5 steps for turning an old bookshelf into an amazing doll house!

Hello! This is Lanie (again) we're going to be getting a spring design soon. But Mother (Meg) has been super busy was Dazzling Design Studio he design blog. But we'll probably have it soon. (Possibly on Sunday!)Also we might be making a video with interviews. 

Anyway I'll get to the actual post now. 

Today I'm going to post about how to make a doll house ( best for 13 and eighteen inch dolls).

(NOTE: This was actually now we live on the top shelf in her closet. We'll post more about that later.)

Step 1: Find an old bookshelf. NOTE: Make sure that it it's okay with your parents, and you don't need the bookshelf any more.

Step 2: Make sure your doll(s) can fit in at least one of the rows like the picture below 

Step 3:Decorate it! Decorate all the rooms the bed rooms, the kitchen, the bathroom and more!

NOTE: If you have a lot of dolls like us, you can make every room a bedroom. But, if you have only one or two dolls, feel free to get creative and  make other rooms. (For example: Bedroom, bathroom, craft room, garden,  TV room and more!)

Here are some ideas



(Note from owner) Felicity is into sports and horses, she's a tomboy. So I designed her poster.



(Note from owner) Lanie is into nature and animals so I made this poster for her room.

Make a poster for your doll!

Step 4: (For bedrooms) Furnish it! For a bedroom put in bedding. (See the picture of me above.) Then Make it her style! If she loves dogs give her a stuffed dog or a dog poster, if she loves dance give her a dance poster or a dance trophy. (For other rooms) If it's a TV room you can make a TV out of cardboard or paper. Is it a library or reading nook? then get little books and comfy bedding. You can almost anything! Just get creative and think!

Step 5: Move your dolls to their new home! Find a spot in your room to keep it in. It's very handy, it doesn't take up much space at all! Just find a good area and set it up. Now let your dolls enjoy their new living space!

Here are some pictures of my complete doll house:

We talked it over through the break and finally decided that we could have a...

GIVEAWAY!

Our very first giveaway! It's nothing huge since we obviously don't have any sponsors. (Maybe when we get more popular...) Anyway Sarah and Meg insisted we have a commercial thingy so here we go:

Do you only have historical and girl of the year dolls? Or maybe you got you my american girl doll back when she was called a just like me doll? Or maybe you don't have any AG dolls at all and really want one? Well we have a solution! A free two week pass to innerstaru.com!

Anyway you know how at the end off the choose your own ending books they have a bookmark with a code? Well it has a two week full member ship to innerstaru. That's what Mama used before she got Kassy. (Fun fact: She chose the one Kassy looked like and named it Kasandra. Thats why she ended up naming her Kassandra. Kassy for short.)
