Dd1's (3.5) main Christmas present this year is going to be my old dolls house - I got it in the seventies/early eighties, and it was 'modern' at the time, so not Victorian or anything like that, and the decor is very seventies/eighties as well - patterned wallpaper mainly. It comes in three parts: Two storeys, then another storey, and then a part with a garage.
Now I'm not sure what to do: Should I try and 'decorate' the house before giving it to dd - ie put in new wallpaper or whatever? Dh reckons it doesn't matter that the decor is old-fashioned, as dd1 is too young to be au fait with decorating tastes .
And the other thing: Shall I give her the whole lot in one go at Christmas, or should I just give her the top part for now and keep the other two storeys for her birthday in May?
Would really appreciate some opinions, as I can't make up my mind and dh and I disagree!
