I change my mind a lot. For example, I painted my garage door with 5 shades of taupe before I was happy with the way it looked. The last shade I created by slowly dumping black acrylic paint into the gallon of latex paint to achieve the perfect gray tint to the taupe. Perhaps my artistic friends in blogland may relate to my quirkiness?

My point is that I hate to glue things down permanently. To be able to change things in my mini rooms, I like to use a removable adhesive called
Glue Dots®. They are acid-free and archival safe so they don't discolor papers or eat away at finishes. You may be familiar with them from their industrial application – direct mail. Often they hold fake credit cards onto the annoying credit card offers. If you peel the glue off of the paper, it stretches and is fun to pick at. They are also popular for scrapbooking. If you can't find them at your local craft store, try
ordering them online.

Some dollhouse uses:
- hanging wall art
- hanging shelves
- attaching seasonal decorations
- sticking furniture and rugs to floors
- holding accessories in place
- sticking templates to pieces before cutting
- adhering items to the inside of containers for protection from shipping
Do you have a favorite removable adhesive?

Thank you Carol! That is a GREAT tip and I will buy those. I also don't like to glue things down permanently. For me part of the fun is changing things around. YES! I plan to play with my doll house. ;-)
