I finished a house for my nieces last year. It was surprising how much they charge for 1/12 dollhouse specific wallpaper. Instead I hit up Michael's craft store whenever they had sales on scrapbook paper -- often 4 or 6 sheets for $1. After working on a dollhouse for a bit your eyes start to see in 1/12 scale; you get pretty quick at picking out sheets that fit the bill. I was able to paper the entire house for probably less than $5 (plus a small amount of regular wallpaper glue watered down). Check it out:

I 'second' the poster who bought and recommended the Gothic Cabinet Craft bed. We got this one:

It's solid, simple, cheap ($200-$300). And much sturdier than anything from IKEA. If we could afford to spend thousands on a bed we probably wouldn't need that much storage space!
