Excellent idea. Love the effect.  I've made a desk and chairs/sofas.

Excellent idea! I made a manger/stable for a Christmas nativity scene I did this year using the dolls dressed as the Holy Family, shepherds,  Wise Men, and so on. It doubles as a spooky crypt and stable for other dioramas I do with the vampire dolls and sideshow Buffy slayer dolls.

Thanks Lisa! yes and there could also double as seats for a stadium or lecture room too. It's great when pieces have more than one use :)

for Spa day , one of the first story my friend Anne & myself we created some years ago. I made all my diorama with carton and recycled craft paper. of course it does show it was not too "professional"but Oh my doll what fun we had!!

here a couple of other pics (you can see more in my website  domidoll.com 

 here I am having a mud treatment. (I used wet paper craft that I molded to Lilly's body then let it dry hard, after this I painted parts of it brown to give some wet appearance)

Here Mary is ready to enter in the sauna cabin (as you can see it was indeed carton board) the charcoal is lighted with Christmas light (battery powered).

and in the Log cabin cafe the seats as well are made with french fries container (left as is, it give the commercial  feeling one can fin in such place)

 behind Olga (the waitress) the back bar shelves are made of cardboard as well, then finished with a silver ribbon glued on the edges
