This dollhouse conversion to create a Little Free Library is number one on my "Get a Grip on Hoarding" to-do list. I amassed 7 boxes of books and would like to distribute them to folks who may want them.
How I got stuck with so many books and discovered LittleFreeLibrary.org program is a very long story, as most things are in my life, but here are the highlights:
• De-stashed my personal library for more room; equaled 2 boxes
• Quit a paperback book exchange; left with 2 boxes
• Brand new books on the way to the landfill (Not on my watch!); gifted 3 boxes
• Yard sale; handmade wooden dollhouse to convert into library box; 22" x 16" x 21" tall
My living room is very small and the books and dollhouse are taking up a big portion of one corner. I deconstructed the dollhouse then started on the front half to enlarge the windows and door, and gut the inside. I had to purchase a special saw for the job (hubby was happy with more tools). I'm just now starting on the back half. I'm still undecided on the finish as it needs to be attractive and waterproof. I'll just have to see where this project takes me.
