This doll house would work well with my Pocket Spirit dolls too. The bottom box is 18 1/2 inches long and 9 1/2 inches tall and 9 1/2 inches deep. It isn't a perfect scale to the doll, being a tad cozy, but the dolls don't mind :-)<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174223079054928870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-73065883452855454732011-08-14T01:19:55.035-04:002011-08-14T01:19:55.035-04:00Hi, My husband and I are wanting to make a doll ho...Hi, My husband and I are wanting to make a doll house for our daughter for Christmas (hopefully!) and I have a few questions. Basically, what size of doll is this for? I know they're for the Gingermelon Pocket Pixies, but how tall are they? Would this house work for your Pocket Spirits?<br /><br />Also, what size is your bottom-most box? The one I have that I am planning to use for mine just looks like it would be too small if I split it into two separate rooms, but, again, I have no idea what size these dolls are.<br /><br />Thanks for the tutorial (as well as all your free patterns!) I am really excited to get started on this!Lilyhttp://www.ravelry.com/people/LilyPantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-80535717884353751812011-06-20T21:24:17.255-04:002011-06-20T21:24:17.255-04:00Hi Melanie,

It reminded me of the doll houses I made as a child from the wood Kraft cheese boxes. when I was a child a pound brick of Kraft cheese came in a wood box. You could stack them making a two story house. You could use cardboard to divide them into rooms. A staircase was a heavy paper folded accordian style. Furniture was made from odds and ends, spools, scraps of fabric, whatever you could find in Mom's sewing box or Dad's garage. And all this fun was free. Even the dolls were prizes in CrackerJack boxesYvonnehttp://www.knittingfromtheheart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-7918939435798621302011-04-06T17:00:20.621-04:002011-04-06T17:00:20.621-04:00Oh, that is just too adorable!
