18" Doll: Dollhouse Ideas

I recently had a comment
(http://piecesforreese.blogspot.com/2010/04/my-inspiration.html?showComment=1297225505904#c4158155732456416356)
about DOLLHOUSE ideas for American Girl dolls, and that got me thinking....

I don't have room YET for a dollhouse of THAT SIZE, but I have been collecting inspiration and ideas along the way for a future build.

6.)  I personally own this book (from Amazon) and LOVE some of the ideas inside, including a dollhouse!  (Check your local library....they may have this book on the shelf!)
