can you tell I've thought about this a little? haha.Īnyways, I enjoy the challenge of a designing and building things. I even added an elevator so that Barbie wouldn't need stairs (I didn't want to build stairs or take up valuable square inches of floor space). I cut in windows, added two walkways/hallways (from scraps of the shelf I cut down) that made it so I didn't have to cut doorways in ( very dense plywood) leaving the bottom shelf still usable as a shelf later (< that will, likely, never happen because I have another 8 month old that will grow into it as my older daughter loses interest). As you can see, it's spacious and accessible. It was all a little beat up but aside from using a bunch of things around the house, I felt like I could turn two shelves into this doll house by reconstructing one and placing it on top of the other. (I even resold two extra Barbie kitchens that came in a lot to pay for some of the things I bought.) I didn't need to buy wood for the house itself.Ī while back, my husband and I bought a lot of preschool furniture, (for the cost of one item we got several pallets worth.which was awesome!). This house and everything in it, cost me around fifty bucks. The expense went mostly into buying some plastic Barbie furniture (off ebay), some wood dowels, trim, hardware, scrapbook paper, odds and ends at the dollar store and Hobby Lobby, and 1/4 yards of fabric to use here and there. You might be wondering how much money I have in a project like this.
I hope you like this project, my daughter sure does! I'll share how I made several things, as well as how and what I repurposed later.
I have a ton of work in this, it's nice to know someone is interested! Below are a bunch of pics of the doll house I made for my daughter a while back.
