Beach Towel Storage Out Of A Barbie Dream House

Everyone, including Barbie, deserves the house of their dreams.
Someone gave us a wooden Barbie Dream House when Rebekah was little.
At some point it received a decorating overhaul.
It'd been up in my classroom until I quit my job a few months ago.

I was trying to come up with a place to store our beach towels.
I spotted this piece waiting to be put back up into the attic.

 Barbie's domicile was exactly the proportions I needed. 

I popped the towels inside and turned it around so that the whimsical cottage side was showing.
Barbie had window treatment issues and the bright graphics of the towels were peeking through the windows.
It wasn't going with the neutral scheme of our little sunroom.
"It's time to do a little updating, Barbie. Your valance is looking a little 1990s."

Drop cloth fabric could make some darling Farmhouse style drapes.

 Kabob skewers are perfect doll house curtain rods.

I hot glued the fabric to the skewers, pinching it along to length to mimic gathers.

The curtains were hot glued into place.

This brought back fun memories.
I think I had more fun decorating the Barbie's house than Rebekah.

Perfect.

No beach-y colors show now.

Adorable.
I'll be back with more of our summer sunroom.
Have a great day.
