We construct a family of rotationally invariant, local, S=1/2 Klein Hamiltonians on various lattices that exhibit ground-state manifolds spanned by nearest-neighbor valence bond states. We show that with selected perturbations such models can be driven into phases modeled by well-understood quantum dimer models on the corresponding lattices. Specifically, we show that the perturbation procedure is arbitrarily well controlled by a new parameter which is the extent of decoration of the reference lattice. This strategy leads to Hamiltonians that exhibit (i) Z(2) resonating valence bond (RVB) phases in two dimensions, (ii) U(1) RVB phases with a gapless photon in three dimensions, and (iii) a Cantor deconfined region in two dimensions. We also construct two models on the pyrochlore lattice, one model exhibiting a Z(2) RVB phase and the other a U(1) RVB phase.
