HUGE DOLLAR TREE & IKEA BUILD 💕 American Girl Doll House DIY & Tour!

[@catladylion5186]

I’m 27 and this video totally makes me want to get American dolls and decorate the doll house ❤️❤️❤️

[@marim.7502]

Catlady Lion me too!

[@rhyfelwrDuw]

Me too - I'm British though (still in the UK) and I'm not sure we have anything like those dolls here! I've got grown sons so it was cars and stereotypical boys' toys when they were growing up!

[@WAWANI-Nation]

Try 40🤦🏾‍♀️

[@creying]

@@rhyfelwrDuw We have our generation in the uk you can normally find them at Smiths Toys

This dollhouse is decorated better than my condo :-/ Loved this tutorial! Don’t have kids yet but this is awesome! I know I’ll definitely use this for my future kids. Gotta make a superhero/action figure one!

[@DoItOnaDime]

nytennis00 what an amazing idea!!! My boys would love that! 😆

[@seflowe]

Do It On A Dime, if you make a superhero/action figure one you have to show us!

I agree! I am in a condo too and don't have kids yet. This great idea! :)

Walmart and target have spin-off american girl dolls and you can get some stuff from there and it's a bit cheaper

[@MizusSparkles]

And i think family dollar, but idk how many stores are.

[@tamminihumphries9382]

I think the Walmart spin-off is called "My Life As". Not sure about Target though.

[@emmajoanne6026]

Tammini Humphries walmart is my life as and target is our generation if i spelled it right

[@elainehoward8822]

OMGOSH, this doll house is amazing, I'm beeeeeep years old, and I'd loveeeeee to play with that dolls house. I have a two and a half year old granddaughter, so I'm sure she will be wanting something like this very soon. Looks like nana had better start collecting furniture. Thanks so very much for sharing this fantastic video, I can't wait to start this project. Xxxxxxx

Ag dolls are for ages 8 and up...

[@TheStephaniemom]

This is amazing! I have 4 girls that are American Girl obsessed! Even my 12 year old, which I'm totally ok with, keep them young! I so wish we had space in our small house to do something like this, maybe someday!

[@Clutterbug]

This is ADORABLE!! So cute 😍

[@MrsSpringer82]

I love this idea!! Currently redoing my 5 yr old daughters room and this is exactly what I was looking for!

[@tanyamana]

Absolutely jaw dropping Kathryn! It looks magical with the lights on at night and those little girls are so blessed to have you build this wonder for them ! Enjoy how you create with such simplicity ❤️

[@SunshineBloom777]

*WOW! THIS IS AMAZING! How fun!!! You are such a crafty person & always have such amazing ideas!!!

[@mamicgc10]

I love this!!! My daughter is 4 and she will love this!!! She already has a doll house and we are going to revamp her doll house!!! Dollar tree. Here. We. Go. Thank you!!!

[@gracebry28]

You are so creative, I love it! I am 35 and would love this for myself, lol! :) Great job, ladies!! I bet those two girls are loving it!

[@whereskat]

Love this! When I was a kid I took my brother's model airplane materials and built my own little doll house ,and now I'm looking for doll house project ideas to do with my son. He doesn't like dolls but loves doll houses. Whenever he sees one, he can spend a lot of time rearranging things and looking at the different ways the rooms can work. I think he'd love putting together his own little house.

[@melindabanning7707]

Oh. My. Goodness! This is so adorable and looks like the big girls had fun decorating.

[@nancyramski899]

My daughters have American Girl Dolls now my granddaughters too! Looking forward to sharing this video! Your super clever love the video great 👍 job! Super impressed♥️

[@sylvienayman8441]

I've been dreaming of making a dollhouse for so long.. This is fabulous

[@sharonhughes2377]

I raised two boys.....I never got around this doll because I was one of ten kids....but this is FANTASTIC!!! I think I could have as much fun playing as the children! I love it! It is so big and colorful!

[@lashonnabahr889]

Best video! ❤️ Made me so nostalgic! I had the Samantha doll and would've loved a house like this for her! Lucky girls! 💕 I made my husband watch this. We are definitely doing this in a couple years for our daughter! Thank you!

[@bethhughes430]

How fun!!! I NEED grandchildren in my life!!! My son needs to get busy. So many cute ideas for grandchildren......I can't wait!

[@cindyloustodos2300]

Ohhhh love love love all of this I have a one-year-old granddaughter just found a nice doll house at Goodwill and going to use some of these ideas on a smaller version thanks for sharing

[@cw6744]

Wow! That dollhouse is amazing! Such a great job. The little girls are going to enjoy playing with it. Their Mom is blessed to have a creative friend like you. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a wonderfully blessed day. PS - Owen likes it too ❤.

[@gracefilledsouthernmama354]

Thank you for this! My 4yo is sooooo into American Girl dolls right now! I think an IKEA and Dollar Tree trip are in store! 💕

[@sabatham]

My 4yo, 6yo, and 10yo all love these dolls. And I am having another girl in fall, so I really want to build one, too. But where to put it?

[@maddenb6373]

sabatham I’ve seen people do it in attics so if you have one that would be a good choice

[@aliciaunaryan4751]

Oh how special Kathryn, those little girls are sure going to have endless hours of fun. Greetings from South Africa

[@SterileProcessor]

I know the adults wanted to play with it. Because I want to 😉. Love this idea. Loved that you added the cute kids in making your video. God bless them. ❤

[@esterixis]

Saving this to show my godson & his wife, who have a 2 year old & a newborn (both girls). I see American Girl in their futures, so this will come in handy. TFS!

[@jacksvlogs9924]

Wow! I love this! I’m so keeping this in mind for when I have kids. This seems like the way to go for any type of doll house. The contact paper really makes it incredible!

[@janetskelton4196]

That was too cute and so creative! My daughter loved her AG doll, but she’s all grown up now. I still enjoyed the video.

[@darthfiende1]

Oh man, what a nostalgia trip! I had Samantha and Bitty Baby. Great video!

[@carleeoglesby6701]

I had Samantha too! They've come a long way since we were kids lol

[@debbieomi]

You have evoked so many childhood memories with this doll house! At age 10 (40+ years ago), I built my own doll mansion using cardboard boxes and masking tape. I used bits and bibs from all over the house for wallpaper, light fixtures, etc and for interior design. I was so incredibly proud of my creation and boy did my creativity ever get a work out. I had that house in my bedroom until we moved when I was 17 even though it sat unused for so many years. I sure wish I had pics of it. Thank you for nudging this walk down memory lane, Katherine!

[@elle.emenno]

You’ve really outdone yourself!😍 My daughter watched this with me and we are in love with the outcome! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@F150-y3y]

My daughter is 4 and received her 1st American girl doll the well is wisher series for her bday. She is now hooked and asking for a doll house. I want to make this happen and your video has really helped me see that this is totally possible. I have always loved AG and wanted kit carson when I was 12 but we couldn’t afford it. I am going to vicariously live playing dolls with my daughter! Thank you.

[@purplekittyag5662]

This is such a cool project! I’m obsessed with American Girl Dolls, and my room is totally taken over by dolls and doll stuff! I will probably use these ideas to create my dollhouse! I love your channel!

[@Christina-ch4ot]

oh come on now. If this isn't the most adorable thing I've ever seen I don't know what is. What a wonderful job you guys did! I got all teary eyed when you talked about opening your first American Girl Doll. It brought back memories of when I opened my first one (Kirsten as well!) I will never forget that Christmas and I actually still have her to this day.

[@StillVoice_]

Packing my bags to move in lol,at least there are no bills to pay hahah.😂..i loved it!👍

[@amsbmp]

I'm a grandmother of 3 granddaughters, watching this video makes me want to go out make and surprise them. It gives me an idea for an awesome car, monstar jam car track too.... have 2 grandsons, plus one of my granddaughters would love it too. thanks. love it. more ideas need to get a jump on hanukkah n xmas too.

[@sarahhart7260]

Excuse me, I’ve got to RUN to ikea to get these shelves! I have wanted a doll house for my daughter for years. Now I can make her one!!!!! Tfs

[@traveltipsandrules8895]

May I ask how much shelves cost?

[@sarahhh7861]

The thing I absolutely LOVE about your channel is that you think SO out of the box and your ideas and tips are actually useful and beautiful! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@lisalmenard3828]

Maybe couldn’t you also wallpaper the walls before installing them in the shelf?

[@ZannidoMuse]

That's when you go 🤦 after you had put it together. It's exactly what I thought!

[@anileaatje]

I guess they didn't do that because then you'd see the screws? Or you would have to know where the hole are to assemble- or cut the out or...?

[@AccessoriesAddict5528]

I IMMEDIATELY thought the same thing!!!!

[@DoItOnaDime]

Lisa L Menard yes! You can for the shelf inserts, but for the sides and back it’s best to do one already put together!

[@mommyof3smarties]

Yup! Thought that too:)

[@therealJamieJoy]

A dream come true! When I was a kid the big thing was BARBIE! I had everything. This doll house is amazing. Y'all did a wonderful job.

Okay, you TOTALLY outdid yourself on this! Awesome job!!!❤️❤️❤️

You did such a great job decorating, you always come up with some good ideas, have a great day

[@TheThrivingLady]

Wow. Just wow. This is so lovely. I don't even have children and would love to have this dollhouse to play with. Me and my friends are in our 30s and 40s and we'd have a good old time decorating the dollhouse!

[@concernedparent2081]

We did this exact thing in my daughter’s room years ago-same IKEA shelving! She and her friend spent countless hours playing and decorating-for about 6 months, until they both decided they were “too old” for American Girls 😕 We repurposed the shelves and that was that. I loved it. Of course I played with Barbies until I was in high school 🤪

[@SimsbyShiveria]

i actually plan to do this for mine and i am 30 LOL

[@meganpryor6420]

What were the shelves called? And what are the measurements I should look for? I'm trying to find one but I'm kinda lost!

[@Nina-mk5qy]

Omg you’re so humble and lovable I literally can’t find anything to dislike about you

[@Gulshens]

Wowwww looks gorgeous Katherine! What a great idea 💡! I would love to do a boy version for my boys, maybe a car garage or something like that! ❤️

OMG! you almost make it to 1 MILLION subscribers, I've been watching your channel since 2013 and cannot be more happy that you've gotten this far, you are such an inspiration, God bless you! And to my other fellow subscribers we need to share this channel !

[@rochellet7303]

I loved this and don't even have a daughter. Also laughed out loud at "these dolls are livin large"

[@maryangel4974]

This is gorgeous but as a child, my greatest fun with my dollhouse was finding and creating the things in it myself. I would have been devastated to have this all done. Mine was not as fancy, not even close, but it brought so much joy to me when I had an idea and made it happen. My daughter was the same way. I think things like this take away opportunities for kids to create and come up with something they can be proud of. But this is fun... great tips and ideas!

[@chloe_3787]

When I was younger, I had an entire corner of my bedroom sectioned off with shelves for a doll room. I made a tv, iPads, books, binders, a balance beam, uneven bars, and even a sink and bathroom cabinet. I played with American girl dolls until I was 12 or 13 😂 Ps. Mini eraser phones from book fairs at school make perfect doll iPhones!

[@infinitexvoid7605]

i still play with ag dolls and i'm 12 👀

[@betsy9419]

YES!!!! More of this! My girls outgrew dolls, but my niece is into them! They can't afford AG stuff, but I've been DIYing lots of things! American Girls Ideas channel has so many great crafts as does My Froggy Stuff. I've been amazed how they can make things basically out of garbage! I've also been making doll clothes out of clothes that are stained or have holes and otherwise would have been thrown away.

[@deannadayyoung7455]

This is absolutely wonderful!!! My daughter played with American Girl dolls when she was little. Definitely an idea I am going to keep in the back of my mind when I get granddaughters!!

[@deborahgate965]

We live in Australia and have used the same Ikea shelf on the bottom floor of our dollhouse. I bought a second hand home made doll house and that sits on top for the next 2 floors. We have bought Our Generation Dolls and accessories from Kmart. Also anything we have found that is doll sized from different shops or second hand. I have managed to buy 3 American Girl Dolls second hand (hard to find for a good price here in Australia) and 10 Our Generation Dolls (new and second hand). As u can probably tell I love them as much as my daughter!😀

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

LOL I think the big girls had as much fun putting it together as the little ones did playing with it. How fun!

[@21tchrist]

We are starting to work on this for our 7 year old today. I'll give updates as we go.! Should be fun, Thank you for the idea!!

[@lostosbourne]

OMG I wish I was a kid again! lol When I was a little girl we didn't have much money so my cousin & I were very creative when it came to our Barbies & dollies. We would raid my Aunt's pantry for items. A can of sardines on top of a can of soup was a great table. The smaller cans with like the sliced olives & such were great chairs. Washcloths were blankets for the folded guest towel beds. Kleenex was great for sheets & tablecloths. Some of the most fun I had was when we were creative. This video is so awesome! I posted it on my FB cuz I have a lot of friends who have little kids.

[@babewillis3693]

Are you kidding me this is so cute I’m living vicariously through these little girls. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@adriennepretzer4575]

I built an american girl dollhouse for my kids last summer (using wood I got for free!) And we are still in the process of decorating it. We did use contact paper as flooring and wallpaper, but you have so many clever ideas I would never have though of! I love the idea of using picture frames as windows, and the puck lights - genius!

[@dezilou32]

My 7 & 5 yr old are going to love this when I make one. Super excited about this project. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@judithcatlett8518]

Wow! Beautiful. My daughter and I went to the American Girl store in NYC, several years ago, and you're not kidding about the prices. We did buy two Girls for the two granddaughters and one outfit for each. I could not get over the different stations. There was one Girl at a grand piano, and another at a full salon. They were amazing and crazy expensive.

[@lindaketner2509]

Wow, every girl would love your house. It is wonderful!!!!!!
