Barbie House

When we lived in St. George Grandma and Poppa were kind enough to let Christy use their doll house that us girls used growing up. It was a large doll house with two large rooms on each of two levels. Christy loved using it with her numerous Barbies and Bratz dolls. When we moved we had to leave the doll house in St. George. So I went to Michael's and bought one. I got it for fifty percent off. :) I love coupons!!! Anyways I sanded it and Christy helped me paint(she helped a little, I did most of it). It is now finished and just in time because I start work tomorrow. Here are some pictures. Christy is happy to finally have a house for her Barbies and Bratz.




This is when I first bought it.
Partially done. The top room is the bedroom. I used scrapbook paper for the wallpaper. The room left is the living room. The bottom right is the kitchen. I used a piece of tile for the floor. The room above the kitchen is the bathroom. Yes, it's pink. All of Christy's Barbie bath stuff is pink.
Finished product. I put a mirror in the bathroom and tile on the floor. I cut up a rug to use as carpet for the front room and bedroom. Christy was very excited to be able to use it. It's not very big, so I might go back to Michael's and buy a wood box shelve with two shelves and decorate that for more rooms for her dolls.
