Pinterest: Discover and save creative ideas

with apologies to Grant Wood painting "American Gothic" and after Brad Goodell's Barbie & Ken

Most people think of dollhouses as a traditional toy, but we're here to change that with this list of 8 modern dollhouses.

I saw this Barbie chandelier in a design book at Lowe's. I was horrified and strangely intrigued. There are several versions of this idea floating around the web. I've been wanting to replace my daughter's clunky ceiling fan with something fun and current. After hunting for several weeks I finally found a large brass fixture for $20 at a thrift store that I can alter into something cute. My plans don't include screwing hooks into Barbie's head.
