apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Hahaha! I had that dream house, too! The elevator made it the coolest -- how in the heck can any girl wrangle a Barbie up those spiral stairs? And all that PINK! My eyes are burning!

Thanks for the trip back in time!

i put on a whole play for my family. my brother collected tickets and they all sat on the kitchen chairs i'd brought up to my room

I had two barbie dream houses, both were hand me downs. I had the first one in the slide show, the one that folded up, from my mom although the one we had was in shades of green and blue. and the 1979 a-frame one that I got from an older cousin. the a-frame one was the best!

My friend had that top one -- I loved playing with it! That shag rug on the 2nd floor eventually made it into my living room as an adult! Great memories. :)

I think I had the largest one ever made...it was orange and yellow from the early/mid 80s and had three separate parts, fully removable furniture, windows that opened and flower boxes. It was the size of a small dresser.

this one, only it was yellow and orange

I had that same one, Enamorada (but mine was pink)! I used to reenact Hitchcock's Vertigo with Barbies on the roof of mine.

I had the late 70's version - the yellow and orange one. It had large triangle tiles to make different iterations of her patio. I also had the 80's Dream Cottage. They were awesome. And in all honestly, this should be in the present tense, I still have all my Barbie stuff in storage.

I had that one! Only from the eighties, it may have been updated a bit, the elevator was pink. :)

I also had that A-Frame house (Barbie's Beach House) in Enamorada's post.

For the four Barbies I owned, they had swank pads. :)

(confession, I also still own all these pieces...in storage of course...)

AWESOME - thanks for the flashback. I had that dreamhouse but it was missing the elevator. MY Barbies magically floated to each level. ;)

The Barbie Dream House made this farm girl from Indiana HAVE to live in a building with an elevator in New York City!! That was the BEST christmas gift EVER!!

I had the same 1979 style house, except I think the roof was pink. I loved that house.
