Papa and I had so much fun making Kalan's Barbie house bookshelf. Lots of late nights sawing, sanding and painting but every bit with love.
Now I remember playing Barbie's in my dresser. I still think it makes the best Barbie house. It was an old one with doors and shelves inside. My friends had the fancy cardboard ones but mine was the best to me.
I tried to convince my daughter as she was growing up that store bought was not necessarily the best way to go. But I will admit that the old cardboard Barbie house did give way to a much fancier version that made the cabinet that I gave her look pretty sad.
But now we are in a new generation and it is an era of 'home made is best made'. Well, if there is one thing my Daddy taught me, it was to use my hands. Luckily, he taught me more than one thing and that includes how to use most woodworking tools. So when Melissa asked us to make Kalan's Barbie house bookshelf. All I said was, "How high, how wide and what color?"
