the furniture is really nice...yeah I thought maybe a rug or two here and there. You could use linen tea towel piece and fray the edges. Also some greenery/flowers would look nice too - your friend will love it!!

Popsicle sticks make great floor boards for doll houses^^
adding plants will make it look more friendly and colorful :) I feel like there are only 2 main colors white and brown it made it look a little too plain but it's still looks really good.

This is the second dollhouse makeover I've seen using simular colours and although the finished dollhouses looked great, it makes me wonder if it's been changed for the child or their mum. Would the child rather have the bright coloured dollhouse?
18:26 is probably what your looking for!
Love the soft green on the walls and the dotted material in the baby cot.
Now that's a doll house! I am a doll collector and need to do this!

I have a question, I’m only learning bit by bit. I have 1/16 dolls house in fact I have i have about 3 but they have no front doors does any one know an easier way to put a door a on with a frame included
You made it look so modern and attractive. The original was really cute anyway but for a child, now it looks like an item to decorate your house with. Great job
Another fellow aussie here, the doll house looks so bloody good!!! 💚👌🏻🇦🇺
I had this dollhouse when I was 7 or 8 and shared with my younger sister it is so nostalgic to see it be made into something more 2019 style. I looks amazing!

I love how you did the furniture and the nursery, it looks so cool and I love it. I think it is also cool that you were going of of Joanna Gaines.
I've been wanting to do this for a while now. You've got me REALLY wanting to do it now lol! It turned out so good!
my grandmother makes them from scratch, it's awesome who see does it. cuts the wood, makes the bricks and all that. i always love to help her!
Not even kidding this dolls house looks better than my house in real life...
personally I'd add a plant or something for that pop of color and life. there are plastic buxus bolls where you can just pull 1 segment out of and stick it in a tiny pot and it would already look like a miniature plant. I do this all the time for stop motion videos and stuff where I need to make miniatures for. That said I really like the idea of dollhouse make overs.

This is perfect! I love how it turned out. I've got a thrift-shop house similar to yours and it really needs a make over.
Ooh you’ve given me a cool idea. I want to make to make over an old dollhouse into a mid century modern or retro 1960s or 70s style.
As a miniaturist that has made more dollhouses than I can remember, I applaud your creativity to work with what you have. Great job!

So cute! like your attention to details. The nursery is my favorite room
Love this. Im picking up the exact same house seconed hand today. You have given me some great ideas for an upcycle for my daughters birthday pressie. I have Barbie furniture from another seller, so just need to paint and do the flooring. So excited now. Love upcycles and saving money.
I love how your doll house turned out!
I think Calico critters have nice add ins that would be nice for this house
Wow! Beautiful doll house!
I love this. It's nice to see a realistic home.
This is ABSOLUTELY stunning!!! You make it look so easy, but I know this had to be a ton of work. I love the clean, chic look, it's just gorgeous!!
oh gosh, we had that goose tablecloth when i was a kid. the amount of nostalgia i felt when i saw it was intense!
You did a wonderful job on this fixer upper. I love the color choices you made, they are beautiful, crisp, clean and so fresh looking...hugs from Arizona, USA ... ;)

I had this exact doll house! My sister and I paid $25 each for it because we really wanted it. It got thrown out last year because it was worse for wear and falling apart. But this is the exact kind of thing we had in mind for our dollhouse! We just never got around to it, probably due to being kids.
It came out beautiful!
for the bathroom you can score the floor tile so it looks like it is many tiles and not just one
It looks great! I love how it turned out, and I love your wainscoting method! I'll have to try that when I get my new dollhouse. :D Thanks for sharing!

A hand held hair drier is great to remove labels and should work for stickers as long as you get the glue residue with it.
I love her eyes
Absolutely stunning...
Looks nice. Could use some more soft furnishings like rugs, curtains and a shower curtain. Maybe some towels in the bathroom. And A few plants would definitely make it pop.
Great Doll House
It looks awesome and I would buy that one instead of a Barbie dream house
I like how you re-decorated the dollhouse. It needs some little books, a sink in the kitchen (dolls need clean dishes), and your idea for little rugs would have made it look more homier. I think your friend will love it! She can add the books, rugs, etc. right? It looks a darn sight better than it did when it was all those garish colours as a Barbie house! ~ Janet in Canada
It looks like modern house I love it👍
this is so cute! the only thing I would add to it is some rugs hardwood floor everywhere gets kind of boring.
This is awesome looking :)
OMG this is so cute. I can't.
Beautiful add a cushion to the baby’s lay table. In the same colors as the room to give a little more pop it looks great
I'll honestly want this as my house 😭
