Craftin' and dollhouses

Is it terrible, that after I've graduated college, I'm still looking for ways to have my own dollhouse? I literally have been trying to think of things for a couple years now. I bought a brown paper mache one from a craft store and it is just way too boring for me. I tried spicing it up...

I started with the chimney...



Then I gave it a bit of a weathered outside job...




Gave it some trim..





Then I went ahead and did a lil' van gogh style on my house....


But I haven't finished it yet, because I'm bored with it. I want levels, and bedrooms...I've looked at lil' wooden houses, I've looked at maybe making a little clay house to imitate adobe, I've looked at DIY cardboard houses... I've gone through TONS of ideas. Still haven't settled on one yet.

However, before I do any more house ideas, need to finish this house. I'm thinking I might put tissue paper in the windows and doorways, and then put some LED lights on the inside. Make it so that it lights up with a nice soft glow. It could make a lovely gift for someone. Don't know who...

I haven't yet done the grass outside, yet. Trying to decide if I should do faux grass that has a texture to it, or if I should just paint it green. After all the work I did on the outside, I really don't want to finish with it looking sloppy. Any suggestions?
