Barbie House Designs in Miniature

Before we begin exploring these houses ..

It is because of the fame of this Famous Fashion Doll that she is one of our first stops in our miniature dollshouse designs tour. But before we start all that ..

For your information, one of our own personal passions when we were eight, was the creation of some very crude doll clothes for fashion dolls. Just thinking about it makes us laugh.

Picture it, two to three holes cut into cloth and crudely wrapped around our poor doll. If she only knew she would have willingly disowned us. She was our personal "cave-woman" version, fashion doll.

We have chosen Amazon to research a Barbie House because of the fact that each item you are considering includes the use of other people's various opinions of the item. Any doll's home with a number of reviews to read is always a great point of interest for us.

Generally, if someone has absolutely loved or hated their purchase you may read their comments online. Thus helping you to come to a definite conclusion with a "yes I will buy" or "no I will not".

Taking Creative Steps to Make the Best Barbie House Ever

If you are a serious collector/dollhouse lover you may or may not enjoy your mini mansion in plastic. We know, personally, we would not, but that is just our opinion on the matter.

The better idea for us would be to invest a small amount of time in building a worthwhile dollshouse ourselves. Yes it would take more time but think of the added benefits of doing a project like that.

Imagine getting into all the details in miniature. Your personal taste in Kitchen, Dining Room, Bedroom, Bathroom, and Living Room layout.

What a true labour of love that would be. And isn't that what being in this hobby is all about anyway. The love of the craft.

Try this Alternate Idea as well ..

On Second Thought, though, What about using the Design in Plastic as a Start Point to Recreate your own Barbie House? For instance, purchase the most sound one and totally renovate it?

For some that might be an excellent idea especially if you feel unskilled in working with wood. Or perhaps if it is a tad bit intimidating to think of constructing such an immense project on your own.

The Pros and Cons Surface

But as well you may say that some of those Plastic Houses are Expensive so gutting it to renovate may be more Money Spent in the Wrong Direction.

Though thinking in terms of the pros and cons, what about the expense of starting from scratch with wood? Most likely a project in wood will require as much expense if not even more.

Guess it's as they say, it depends on what you are looking for and your overall budget. We are just here to throw some ideas around and help you choose what your next doll's home project will be.
