Barbie's are kind of tall. Get yourself a pottery barn catalog (Maybe
pottery barn kids?). They have a Dollhouse / bookcase for sale. I used the
picture as my plan. I made some aesthetic improvements and built it for
about 1/3 the price.
Mine has a wood shingle roof (buy the shingles, I gave up after trying to
make about 1000 of them) Used hot glue to install them. Mine has "divided
light" windows (no glass of course). And a railing. Made from poplar,
painted. Used router to make dados where the sides connect to the shelves.
Rabeat for 1/4" ply back. Mine has a first floor, second floor and attic. I
used a Barbie to measure for proper floor to ceiling height.

Here are a few links to give you ideas
