Dollar Tree DIY Summer Doll Rooms

My newest series is a challenge to create a new room style made 100% out of Dollar Tree Items…the only exception is glue, paint, and the occasional cereal box. Each month I’ve selected a new room style/theme and then record a video tour showing the items I used to create the room. The videos can be seen on Instagram (links below). Each quarter I will post these rooms in a recap here on a the blog. Check out the current rooms below and stay tuned for more each quarter!

Glam Room

The first room in my Dollar Tree series was the Glam room closet and dressing room. This room is the ultimate fashion doll haven for all of their clothing, accessories, and makeup.

Classic Boho Loft Living Room

This room was inspired by designer Justina Blakenley/ Jungalow. Classic boho style is colorful, eclectic, and welcoming with lots of lush plants.

MCM Living Room

Everyone loves Mid Century Modern these days, so we had to include a room in the series. This was probably the hardest room to put together, but I prevailed! MCM has fun colors and funky shapes, it just makes you happy!

Boho Minimalist Bedroom

For the neutral lover, we have scaled things back a bit and created a calming bedroom full of texture and warmth.

During the Fall Series we will have a variety of rooms starting next week on September 15th. Be sure to check Instagram for a first hand look. September will be an Industrial Library, October will include a Farmhouse Modern Dining Room, a Gothic Bedroom (I think – a bonus), and a Rustic living room in November.

This series is so fun and I hope that it inspires you to look at things differently when shopping at the Dollar Tree or anywhere else.

Keep Creating!

XO,

Rie & Bruni

  1. Your rooms are absolutely adorable. I know I pore over every aisle at Dollar Tree and a few more store. It takes me over an hour to walk through a Michaels or a hardware store. Such great ideas—the winner for reuse for was the badminton birdie lampshade…Really a great post, I’m not an instagram user so please keep posting here…So cute! Sandi

    1. Thank you! I don’t have a Michael’s near me, but when I get a chance to go it so fun! I adore scouring the hardware store as well! I have an older post in fun finds from the hardware store! 😊

    1. Thank you! I may have explained more in the Instagram tour I posted around this same time. If you are referring to the yarn items, I made a loom based on a few YouTube tutorials and went from there. It’s pretty simple, you can even make one using cardboard.

  2. Enjoyed this post… great rooms, very creative, love the badminton birdy as a lamp shade! Trying for realism can be difficult, just because of scale but, I think it’s all the details that truly help! Not on instagram so appreciate the post!!

    1. Thank you, I like the challenge of limited sources, its fun, but when not limited its definitely easier to get even more realism (like in my kitchen). With Dollar Tree prices going up, it’s not as cost effective to do this series anymore.

      1. Have you ever constructed your own kitchen pieces? I made a kitchen I’m very happy with and the cabinets are all made out of cardboard, foamboard, paper, beads and paint. I used pieces from the Rainbow High house I found on ebay, like the stove, frig and faucet piece for a very reasonable price. Wish I could show you… and, then wouldn’t you know I painted it a color I don’t like so, I’m thinking of redoing the entire kitchen… awww, the fun!

  3. Yes, yes, yes… I just checked out your kitchen, how did I miss that before??!! Stunning, well done… my jaw dropped to the floor. Best kitchen I’ve ever seen and I’ve been doing this for a very long time! Need to check out more of your older posts just in case I missed another one… thank you!!
