I guess this view is a very simple form of the dollhouse theme. It is an upper and lower view of two rooms that you can transform into anything you desire. If you peek at my version below you will see I even went one step farther and opened the upper back wall and made another room just to show you another possibility. I have included the two paper fills and feel free to use them again if you wish because they are two I created. I have also included the stairs. The instructions are very simple and this should leave you lots of time to decorate your creations.
