My dad and I made this for my 3 year old and she absolutely loves it. The wood that was recommended to use for the roof didn't cut well with the pattern so we decided to be creative and used door shims to make the roof look like it was made of shingles. We used scrap book paper and decoupage for the walls. Still having a hard time finding the right sized doll furniture for it, but it's a great house. Very sturdy and we put wheels on the bottom.

Thanks! It's definitely easier to move it around with the wheels because it's so big, but also not too heavy so she can pull it out on her own:)
