That is amazing. I love the distressing, and the cup rings. As a fellow detail-obsessive (though not for dollhouses), I love reading your posts on this project. I've only ever seen sort of clunky, ready-made dollhouse furniture in craft stores, so it's wonderful to see how finely-finished these pieces are. Can't wait to see how it progresses, I'm sure you'll do great.

They have stain sample packs at Lowes? Why didn't I know this before I did my last decoupaged box? I hate working with anything with large warning labels, which is why I never picked up a can of stain, but I think I could handle small packets.

like Paris was familiar the first time I visited, because I'd been poring over the map for so many years (marking the locations of events from Les Miserables.)

So cool.
