Two years ago, Arkansas grandmother Dena Daniels decided to live 'her truth' after being teased as a teenager for playing with dolls - and says she eats, sleeps and breaths Barbie.
Still need to add casters and outdoor carpet/vinyl terrazzo tile.
Hear me out.

Barbie’s all-pink dollhouse in Malibu, California is up for rent, allowing guests to live the reel life
This is a current my desk situation. (You can see a printer on the right side of this photo.) I put miniature items around me so that I can think how to make a room anytime. I’ll probably make a bed room next.

This year, there was one Christmas gift that I just couldn't wait for the girls to see... ...the dollhouse! This is the Vermont Farmhouse Jr. kit by Real Good Toys. I wish I could take some credit for this one, but my husband did all the hard work--painting, assembling, and (my favorite part!) wiring it for lights. I love the lights--they makes it all seem so real and the whole house glows so beautifully at night! The girls love it and are constantly playing with it--rearranging the furniture and creating new little scenes. We talk about what things need to be added (curtains and some kitchen shelving being tops on the list) and what things we could possibly make for it (some towels for the bathroom and quilts for the bed will be made shortly.) I'm looking forward to seeing how this little home changes as the girls age. I remember, as a girl, attempting to create all kinds of miniature items for my dollhouse. I can't wait to see what my girls come up with!

This is a project for Mom.,and possibly some Dad's. I didn't have money to go out and splurge on toys for my daughter. I am a single Mom and so I put my thinking hat on and I thought to myself why not make my daughter a house and furniture. This was a really cool project. It took a few weeks to do but it was all worth it!! I made all sorts of furniture ranging from couches, beds, bunk beds, tables, chairs, a vanity, chaise lounge etc... It was allot of fun and enjoyment. When I finally gave the furniture and house to my daughter she and her friends would spend hours playing Barbie's. I heard them giggling and sometimes fussing over who was going to use what piece of furniture. All the neighbor kids thought it was so cool that Fran's Mom makes Barbie stuff. It became so popular that I began making things for gifts because other children were without furniture or houses for their Barbie. Maybe you are creative like me. Use your imagination and decorate any which way you choose! Have fun with it!!! Materials Needed: · All different sizes of cans and boxes---The boxes need to range from little gifts boxes to cereal boxes to Pringles chip cans, vegetable cans. · Some sturdy cardboard · Utility knife · Duct Tape · Fabrics (all sizes and colors · Lace, ruffles, trims for fabric · Glue Sticks · Glue Gun · Polyester Filling · Popsicle Sticks · Pieces of foam, dollar store foam curlers, sanitary pads (all these make great fillers for sofas, beds and pillows. · Crafts Glue · Tiny artificial flowers Directions: · Choose what you are going to make and secure boxes in place. · Once secured you can begin covering your couch in fabric · Then decorate and put the final additions on your piece using ruffles, trim etc... **When you are done with the fabric what I like to do is I use popsicles sticks and I will glue them onto the back of the couch to make it stronger as well. You can do this before or after the fabric is added. Below are some of the neat things that you can make. Pringle Can Chair-- This makes a cute chair. Materials Needed: · Pringle Can · Cardboard · Glue Sticks · Glue Gun · Utility Knife · Duck Tape · Fabri,ruffles,etc.. Directions: · Cut about 1/2 of the Pringle can off. · Cut 2 pieces of cardboard on a circle · Glue to Pringle can · Stuff with fabric · Now you are ready to cover in fabric Bed Directions--- · I use cereal boxes for a double bed and Kleenex boxes for single beds. · You want to secure it and make it sturdy so it's best to stuff the boxes with newspapers. · Once you do this then cut 2 pieces of heavy cardboard and glue one on the top and one on the bottom of the box. This will make it very stiff and secure. · Now measure the end of your bed and cut 2 pieces, now glue them on for your headboard. · Once you secure your boxes and headboard then you can cover in fabrics of your choice. · Add ruffles and lace for trim. · Make pillows out by covering either a sanity pad or some larger foam rollers Bunk Beds for Little Kelly Dolls Materials: · 2 Small Kleenex Boxes · Cardboard · Popsicle Sticks · Glue Sticks · Glue Gun · Utility Knife · Fabric · Duct Tape · Fabric Directions: Look at illustration. Glue boxes together and then decorate with Fabric. Directions: For Table · Cut 2 pieces of Cardboard in a 3x5 to use for a kitchen table. · Glue together · Now glue Popsicle sticks on top or cover in wood fabric. · Glue Popsicle legs onto table. (Sit doll on chair so that you can determine where to cut the height. For Chairs-- · Use a small gift box · Cut 2 popsicle sticks to use for the front legs · Use 2 ful length sticks for the back of the chair. · Cut 2 cardboard squares to use for the back of the chair · Once you have everything tapes and glued into place you can begin decorating with fabric ENJOY!!!
