$1 shop up

I try not to frequent dollar stores but once and a while they carry a cool item that I can use for an art project or class. I’ve seen this dollhouse furniture several times but never thought much of it. After my doll house camp, it gave me an idea…can I transform this simple wood furniture into something cute? Here’s what I came up with.

wood chair before

After! A little paint and a fabric cushion, cute!

add a Maileg mouse, cuteness increase

bed before

I painted the bed and added some pillows and blankets.

I think these are great, for a dollar, you can create something pretty nice. They also had a table, two different dressers, and a buffet. The only problem with this dollhouse furniture is the scale. The chair seems to be 1:12 scale but the bed is something totally different and I’m not sure what it is. Not a huge problem if you just want have fun. They also have quite a lot of dried glue on them and need to be sanded smooth. Again, for what they are, I think they are cool and a fun way for kids (or adults) to make miniatures.
