If you’re thinking “Holy cow, that’s a big dollhouse,” you’re right.

Devon exercised his burgeoning woodworking skills on this house for our 8-year-old daughter, who plays with a mix of 18-inch dolls and smaller dolls. We knew she wouldn’t be able to resist crawling inside it, so he mounted it to the wall.

We like the idea of a dollhouse that will evolve into a bookshelf once she has replaced these toys with the 3D-printed tabletop variety.

Adults don’t stop playing with dolls. We just give them armor and spell resistance.

Devon’s build is adapted from the one on Ana White. He made a few changes, including the addition of roofing that he cut on our Glowforge. Over the next year, I will work with our daughter to decorate the inside.
