Well, being that I always seem to find new, exciting projects to work on especially when my current project is giving me fits (most normal people might call that being a perpetual procrastinator) I'm almost positive my husband is going to wiggle his secret dollhouse-sensing antennae, give me that evil, "you're-building-another-dollhouse-aren't- you" look, and if I manage to survive said look, I may be convinced to give it a go ;-) But! I have to move first, so after June 1 is when I can decide if I want to get serious or not! (I know I should probably order the kit now and save money, but that would mean I AM serious...)

Why does this happen to me? Why does GL make such awesome kits? Sigh. I have two other houses to finish and no track record of being quick about any of it. But...I have such a fun idea...

I originally wanted to do stairs to the tower in the tower section (I modified the roof to accomodate access to the third floor.) The dimensions are 3 x 3, which translates to 6 x 6 (in real square feet) and works great for a traditional, narrow, spiral staircase. If you are coming all the way from the bottom floor you'll have to modify where the front door goes, and where the door to the bedroom goes, and you'll have to ignore how anyone in your mini-land manages to get their heavy furniture up to the second and third floors ;) I still haven't figured out my stairs quandary - I built a circular stair to go in another part of the house, but the house is now telling me she wants to expand a little bit, and I am seriously thinking about building an add-on stair tower...ahem. But don't tell her that. She has been lovingly packed into a box until I move next month, but it sure is amazing how once she went in the box she got that much louder.
