Micro Munchies (a.k.a. Honey Bunny Miniatures): Our Dollhouses

My daughters love these dollhouses that we built several years ago from kits purchased from our local A.C. Moore store (the 50% off coupons really helped!) The kits are made by Real Good Toys. Nothing can beat their high quality and durability...and putting them together? Super easy. A mini-construction worker - I am NOT! Very little tools or nails are required and most of the floors, walls, and windows are pre-cut right out of the box, and interlock nicely into one another.

The possibilities for projects to personalize these houses and add more realism to the rooms, are endless. The girls knitted tiny bedspreads for the bedrooms (draperies and baby blankets for the cribs are next on the to do list) and I kept adding to the kitchens with "kit bash" cabinets (Only 49 cents each for the unfinished wooden cabinets at Michael's - I think they are trying to get rid of these little beauties). We took them apart and remodeled them by painting, staining, and reconfiguring them, and hung them on the kitchen walls to look like real cabinets. And of course, we added more miniature foods. Once you build a dollhouse, it's kind of like your real one - there's always a home improvement project to do or something to add to its decor and scenes. So much fun, I rarely hear the phrase "I'm bored" on rainy or snowy days. :)

Sorry my photos are not the best quality - one day I'll get a "real" camera.
