Barbie Dollhouse:Completed and Delivered

WOW! That’s a great house, let alone a doll house. I bet there isn’t even a contest for #1 Grandpa, you blew that right out of the water. Amazing.

I had enjoyed following your blog on this build and the final product is very impressive. You did a fantastic job!

That is the most lucky girl on the planet to have a grandfather like you.
What a wonderful dollhouse!
Such fine details all over.
I’m really impressed.
And if it makes a difference I’m a architect and has build tons of model houses in my time.
Way to go!
Best thoughts,

thanks guy. means a lot coming from fellow woodworkers, especially architects. her mother and biological father are divorced and my son is her step dad so she has 3 grandfathers and i have no doubt i’m her favorite. at least for the time being. lol
I forgot to mention the dimensions of this thing. 48” wide, 30” deep plus 5” more for bay window, and just over 40” tall to the roof peak. was originally going to be over 50” tall but time constraints cancelled second flight of stairs and a full height attic. it is built in three sections so it can fit through internal doors.

thanks again!

Roger – very impressive. As mentioned above, your granddaughter is very fortunate to have a loving grandfather such as you. Your attention to detail is awesome. It would be difficult to discern whether these are pictures of a house or a doll-house. Fantastic.

Only one thing, though. I don’t think your stairs would meet IRC or OSHA standards. Knowing Barbie and her friends, she might be inclined to sue the builder of the house!!

-- I've never seen a tree that I wouldn't like to repurpose into a project. I love the smell of wood in the morning - it smells like victory.

BillyJ… lol on the stairs. If she were an only child I would have installed railings on the stairs but with 5 younger siblings they wouldn’t have lasted long. I would have also installed muttins in the windows and doors if she were alone. had to make it “kid proof.”

thanks for the feedback

Wow, that doll house has nicer flooring than my own home.

Seven other grandkids….how are you going to top this. I hope they live near by, shipping would be a bear.
