Welcome to you both!

I use any brand scrapbooking paper that is acid and lignin free along with regular dollhouse wallpaper from a real dollhouse store/website. Might be a little more expensive but I really don't want to have to strip wallpaper and do it over. Scrapbooking paper is a decent weight similar to that of real dollhouse paper. Self-printed paper unless you have a really good printer with really good ink and I'm not sure what those are can run or fade on you later on. (Earth &Tree used to have a tutorial on how to print your own with good tips) I've had some success with contact paper but it can shrink over time and leave gaps around the edges of the walls/floors. Also some success with fabric glued on wall. RL wallpaper borders work too if images are in scale. It pretty much depends on what you're trying to accomplish in your house and how long you want it to last. You can always do a template and fix that to the wall and put the paper on that if you think you will want to change it later.

It sure does!

I'm out in the garden myself these days. I've sort of settled into admiring/playing with my houses rather than really working on any of them. Supposed to rain today, maybe that will change. As far as gardening, I've gotten the best advice over the years from my State's extension service. Good luck, have fun and expect to mess up no matter how many years you garden. I was looking forward to a bountiful fruit harvest and the winds we had recently blew all of my baby plums away.

Welcome Paula! I have had some success with using nail polish remover/acetone but be careful because it will damage painted/finished surfaces. Stinks too so work in a well ventilated area and wear a mask.

@Kami I saw the "woman" in the door too! You are not alone in the tricky eye department.

I try not to order anything that doesn't have the measurements listed for the item. Even that is not always accurate. Like Holly said our RL environments have less than perfect scale items. I love my humongous RL recliner. It totally dwarfs my grandmother's antique sofa and overwhelms my small living room but neither one are going anywhere.

Welcome Kate! Ask away there are many here who have built that house (not me though) as well as a builder's blog on this site. I hear you on the wiring, none of my houses are wired.

Good Luck! Welcome to the forum. I have not built the Beacon Hill but many here have so you will have plenty of friendly folks to answer questions. The link below has many of the Greenleaf houses with step by step pics and there are YouTube vids out there too. https://moreminis.blogspot.com/?m=1

Neat! I hardly decorate anything anymore, no time, I go elsewhere now for holiday celebrations and everything becomes a cat toy anyway😆

The tiles are cut in much smaller squares on the floors I have seen done this way. (1/4"-1/2") That being said I think the problem is your substrate. Maybe try weights instead of pins. If planks are the look you are going for Havana Holly uses a wood tape type product whose name escapes me at the moment. Hopefully she will chime in soon!

One room school houses were primitive so don't make it too perfect. I like what you have done. Reminds me of the salvaged RL one on the grounds of a nearby museum.

Oh my goodness! I had a grocery store similar to that with the little people and their shopping carts running around in isles powered by a magnet underneath. What Memories! I also think my Holly Hobby doll house was the same way. Not the wood manufactured one, I had a cardboard one with a Holly Hobby doll and plastic furniture. The doll fit in a stand with a magnetic base driven by a wand underneath. That house was the only thing that did not survive the leak in the she shed.

I agree, especially the trim pieces look to be real life size cabinet trim material but it works. 👌
