Best Saturday part I-Barbie Furniture

Last Saturday was awesome. It started out with My sister Morgan and I making furniture for Barbies. My Grandma Kay did this for me when I was little. If you know me very well, you know that Barbies were pretty much my all time favorite toy, and I LOVED setting up their furniture. Several years ago I made a Barbie house complete with furnishings for my sister and I had so much fun doing it that I wanted to do it again for Peyton (yeah, and I confess, mostly for me!). I knew she wouldn't really care yet, but it would be a fun project and she would hopefully love it someday. I was so wrong! She loves it now and it is so cute to watch her play. She puts her Barbie in the bed and covers her and then puts her finger to her lips and says, "Shh"

This is my sister upholstering the couch I made using a cereal box. We made a great team.

Here is the lounge chair I made from a cereal box and a cheezit box before it was upholstered.

This is the Living room furniture and the fabric over the back of the highchair is the curtains for the room. I am going to be putting Ty's carpentry skills to the test again and have him make some wood boxes for me to use as the rooms. I used cardboard the last time but I want it to be nice and last this time. I am going to use Plexiglas for the windows, if I can find it, last time I used a Ziploc bag! Nice, I know. I have learned and I'm improving. Caleen, the button on the lounge chair pillow is one I got from you, thanks!

My sister is covering the headboard. All of the fabric we are using is from Laz e Boy samples that my grandma got from her sister who works there, all free, and sometimes I use old clothing. Denim is especially good for furniture.

Do you see how happy this child is? She really likes all the throw pillows too. I will post more pics when I start getting the rooms together. I made a little boys furniture set in Americana theme that is my favorite. I'll get pics of that one for sure.

Please let me know if you have any ideas for more accessories, furniture or decor. I'm thinking of using mirrors from old compacts for the bathroom. Not sure how to make sinks and a tub yet. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
