It came out in Germany in 1986, even though it was originally published in 1958. The drawing is of a boy and not a girl as I originally thought.

A girl starts drawing a house and visits the exact drawing in her dream. She then adds a girl her own age to the drawing and is amazed when she meets the girl in her next dream. She quickly befriends the girl. Then the girl from the drawing begins requesting things to be added to the house. Of course the furniture is added. Then the demands begin to increase and the girl becomes a very threatening presence in her dreams.
I do not recall how the book ends nor any other details. I tend to believe that the girl's drawings might have been also in the books as b/w illustrations that looked what a pencil drawing from a 10 or 12 year-old might look like.
Thank you for your help.
