We're really trying hard not to spend too much money on our dollhouse. I always like to see what I can get for cheap/for free and see what I can do it make it better.
This week while in the dollar store we found wooden doll furniture! Perfect size for our house and only a dollar each. Of course, we're not going to use them as is. I'm thinking we will either stain them or paint them with chalk paint. But look at all the goodies we found!
Before you Buy you Should Know . . .
Chairs
On chairs you can really tell they were not made super well. All the furniture was glued together.
The spindles on the back of the chair are not straight and some of the chairs have more than others.
But for a dollar, I think we can make them work! We will definitely paint or stain them though.
Dressers
All of the dressers and anything with a drawer are not actually drawers. If you are looking for some that do have actual drawers there are some cute options at Hobby Lobby that I will link!
Miniature Unfinished Wood Cuboard (We bought this one and it is so cute!)
Table
The table is a bit smaller than the chairs that they sell at the Dollar Store. For us, it isn't a huge deal but I thought it would be something good to note.
Here are a table and chairs I think is also a cute option if you are wanting something a little fancier!
Bed
The bed is definitely pretty small! Here is a size comparison to the chair. But for one dollar I think that it was worth it! Especially for Calico Critters, I think this is a perfect size. I also think that we will find or make another bed just for the aesthetic though.
Here are a few other options for beds:
Other Supplies From the Dollar Store
Wooden Chest
This is the perfect little storage box for any of your dollhouse accessories! It would be cute at the end of a bed or even in a playroom to store extra toys or clothing to keep it hidden.
I plan to stain it or paint it white of course!
Mini Glass Containers
These would be super cute to have mini pieces of candy or cookies inside sitting on a cute hutch or countertop.
I found these cute little lollipops and I think they would be super cute inside!
Popsicle Sticks
These are always great to have on hand. You could use them to create shiplap for the walls or even wood flooring would be super cute!
Wooden Pallets
We got these to have on hand in case we came up with a good idea. But they might be good for making a porch swing with cushions, or even putting them together to make a cute little pallet bed.
