Victorian dollhouse

So, not strictly an art project, but just because I am proud of it, here is the dollhouse I built from a kit for my daughter for Christmas, going up in stages. Please ignore the horrific mess that is my worktable. It looks (a bit)  better now. I was tempted to spend hundreds of dollars furnishing it with reproduction period furniture made in China, but, you know, not.
