Valentina G yup

[@xxcrystalheartxx4529]

Tear... Console can’t get CC yet

[@desleykakoulidisgallaway3382]

the furniture is really nice...yeah I thought maybe a rug or two here and there. You could use linen tea towel piece and fray the edges. Also some greenery/flowers would look nice too - your friend will love it!!

How much is rent?

More than I can afford....

[@sherrijones6330]

That was a perfect wood look floor tile as it looks in scale and looks like individual slats of wood.

[@Thewhimsicalwife]

It is!! I was so happy when I found it in my hardware store!

[@Thewhimsicalwife]

I know right!!! :-)

[@chaldeokpai]

Popsicle sticks make great floor boards for doll houses^^

[@tessadarkgreen]

adding plants will make it look more friendly and colorful :) I feel like there are only 2 main colors white and brown it made it look a little too plain but it's still looks really good.

[@hneybee-dy1lr]

Brown and white make it look aesthetical

[@cocoshort6528]

although the gold and linen make it not look boring

[@thatintrovert_7821]

The number of people who fast forward past the talking is the amount of likes

[@Madi-hz3hs]

Who doesn’t

[@emmieb4054]

I am not kidding I had this barbie house and I took me 7 years to finally get rid of it

[@Thewhimsicalwife]

Emmie B That is quite funny!!’

[@emmieb4054]

The Whimsical Wife . by the way this looks great it’s modern but still super cute ❣️❣️

[@primabelladivajadore195]

What was the name of the doll house...?

[@avagrapez7413]

This is a nice project to do! I have been thinking if giving a thrifted dollhouse a makeover! We subbed!

[@susanmetzelar549]

I love it!

[@mariereeder3635]

Yeah, I've been thinking about doing this also. Then, donating to the kids at the battered shelter.

[@myfamiliycreationsjuarez7350]

I done the same thing i never have seen anyone else updo a foll house usually see people making their own i found one of the wooden old victorian ones for 15 bucks at thrift store n still working on it cause i work fulltime also but yeah i have been remodeling that. Happy to see someone else do one.

[@gcsugirl]

I feel like a child would like to play with the before house

[@deborahgate965]

This is the second dollhouse makeover I've seen using simular colours and although the finished dollhouses looked great, it makes me wonder if it's been changed for the child or their mum. Would the child rather have the bright coloured dollhouse?

[@zoe.x3949]

I had this dollhouse when I was 7 or 8 and shared with my younger sister it is so nostalgic to see it be made into something more 2019 style. I looks amazing!

[@Thewhimsicalwife]

Zoe.X oh thank you! You’re too kind

[@primabelladivajadore195]

What’s the name brand of the doll house...?

[@emilyneal92]

The nursery bunting is precious!

[@Cheshiregrinn91]

personally I'd add a plant or something for that pop of color and life. there are plastic buxus bolls where you can just pull 1 segment out of and stick it in a tiny pot and it would already look like a miniature plant. I do this all the time for stop motion videos and stuff where I need to make miniatures for. That said I really like the idea of dollhouse make overs.

[@myfamiliycreationsjuarez7350]

Yed good idea i make my plants out of clay theyre so so cute.

[@Cheshiregrinn91]

@@myfamiliycreationsjuarez7350 That would be cute! I recently tried my hand at making miniature paper plants. I am currently attempting a hydrangea :D

[@MyLittleCora]

This is perfect! I love how it turned out. I've got a thrift-shop house similar to yours and it really needs a make over.

[@DamiAnimated]

Ooh you’ve given me a cool idea. I want to make to make over an old dollhouse into a mid century modern or retro 1960s or 70s style.

[@ashlee1984]

I've been wanting to do this for a while now. You've got me REALLY wanting to do it now lol! It turned out so good!

[@Rollimggiant]

Now that's a doll house! I am a doll collector and need to do this!

[@carolinebuttar4842]

I have a question, I’m only learning bit by bit. I have 1/16 dolls house in fact I have i have about 3 but they have no front doors does any one know an easier way to put a door a on with a frame included

[@imwatchingu4893]

Not even kidding this dolls house looks better than my house in real life...

[@rae8589]

18:26 is probably what your looking for!

[@shirleyhaberle86]

Oh my goodness, I have the same dollhouse. I can't wait to show my granddaughter. We just talked about redoing it. Love it.

[@primabelladivajadore195]

Could you please share the name brand of the original doll house...? Looking for it.

[@shirleyhaberle86]

@@primabelladivajadore195 does not have a name on it, I'm sorry

[@myfamiliycreationsjuarez7350]

I hate the original ones with the stairs n everything stuck on instead of real stairs.

[@intignia]

Love the soft green on the walls and the dotted material in the baby cot.

[@n00dles69]

I had this exact doll house! My sister and I paid $25 each for it because we really wanted it. It got thrown out last year because it was worse for wear and falling apart. But this is the exact kind of thing we had in mind for our dollhouse! We just never got around to it, probably due to being kids.

[@miniaturescookingandmore6583]

It came out beautiful!

[@jenniewader]

Beautiful ❤️ I love this so much!

Where the floor was a tad short... Id do a faux trim on where the wall meets the floor to hide it...

[@jessicacaraballo645]

This house is such an excellent neutral base to add to in the future... Any kind of rugs or art or add ins could fit... It looks so clean and fancy I would have loved to have this as a kid
