I realise that I'm probably more than a little fashionably late to the 'book nook' party but I've been eyeing one for a while, following extensive research (otherwise known as faffing around on Pinterest)
Most of them are a tad basic, but I found one which looked better than the run-of-the-mill and as 'tis the gifting season, I succumbed to some self-gifting and ordered one. With impeccable timing it arrived yesterday and I have to say I'm really rather impressed with this specific kit.
It even comes with a natty little tool kit and absolutely loads of bits and pieces, including fabrics and lace, lighting, kits for plants and landscaping, kits for shop fittings and furniture and absolutely loads of little toys and accessories.
The fully colour illustrated instruction booklet runs to 26 pages (gulp!) but it all looks really clear and well explained. Needless to say I shall be upcycling and upgrading as I go along, and adding lots of my own games and toys, as well as a few wee dolls. It's billed as the Once Upon A Time Fairytale Dollhouse Shop which is right up my street so I'm really looking forward to making a start, although I'm going to take my time and enjoy the process, especially when it comes to the upcycling and amending.
I'm minded to return to the original roots of this blog and post my progress, which also provides an element of accountability.
So that's one mini project on the table already....
