Barbie Family House

I bought this house over 2 months ago at an estate sale. 
Same one from where I bought the Sunshine family.

  1. I have bought this house and the furniture at a flea market a couple of years ago. The furniture looks right but then I'm no expert.

    Nice find :O)

  2. Thanks, I believe the one piece (brown round object in the bedroom) belongs to the first Barbie house that was made out of heavy cardboard.
    Last year, I saw someone selling one on E-Bay that they had redone. It was really nice. I am not that talented to try something like that.

  3. See now you are just showing off! Super cute house. I'm actually not a collector of plastic houses, but I enjoy seeing them.

  4. I got that house in 1974 or 75 for Christmas. It was the same layout, only with more modern furniture. Lovely, sweet memories from this one!

  5. @Vanessa, Thanks,I have to show off my house since I am not as talented as someone I know who makes beautiful displays. These will have to do for now.

    @Pixie, Yes things like this bring back such great memories from years gone by.

  8. First of all sorry if this post more than once...I'm having trouble. In the book Barbie Doll Structures and Furniture it shows your house and a picture of the accessories. It states the accessories to include: 1 orange twin bed, 2 yellow and black chairs, 1 yellow table with black top with red flower, 1 black sofa with blue seat. Great Find!
