Assem­ ble all the parts and nail into place at the last min­ ute. Some helpful hints as you initiate your holiday building project: if you build the house atop a large drawer as base, you'll create a giant tidy-upper. And, by positioning the house underneath an eave, nook or cranny, you're making imaginative use of otherwise wasted floor space. Keep the house open, without walls, be­ cause much of the fun derived from a doll house is to be able to peek inside. Finishing touches need not be expensive. Paste up pieces of old wallpaper on walls; fabric swatches look cute at windows, around lampshades and wrapped around seats. A neat wall-to-wall cov­ ering is leftover cushioned sheet vinyl which may be cut to size with scissors before cementing into place for a cheerful, shiny effect. This same type of "no- wax" cushioned vinyl makes a perfect floor cov­ ering for your daughter's bedroom, too. The fine GAFSTAR family of floors in any of its bright, youth- oriented collection would suit your daughter's life­ style to a tee. Since the floor is wipe-cleanable, it's a breeze to clean and feels warm and comfortable whether barefoot, kneeling or sitting directly on it. Think how pleased your girl will be to have a hand­ crafted doll house deco­ rated to match her own private, cherished bedroom retreat . . . this could be her best Christmas ever! SPARK WITH SPRIGS To spark up a holiday home, ask your local florist for some sprigs of eucalyp­ tus. These dried branches make an attractive ar­ rangement, and their fresh, almost pine-like fragrance will freshen the rooms for months. HOLIDAY GUIDE Stop! Christmas cards are always a thrill to re­ ceive, but think twice be­ fore you rip up and discard those envelopes. They're the best guide you could have to next year's mailing list. ^ FROM THE A\% DRESS UP YOUR BATHROOM FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
