I have since been asked if I had any other furniture reuses. At first I couldn't think of any but then remembered my mum's most gorgeous dolls house.
This is not any ordinary dolls house this dolls house is a product of mum's imagination and dad's woodworking skills.
Mum's precious dolls house started out as this cheap, second hand, beat up, old wardrobe.

My mum LOVES her dolls house and absolutely adores helping all her grandchildren find all the tiny things inside it... although she does have a smaller 'child friendly' dolls house for the grandkids to get their hands on.
