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.

  1. Here is my latest blog about the 1978 Dream House. It's been decorated for Christmas, although I couldn't find the Barbie size tree I have. The dolls and outfits--from 1970 to 1979--are dressed for the cold. It makes me think of Elsa and her comment about "the cold never bothered me any way." https://skippercollector.blogspot.com/2024/12/1970s-dolls-visit-1978-dream-house-for.html
