My parents got a little doll house like that for my granddaugher! It was not painted, so you can paint it yourself. It had some furniture and a couple of little hand-painted dolls. I painted it, but it took me awhile. (my hands get numb at times)I like to do crafts like that, but it’s hard to do too much of it anymore because of that!
It took me a long time to get it done for her; but she discovered it in a closet. (I still wasn’t quite finished with it)She wanted so bad to play with it anyway! So I let her go ahead and play with it! Most of the painting was finally done, and the furniture too.
What I had trouble getting finished, was the little curtains and chair covers to put in it, I just couldn’t finish it. But the little girl, bless her heart, told me she wanted to play with it anyway! She and I just stuck tiny stickers on some room for pictures, and got dollar-store toy furniture to supplement the few pieces already in it.
Then we stuck the little pieces of material I had bought for curtains on with glue and tape! That might not last long, and we might have to have a more permanent solution to sticking them on. But heck, the child finally got to play with her dollhouse! She loves it! Even if it wasn’t a fancy, trendy barbie or other commercially made dollhouse!
It’s funny..but sometimes it is us adults who want everything ‘perfect’ at times like that...the kids don’t care though, they just want to play...lol. I had some similar experiences with my great niece. She hated ‘waiting’ on various components to dry or be finished.
For future reference, Hobby Lobby has lots of dollhouse supplies.
