A literary doll's house

[Gelfling]

Thanks to everyone who helped with my wallpaper problem....it turns out it was a combination of the wrong paste and me not cutting the paper to size first that caused things to go wrong, but I have wallpapered almost the entire house now so I'll be able to put it together. I'll have to put some photos up if anyone's interested.

 

Anyhow - when the house is built I am planning to put in some literary references because books are so important to me and I'd like to leave me stamp behind, so I was wondering if anyonehad some ideas.

 

One idea I had was to get a beautiful wardrobe, fill it with fur coats and paste the narnia scene inside (the winter forest with a lamp-post). I would really like some sort of reference to M.R.James' "Haunted Doll's House," because that is the story I was reading when I first had the idea to build a doll's house. I don't want a hanky ghost in the attic though

What a great idea. I can think of daft things like TS Elliots Cats,but that wouldn't work, unless you had one in each room, likewise 101 Dalmations, but there must be some better ones like your narnia idea. Will have a think!

You could have Sherlock Holme's cape and deerstalker draped over a chair by the fireside or something similar?

That's a great idea Poppy. It is fun to think these things up

 

My favourite book is Gormenghast, but that one is prooving to be difficult too. Unless I am lucky enough to find a bright carving on the twelth scale that is
