the content of this book is common sense. If you care enough to search out a book about building miniatures, you've probably already given it enough thought to figure out that you can cut a robe shape out of terrycloth and sew it together for the bathroom, or use sandwich bags for shower curtains. I was very excited waiting for this book to arrive, but wound up returning it.

The ideas aren't BAD, but they're not worth paying for. Vaunted as being written by an individual famed for museum displays in miniature, I expected more details than the rather crude interpretations in the book. Certainly one loses detail in working with 1/12 scale, but even the photos of the samples in the book show poorly chosen, out of scale trim. (The eyelet on the edge of the towels is a prime example.)

Surprisingly, the old children's book "Boxed-In Doll Houses" [...] is a better source for innovative ideas. Certainly you would not want to actually USE a stryrofoam cup for a chair, but given the idea, you could use said cup as a base for forming a polymer clay or woven reed one. All the projects made with cardboard boxes could easily be converted into wooden ones with minimal woodworking skill. See if your library has it, or consider picking up a used copy.
