A very generous member of my miniatures group gave me all three of the Houseworks "Street of Shops" kits, which I am slowly but happily putting together. More photos and details can be found here -- https://mathomhouse.typepad.com/bluestocking/miniatures-street-of-shops/

Cupboard or cabinet houses were quite popular in the 17th and 18th centuries. I wouldn't be surprised if many playhouses (I mean ones for playing with, not the higher-end show houses) started out as small cupboards! https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/special-auction-services/catalogue-id-srspe10235/lot-4193db7c-c7df-4cfa-b363-a82600ef1f0e https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-a-six-room-dolls-house-the-cupboard-early-5169348/? https://www.liveauctioneers.com/price-result/18th-century-english-cabinet-dolls-house/ https://www.theriaults.com/19th-century-richly-furnished-cabinet-house I would love to find one of those lawyer's bookcases, too. I've got dibs on my mom's curved-front glass cabinet for just such a project ...!

Venus Dodge has a section in her New Dolls' House Do-It-Yourself book on kind of pipe-cleaner armature dolls that @havanaholly mentioned. All of her books are excellent resources.

You will learn a lot from the folks here for sure, they are very helpful and inspiring! My first build was for my then 7-year-old daughter, who played with it for a few years then decided that she wasn't that interested any more, so it's mine again now!

Here's to lots of wonderful memories for both you and your great-granddaughter!

McQueenie does some beautiful Tudor furniture, quite grand so definitely suitable for a castle -- https://www.mcqueenieminiatures.co.uk/ Medieval Morsels on Etsy has wonderful period food items in polymer clay. She has been "taking a break" since August 2022, but I'll put the link here for when she comes back -- https://www.etsy.com/shop/medievalmorsels?ref=usf_2020

Renovating a simple dollhouse for my first attempt

Welcome! I'm sure there is a lot of inspiration here on this forum. I know Brae @otterine has done a number of haunted houses, and her work is stunning. -
Welcome, Nancy! I look forward to seeing your photos. I'm not that familiar with Lawbre, so my jaw dropped when I saw a photo of the Shadow Cliff -- https://lawbre.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=22&chapter=20 What a treasure -- lucky you! The folks here are very friendly and helpful, so just jump right in!
