My friend Jen told me about some puzzle houses Michaels has. They are half scale. There are two kind and  they also sell furniture kits you put together. The house is $7.99 and the furniture is $4.99. I will have to modernize the furniture cause it's old fashion and I am into modern stuff. I probably will use a few of those pieces and some I already have.  I have named my house The Michael.  I haven't done much in half scale in the past and I have other dollhouses in 1 inch scale that I've started on but never finish, but I promised myself I would finish this house inside and out since it's not that big. We shall see. I will keep you posted. You can see pics of The Michael in my album.
