The most fun ever calendar house

I'm very literal and linear! so this has really helped me keep track of days as well as just relax! It's a calendar dollhouse actually utilizing dollhouses and their paraphernalia! It's best just for covering 2 weeks in my Sunday to Saturday calendar (it would be perfect as a Monday to Sunday too, it's just I'm used to the visual of a Sunday start in a monthly calendar). There are 7 rooms across, 1 for each day (at the moment I can also configure for a 1- to 4-day first "week")....In each, as I've mentioned for my older paper setup, I put reminders of what's happening that day, like you perhaps can see I'm getting some produce and milk deliveries mid-week. 

Here's another view of the week:

Here's today in my calendar dollhouse -- it's of course planny-at-the-desk today, and Gifting Day in my calendar, the first day of the year as well (note Looking Back is not completely safe!):



Of course looking from another angle is darling:


-- and that picture brings up something that saves me a lot of $ -- if I really yearn for something but can't really fit it into my budget, I look for it in my dollhouse options! So, I would swoon to have an upstairs sitout/terrace/big balcony, but can't right now, so voila here is one! There was also a darling bed cum desk cum storage I saw somewhere, but I saved oh $1,300 by getting a similar feel dollhouse sized! (I slide a desk where the wardrobe is.) https://www.target.com/p/calico-critters-sister-s-loft-bed/-/A-51349519

Technical-ish-ities: I use 1:12 dollhouse items for the most part; Target's L'il Woodzeez and their and elsewhere's Calico Critters work, plus of course real dollhouse items which usually (not always) cost more but really elevate the look. You can see some stored in the background near Ms Kitty.

I've been experimenting with this for a while; here's a cozy day I loved from last month:
