The house design looks good but I suggest that you save it for when she's older and build something simpler and quite a bit larger for when she's little so she can enjoy it. Take a look at a playscale size house and use those dimensions and keep the design simple. I found out that playscale is 1:6 which would also be called 2" scale. Here are examples of houses in playscale http://www.indianasampler.com/Playscale%20Series.htm My only comment on the house is that I think it has too many windows and openings which will make decorating difficult.

Thanks
I thought about droping some of the windows. Especialy at the back as one of the items I wanted in the house was a piano. Oh wow, just looked at your furnishings and put in a bookmark.

Hello again
Here are a couple of things to think about when you are planning for your dollhouse. First are you building the dollhouse for your daughter to play with, or do you want her to have a show piece house that is a collectors dream but may not be able to be played with. If you are making a play house. make it as rough and tumble as possible. You may bring up your daughter respecting her dollhouse, but her playmates may not have the same respect. If you want to build her a family heirloom, look into what is available locally, in terms if finishing materials, then make you window and door opening fit what is available. The last thing I would say is, when building a dollhouse, make it as big as you can. Unlike a real house, you won't be selling it to get more space after a few years.
