A Doll Lifestyle Blog
Jasmine is our girly girl and she’s loving her new floral wallpaper and cup of tea.
For a while now, I thought how could I create a room set up where I could swap out the “wallpaper?” I really needed to give it the head space it deserved because I knew it could be extremely useful for many in the doll community. What I’ve come up with is a way to create walls that you can interchange with different papers for endless different looks and also deconstruct and store flat.

I think everyone loves a good Doll Thrift Haul! I honestly could watch them for hours on YouTube while doing crafts or doing chores around the house. Of course, I am always looking for great deals on dolls and their accessories, but I also always have my eye out for items that can be re-purposed for doll dioramas. It’s really amazing how many miniature items are out there, you just have to keep your eyes open wide!
These chairs are so popular in human scale and so many design rooms, that I had to figure out how to make them using inexpensive materials. So, as promised here is a picture tutorial of how I constructed this chair. This post is quick and dirty and much rougher formatting than normal, but since it’s an extra post, I hope you don’t mind!
If you have been following us for a while on Instagram, you know I absolutely love to craft with wood. Give me some glue and Popsicle sticks and I can keep busy for hours. I am a problem solver, so a lot of my creations just evolve as I glue pieces of wood together, that is also why it is hard for me to prepare tutorials while I am working on something, but I will do my best to give you some great pointers and resources!
Welcome to this year’s Design Challenge!! What better day to kick off a Spring Challenge than the first day of Daylight Savings!?! Here in California it definitely feels like the unofficial start of Spring even though we are expecting rain showers this week. What will you do with another hour of daylight?
This week is all about you and your creativity! Last year we held Bruni’s first Design Challenge where we challenged our Instagram followers to create a diorama based on a real life room design. Here were the rooms entrants could recreate:

The girls are putting on a Valentine’s Day pageant! I thought it would be fun to put together a whimsical theater type set of a park in Paris. I was inspired to put together crafts that were made with Dollar Tree items only for this holiday. I hope you enjoy this idea look book and a few easy DIY’s!
If you are here, Happy New Year and Welcome! This is the first official post of 2018 and the launch of the Brunbellebarbie blog!
Antique mason jars have been a staple in home and event decor for quite some time now, so why shouldn’t our dolls have these beautiful farmhouse accents in their own homes! They compliment many popular accessories that are available too!
For those that love to create realistic dioramas, exterior scenes are a must. In our row of shops we added a sidewalk and items you would see on the average street including street signs! Read on to find out how we made ours:
