How to swap windows of Primrose dollhouse?

[pumkinpie]

I've never built a dollhouse before.I was thinking of getting a Primrose.I want to switch the windows.How could I put the back side window in the front and put the front window on the side?

I'm not quite getting the picture, Indy. Are you talking about moving the window openings or the frames? If you want to move the side window from the front of the house to the back of the house or the other way around, just flip the wall (install it inside out). Don't ask me how I know this.  Since the back is open, I'm not sure what you are calling the back side window. Can you clarify?

[pumkinpie]

No what i want to do is to put the long window side by side with the front door on front wall and put the short window on the side wall.Sorry for the confusion.

I see. Doing that would require cutting and filling. Are you handy with a utility knife or a small craft saw or any power tools?

[pumkinpie]

I don't have power tools and no experience with them.Basically I have never cut wood before.What would be the easiest way for me to cut the openings?

[KathieB]

For the straight cuts you'll need for the windows, I'd suggest a utility knife/box cutter. You MUST use sharp blades. Have replacements on hand and change frequently. Use a steel ruler as a guide, and make many shallow cuts. Do not press hard. Do not rush. This will take patience but be worth it in the end.  Practice cutting on some scrap wood to get the feel of it. 

Have you punched out the  window openings? If not, I'd run some wood glue over the edges on both sides to stabilize them and keep them in  place. If they are punched out, glue them back in so you'll have a solid wall to work with. 

Just for fun, here is my Primrose made into a Rabbit Habitat.  

And by the way, "Can I --" is most always answered yes! in miniatures.  If you can think it, it can be done -- especially with a little help from your friends here.
