but just could not find anything that was 1..in our budget..

This is adorable! I want to share it on my blog, do you mind? My blog name is Ms Smartie Pants so when I see someone who has done something really special I show it off and give them a Ms Smartie pants award. I wish I had a house like this for me!
Julia is waving and waving and waving at you in the video .... so funny.

Amazing! This doll house is beyond cute.
This is so creative and adorable! We want to get Evie a dollhouse for her 2nd birthday, coming in July. I really want wooden and love how you did this on a budget! I was wondering, what dolls do your girls have to use with this doll house?
i want to redo my daughter's dollhouse now....beautiful!
Oooh my gosh - this is just so so so creative and cute. Way to go, Momma! You've made me hope for a girl now. There's only so much fun that can be had with monster trucks :)
This is AMAZING! Oh and I LOVE how you incorporated your love and faith in God in the adorable posters. I can't wait to duplicate this for my daughter! Thanks for sharing.
This is so cute. I have been trying to figure out how to make decent looking, inexpensive furniture for a cragslist dollhouse bookshelf. Look at your daughters face, she looks like a super happy girl!
Oh oh I adore!!! I cannot wait to do something like this for my 2 1/2 year old...maybe for her birthday in August!!!
love this dollhouse so much! i agree with you about plastic, pink house there's something special about the wooden ones :)
How precious!!! Having such a cute dollhouse is already awesome, but one that your mom decorated with so much care and love is priceless! Great mamma, lucky girls!
(so sad in my country I would pay at least 150 for just the frame of the house, even if used :( )
This turned out so beautifully! You did a great job-hope I can do it one day!
This is AMAZING! I love it so much. I will now be on the lookout for an empty house to fix up for my girls. Thanks for the great inspiration!
Wow! You are so creative. Where do you find the time and energy with all that you do?
Wow! This is SO Neat! Going to be referencing when I'm ready to DIY a dollhouse for my little one :). Lovely job!!
Great job on your project! I'm doing a similar one for my kids, but I'm having trouble finding graphics for the kitchen wall of cabinets...any suggestions? Thanks!
This is a wonderful idea and looks great!! Thank you for sharing my boys are wanting a doll house thinking of building something simple have a feeling they wont play with it for very long!
I love your site. <3 So many ideas to do with my little one. <3
Thanks for sharing.
I love your blog!!! You have so many have such inspiring things on here and your personality is so fun and lively. I love the dollhouse!! Great job! I also saw that you are expecting in November and so am I. I'm pregnant with our 2nd child. We have a little girl Rowynn. We just had our ultrasound, but did not find out. I was just wondering if you guys found out what you're having? I just wanted to let you know that I can't wait to see more from you!!
Take care. Gabrielle
That is the most precious dollhouse EVER! Love the simplicity and charm! Awesome details with recycled materials too!
I love what you've done here.. and I'm about to begin work on a dollhouse myself. I had a question about the kitchen... is that background of countertops and everything an image attached to the wall? OR does it have actual mini counters?
Love all your projects. So inspired.
This is soooo beautiful, you did an amazing job...you and your daughter will get so many hours of fun from it, my niece and I love playing with her dollhouses. I make them from scratch using cardboard and paper mache, but I would love to find an old dollhouse frame and work with it...going to kijiji right now :)
Cool doll house, guess you and your daughter enjoyed doing this one. I remember me and my mom picking out some LA furniture for our newly-renovated home. I think that doing things together with your family will really create a tight bond to any relationship.
This is the cutest thing ever! My daughter will absolutely love this. I will make this my next project but I definitely need my hubby's help. I will start looking for materials and tools online. Just thinking about it makes me so excited!
Absolutely an awesome dollhouse! All the little details made me smile :)
