More Customs to Amaze & Inspire

1978 Classic: factory new ~ 

And the one of a kind customs...

Miami Vice colors:

This would also be great for Barbie & the Rockers or Jem's Misfits house.  

I'm so glad to see stacked stone incorporated into the house. I was thinking of doing a house with a brown roof and tan floors and I can see here how the tan floors work really well. 

I have struggled with if and how much to enclose the house with foam board inserts. I am perfectly happy to add ground level side panels to enclose the kitchen and living rooms but upstairs I leave open.

Dusty rose floors & doors and charcoal black roof refresh this A Frame; flowers in the beds would look great; I love that it is the same size as the cube storage shelf below and how it illustrates that those who want additional rooms can simply sit the house atop a shelf system rather than snapping off wall posts to turn two houses into a larger one. 

The highlight of this home is the custom garage, though yellow edges would be more cohesive and blend better. A+ on the staging and Ferrari. 

Interesting, though it looks permanently modified and I am somewhat unclear on the theme. Either way, needs flowers and the two original yellow doors now don't match. But at least someone had a fun craft project for the month? Cut to future FB marketplace listing with no buyers.

Fun Times:

Love it, need to make some custom railing and 360 fireplace!

Mega Mansion:

Supplies, post painted, pre constructon:

During, though I have mostly only sprayed parts white again as the bleaching process is not quite 100%:

Assuming the center space is a large glass window, it is an interesting change up of how the balconies are used with the half window doors:

Triple Story black and white creation: 

2 story cottage with upgraded patio and yard:

 

While it beats the pants off present day Barbie Dreamhouses, I still dislike the absence of color from these once cheerful play sets, this could have been created easily with crafting materials:

A well executed black & white redo: clean and uncluttered. As the white is super white, I am guessing that the walls were repainted, as I have only ever been able to obtain this level of white with painting. This house really is at its best with minimal embelishment as we can see here. 

Project in progress. Looks like an all grey and white treatment: my only note here would be to disassemble the house prior to painting if you are going to paint it. 

Speaking of customs, if large, airy rooms are desired, and a regular sincgle A Frame house doesnt quite do the job, consider this set up using standard bookshelves as a solution. Ive always wanted to try this, dollar store light stick-ums complete the project. This way, a vintage toy doesnt have to be destroyed by painting and snapping off wall posts to make it larger. Think it over.
