Here’s more inspiration for decorating your Martin Dollhouse Country kit or any dollhouse kit for that matter. Katrina J. of Connecticut has an amazing eye for color and overall design. She’s done a few things that we don’t see very often, this time on The Country with a Front Closure. For one, she painted the shingles which gave it […]
Sunni B. from Indianapolis is another true artist. She bought The Alpine wooden Barbie dollhouse kit with two extra 2-drawer units for more storage. She also bought some of our solid wood furniture and instead of upholstering with fabric, she painted them in awesome colors.The colors and wallpaper are so much fun. Of course we love the yellow – it’s so bright and […]
Just had to share how Tiina A. from Chicago decorated the Martin Dollhouse Country Dollhouse kit. She worked on the Country off and on for several months and still has plans to add some wallpapers to her Country Dollhouse. Overall, she says she was thrilled with what her daughter received at Christmas. Here’s what she had to say: “We […]
So last time, we looked at a Removable mattress for Barbie’s wooden bed. Let’s take a look at my new favorite – a barbie doll bed mattress sewn into the bed’s platform. As a reminder, the measures 12-1/2″ x 5-3/8″ wide. I used the same finished measurements as I did for the Removable Mattress: Cut […]

I’ve been playing with a Barbie dollhouse lamp a little bit. Years ago (okay a decade or two but who’s counting) this is what the designed looked like – sturdy enough for kid’s play but not very elegant. With some paint and some fabric it does turn out pretty nice. And it’s solid wood so […]
I admit it. I love to sew. I’ve been sewing since I was six when I started on my great-grandmother’s old Singer treadle machine. I started making Barbie clothes. Without telling you my age, I can safely say I’ve been sewing a LOOONNNGGG time. I’ve kept my dollhouse quilts and Barbie bedding pretty simple for now […]
Couldn’t resist donating another Barbie wooden townhouse to a great cause. The Theater Booster Club at our local high school is trying to raise funds to send the kids to Edinburgh, Scotland as representatives for the USA. Very exciting. I finished a Townhouse I had started and donated it as their key raffle item to raise […]
DIY Upholstering Wood Barbie Chair For the BarbieⓇ wood Townhouse dollhouse I donated to the Lone Star Cattleman Foundation, I also included wood furniture for each room. Here’s what the whole living room set looks like before finishing. The chair, sofa, lamp, and clock are made of solid pine. The two tables and coat rack are made […]
Alpine Barbie Wood Dollhouse Donated Here it is. The finished Barbie® wood dollhouse I donated to the Lonestar Cattleman’s Associate Annual Soiree. It took about 2 weeks, from start to finish, mainly because I added so many little extras. I must admit – adding the flower boxes was fun! I could have done much much more, […]
