apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Made primarily from scraps of leftover wood, this dollhouse reportedly cost around $15. Says Jim about his motivation for tackling this project:

"...ever since my wife's cruel revelation about the woeful cardboard vehicles I make for Juniper, I have felt a need to redeem myself in terms of what I am able to make with my hands. So I decided to build Juniper a dollhouse that resembled our own home, a Mies van der Rohe shoe box whose lack of any ornament would make the job extremely simple."

And he has this to say about the result:

"...considering that my woodworking experience consists of about an hour watching the New Yankee Workshop and maybe half an episode of Bob the Builder, I don't think it turned out too bad. I love it when minimalist taste, thrift, and complete lack of craftsmanship all come together to form a happy trifecta."

Juniper seems pretty happy, too.
