Rainbow High Color and Play House (Part Three)

 Oh, my aching back.  And knees.


But progress is being made.


I used a box flap to make a "door" for where the two houses meet.  You can see it better in the first picture... very in keeping with the whole rainbow theme.  I can't decide if I like that blue sectional or not. 


The kid room's "door" on the second floor.


On the dining room side, I taped a calendar picture to the back of the box flap.


The unopened kitchen set, two unopened bathroom sink & toilet sets, the second sectional, and the used pink kitchen.  These are available for adoption by my dolly friends.  First come, first served.


I spent most of the day sitting about where that rice cooker is, sorting through the pantry. Who put the floor so dang far down there?!  


Kitchen, complete with stocked cabinets and fridge.  I managed to keep most of the pantry.  That tall skinny shelf is from the Minibrands Books.  Most of the appliances are Minibrands Home - the scale is not consistent at all, but I can make it work. The food items are mostly Wacky Packages or Shopkins. Dishes are mostly Teeny Tinies or Minibrands Home.


Dining Room.  Each table came with only two chairs but I put all four around this table.  It's too small for the huge family I'm gonna have in this house, but how often does a whole family sit down and eat together nowadays?  I did keep the second table for things like Thanksgiving.  I have a whole bunch of dining chairs (mostly pink) on standby, too.


Living room.  I'm still undecided about the sectional.  


Library.  The tiny chair here and the one in the last picture are from the Minibrands Home collection - they work well for the babies.  The wall art says "I read banned books".  Can you guess where most of the books came from?


Bunkroom.  They can't fit much more in here! 


One of the teen or adult rooms.  Gage for scale.  (Not really.  He was just there.)


Little bunkroom.  The larger playthings I left on the bookcase as a basement playroom.


Second teen/adult room. 


Parents-of-baby's room.


Deck number one is for fooseball.  Also babies and kitties.


Quilter's room.


Deck number two is for the telescope. Jonathan is sitting on the "ball" from a Lord of the Rings Minibrand.  I just liked the look and decided it's a stool.  


Doll corner.  The plastic bins with sorted accessories are on top of the shelving unit. Three shelves and a tabletop full of people - and that's after I stopped the soap opera and thinned them out! Fourth shelf is the basement playroom. Bottom shelf holds my set pieces like the schoolroom. Clothes are in the big bin under the table. Standby furniture is in the purple bucket beside Hogwart's Express.

This dollhouse will be the primary set for storytelling.  Also, if you come over, you can play with it.

Teeny Tinies

Five Below sells "Teeny Tinies".  They are sets of minis.  The scale varies even within the set, but most of it works with Barbie scale and a little imagination.



Ty with the TT kitchen.  It's the perfect size for my Chelsea/Zoe hybrids. 


This grill was way too short for Barbie.  So I glued on some legs and we're good to go.

Besides the grill and kitchen, I have bought things like Greek Food, for the more unusual pieces. Today I picked up Holiday Party.  For the big ole ham and the lamb, mostly.


Front of the package. We can see all the goodies!  I usually pick the set with the best stickers/paint, but this was the only Holiday Party and I had to settle.  Most of the pieces are painted plastic.


The back identifies everything so an ignoramus like me knows what she's getting.  I will take the fifth on some of the silly mistakes I've made with these sets.


Behind the plastic tray holding the goodies, we find a lovely scene that matches the box front edges. Not sure why it's so orange, but they're all like that.  The lovely Aegean villa in Greek Foods was very blue.  Like we're looking through colored glass.


Dolls for scale comparison. Pumpkin pie and baking setup.


The underside of the gifts.  They do come apart but then have things sticking out the sides.


Gifts and a cracker.  The lids do come off the boxes! The cracker does nothing if you tug the ends because it's solid plastic. Imagination is required. 


Glass of milk, mug of cocoa, donuts, shaped sugar cookies, and (chocolate chip?) cookies.  



Frosting bag, sprinkles, and wafer twists. Labels are stickers.


The box of cocoa is just that - a box.  The macaroni and cheese is a sticker.


Fruitcake and mince pies.


Lamb and Ham.  Yummy!
