Dolls' House Makeovers
Fashions in dolls' houses and miniature rooms change with their  owners' interests, and sometimes it is fun to redecorate.  Nisbett (The Complete Doll's House Book) provides a pictorial  guide to miniature English period furnishings and instructions  for installing fireplaces and other features into an existing  room. The ideas in her book can also be used to create new rooms  from scratch. Wisconsin miniaturists Santovec and Ogreenc take a  different approach with their step-by-step projects for  miniature items of Americana from Native American to  contemporary sports. The emphasis is on clothing, popular  culture (e.g., an aluminum Christmas tree), and sports  equipment. No room settings are provided. Both books will be  welcome in public libraries needing more material on miniatures.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
