Format:Paperback
I was over the moon with this book, it was beautifully laid out using language I, a beginner to the craft, could understand. It takes you from the simple yet enderaing shoe box through kitchens, bedrooms, nursey, shop, garden and more. Along the way are instructions on how to create the piece, from how to make a room box to a garden shed. All having beautiful photograhs and pictures. You are given plans for soft furnishing through to furniture not forgetting all the little touches that make a scene look lived in. To anyone interested in dolls houses, be you new or old to the hobby/ way of life, this book can teach you something new as well as insiring you with some ideas of your own.

A great source of ideas for beginners and experts
6 Nov 1998
Format:Paperback
To start a dollhouse may seem discouraging for many people when you think about the time it takes to finish such a project. Here are the ideas how to do just one room box, but still create the atmosphere that you want in a miniature. This may inspire the beginner to really start with a project to try his/her new hobby, but it is also a great source for the advanced hobbyist to try for a real masterpiece. I can only highly recommend this book to everybody who is into 1/12 scale.

A superb book that will sweep you into the world of minis
16 Mar 1999
Format:Paperback
Venus and Martin Dodge have produced (what I feel) are the most beautiful books on the skills of making miniature scenes, dolls and accessories. My first project was the kitchen in this book. It turned out beautifully. I cannot stress enough how realistic their roomboxes are. Have a great time creating!

A Beautifully Photographed and Designed Book
8 Sep 2001
Format:Paperback
I've used this book as a reference on how to make clay tiles for roofing and flooring. It has other good tips on designing rooms, and information on making the furniture in the rooms. The furniture is way beyond my ability to make, but it's still a lovely book.
