Why It Is A Good Idea To Keep A Dollhouse Record Book

Many collectors and hobbyists keep their miniature dollhouses in the family for generations. This makes it a great idea to keep a record file of the house. A facts book can keep track of things such as painting, electrical wiring runs, interior room decorations, and the furniture and accessories that are in your collection. A record book will allow you to keep track of your decorating, wiring, and lighting for the past, present, and future.

Many people create a dollhouse file in a scrapbook or binder and create a section for each room of the house, as well as one for the exterior, and a section for notes, records, and ideas. Each time an adjustment or addition is made to a part of the house it is then entered into the data book or file. The book can also be created by computer to keep it neat and easy to read. It is a definite must for any serious dollhouse collector.

It is also a good idea if each section of the book showed the wiring diagram, design notes, room design layouts, pieces of furniture and accessories numbered for reference, and photographs of how the house looked at each stage of design change. The records will prove to be helpful when you are shopping or building new items for the home. Each room in the house should have its own section which consists of a sample board, planning sheet, and room layout. Keeping track of the house and its contents will also make it easier to assess for insurance reasons.

You should keep everything related to the house in this vital book. This includes all receipts that you have concerning the house. They can be safely kept there and will be easy to access if you need them to return an item.

You can use see-through, thin plastic covers to protect the pages from accidents and spills, etc. The plastic will also keep the pages from turning yellow and will keep them nice and flat and easy to flip. If you are going to take the time and effort to document everything about your dollhouse, it is also worth it to make sure you take the same good care of these records.

If anything should happen to your house, you can always check the data in your book to help rebuild and redecorate the home to the way it was.
