[@theariana1o1]

Wow barbie houses sure have changed. They're all pink and girly. I remember the family and realistic barbie houses and for her friends too.

[@beauty6649]

Trust me theyre barely pink look up the barbie hello dreamhouse you'll be amazed This isn't even a barbie dreamhouse it's a barbie house that they sell on amazon for like 50$ Of course it's not gonna be "realistic" also barbie has always been pink and girly People are actually happy that shes not as pink as she used to be

[@urarakaochako6230]

I personally love pink and girly things, which is why i love Barbie, haha. But to each their own ^_^

[@beauty6649]

I mean y'all really gotta stop ignoring the fact that it's a doll house that's supposed to be fun and colorful Not "realistic" and of course it's made out of "plastic" like all Barbie houses and pink has been Barbies signture color for more than 40 years she's always been about empowering girls and that they can be anything Of course if they aim it to girls it's going to be a little bit girly again go and look at the new barbie houses Mattel tried to make it less pink because ppl were annoyed i mean Go to 2008 there was this full on pink barbie house and the commercial Was all about pink but no one says anything but then there's this Which is barely pink ppl are out here saying it's too pink i mean She can't fully get rid of pink cause it's her signature color

[@urarakaochako6230]

Beauty Preach! :D

[@mochiloki]

I had this house and I loved it. No kid wants a realistic dollhouse. That’s not fun, especially for a child. Pink is Barbie’s signature colour, and besides, this one isn’t even that pink for Barbie. edit: okay, maybe some kids might want a realistic dollhouse. Most kids I know wouldn’t care. I have some Sylvanian Families dollhouses and they’re a little more realistic.

This reminds me of the doll house that my dad made me as a kid! My dad upcycled a wooden changing station into the best dollhouse ever -- it matched our house because he used scraps from when he renovated our home. I was amazed as a kid and I'm still amazed as an adult. This video took me right back to that giddy kid nostalgia and it's making me want to create my own doll house now. Thank you for the inspiration and the trip down memory lane. ❤
