Ikea’s most famous piece of furniture has to be the Billy bookcase and it is the perfect piece to turn into a dolls house or a playhouse like a fire station as they’ve done here. The Billy bookcase lends itself to all kinds of combinations so you can design your house as you wish. The dolls house pictured at the top is also made from the billy bookcase but is completely different to this play house.
