If you read my earlier blog then you know that Santa got a little lazy this year and delivered a dollhouse that needs to be assembled (meaning painted and glued together).
I thought the hardest part would be trying to put everything together. Boy, was I wrong.
Surprisingly, the most difficult part has been trying to find furniture.
Sure, there are tons of options out there. There are some dollhouse kitchens that are nicer then mine:
I was also looking to try and do a mid century modern style because I thought it would look cute with the house that I was building, and frankly I am obsessed with that style right now.
I found a cute company called Smaland and they make a special dollhouse, that is designed like a mid centuary modern house, but you can also buy the furnature that will work in a lot of different houses.
Once again their stuff is a little on the pricey side for a dollhouse for a three year old, but I did end up getting this really cute living room set.
I spent I can’t tell you how many hours trying to find more stuff like this and I couldn’t find it.
The hardest to find was the kitchen.
Luckily my mom, who is a super Internet sleuth, found a really cute kitchen, in the proper size on Walmart.com from Melissa and Doug.
Walmart also had it on sale for $19.94 and I qualified for free shipping because I ended up spending more than $50 when I also purchase the furniture for the bedroom and bathroom.
While the bedroom and bathroom aren’t necessarily the style I was looking for, I think with a little modernizing it will work.
All in all it has been a success. They are going to arrive at the house Friday so they will be here in time for Christmas.
Did you have any hard to find or hard to decide on items this holiday season? Leave your comments below.
