This is the house from HGTVs "The Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge," but as soon as the show wrapped they changed it. “The investors thought it would have higher resale value being a modern, beautiful, newly renovated home,” said the real estate agent, “They obviously weren’t going for the serious Barbie fans.” I'm a Barbie collector and there are lots of us. Someone would've bought it. Here are the befores and afters.

This is what it looks like now, and priced at $2,049,995 it just sold for $1.845M. I am so disappointed. Built in 1997, the 5bd, 5ba home is located in Canyon Country, California. HGTV looked at about 50 houses and finally bought this one for $1.750M. Each designer star team did a room and the team of  Mika and Brian Kleinschmidt of “100 Day Dream Home” won. When I was looking for before pics, a lot of the sites were no longer available- they didn't want us Barbie people to see the befores, I bet.

The family room before. I don't really care for the retro look.

Family room after. But, I don't like this white, either.

In the living room, the major features that the designers installed remain, like the two-story fireplace and the updated circular staircase. Everything else was changed to neutral gray, black & white.

The dining room. Man, they must've used an awful lot of white paint to cover up the deep colors.

The ’50s kitchen was stripped of the pastels and replaced with neutrals, but the retro Big Chill appliances—refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, stove, even the hood—are still in place, b/c they're very expensive. And, the pop-up appliance lifts on the island are still in place, too.

Ken's den wasn't changed much b/c it was cool, but they did remove the disco floor. Allison Victoria & Ty Pennington dancing on the disco floor.

Looks like they turned the walk-in closet/dressing room into an office.

It already had an office, so now it has two. Wow, they left the striped ceiling intact.

The new dull bedroom.

And, home gym.

The realtor wanted to buy the big brush on the wall, but was told that all the props had to go back to Mattel Toys.

And, finally, the pool. Mika and Brian Kleinschmidt won for their design on the pool and yard. Well, I see they kept the pink spiral stairs, yellow lifesaver and umbrella.

The dog elevator went back to Mattel, too.

Idc about where he lives or what houses he owns but there is a rumour that he sold the haunted tree house in LA and now that would be devastating just because he put so much care and there’s a trend in Cali where people tear down older houses and make them into these boring modern glass boxes

Ooh I saw these renovations on tiktok, people destroying very cute homes and turning them into ultra-modern grey ugly houses. I hope that if he moves out people won't destroy his home, it's too awesome and athypique to be eradicated, especially with his little fireplace.

I don't know how LA is and if it's full of modern houses or old houses but still, let's keep these cute homes ancient and cranky with colours and history. PLEASE.

Merry Christmas, Yuletide felicitations, ¡Feliz Navidad!, Joyeux Noël! Buon Natale! to all my wonderful followers. I hope for all those who celebrate you have a wonderful, magical and peaceful time over the next few days.

I wrote the following during NaNoWriMo, I wanted it posted yesterday or a few days ago, but Christmas eve is better than not at all. 🎄

How the Vets prepare for Christmas

Erwin

A lot of reading, he especially enjoys reading by the fireplace with a hot mug of spiced cider or mulled wine. He can sit uninterrupted for hours on end, quite content with the words of a book helping him to escape into another world for a short while.

Erwin gets his Christmas cards out early, he loves writing them whilst listening to Christmas music. He will include a round robin letter informing everyone of what he’s been up to after the past year, he also uses it as a chance to make amends and try to build bridges with others.

Simple and tasteful, traditional decorations. Will weave his own wreath and make a beautiful centrepiece for the table with foraged holly, ivy and pinecones.

The wreath goes up on his front door early, he likes his home to appear welcoming to anyone visiting.

Levi

The home has to smell wonderful 24/7, he has stove top potpuri which he redoes every few days and heats over the fireplace in the lounge.

Plenty of scented candles too, he loves the smell of spiced apple and orange.

Gets his Christmas shopping done in one trip, he detests it but would rather have one, long difficult and stressful day than many, this way he can forget about it.

Wraps his presents with meticulous care and love. They all have holly or other plant based decorations tied into the ribbon.

Levi’s advent candle would be a simple one with pictures behind each window. The morning routine in December is to wake up, make a nice tea, ideally something winter and seasonal, and then sit down at the kitchen table and open the day’s door whilst sipping tea.

Hanji

Chaotic Christmas shopper, everything is done in bits across multiple days and she ends up with more presents than she needs for everyone.

Has a very traditional Christmas tree, but some of the other decorations around her home are a little more out there, she likes to try out modern trends as well as making some quirky decorations of her own.

Christmas cards are delivered a few days before Christmas, many of them are from the years previous.

Loves a pantomime and Christmas parties, any excuse to let their hair down for once, to dress up and laugh or dance, Hanji will fully embrace the season and let herself go.

Mike

Christmas Shopping is a careful operation that he’s been planning for since early November. Typically if he sees items throughout the last few months of the year he will buy them and so come December he isn’t overwhelmed with so much to buy. Additionally he finds it stops him from buying under pressure and ending up with items he isn’t even sure the individuals will like. Instead the presents are purchased with love and plenty of though.

Similar to Erwin, traditional and tasteful decorations in his home. He prefers a real Christmas tree and isn’t particular about a colour theme. He’ll try to buy a new decoration every year to mark the year that has passed. He can recall where each and every one came from and the stories behind them. If he can purchase them whilst away in a different country all the better.

Mike likes to be the one to cook Christmas dinner, he has a Christmas chef’s apron and hat. He knows that Erwin also enjoys cooking but Erwin works harder than all of them throughout the year so Mike just wants to give him a break on the big day.

Organises or takes part in charity present drives and wants to do as much to help others as possible. Afterall it is the season. He is especially

Loves a Christmas jumper.

Moblit

Shopping is done throughout December on a few trips, all of them planned and less chaotic than the ones Hanji goes on.

Enjoys more silver, white, blue Christmas deorations and goes for that ‘Winter Wonderland’ sparkle and ice theme in his home. But somehow he still makes it cosy.

Is a fan of hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows and also some spiced rum or whiskey.

Loves Christmas music and can be found by the Christmas tree singing along as he wraps presents with great big bows. Is a big fan of bows on everything, even his Christmas jumper has a bow on it.

Winter walks are very much one of his things, he loves being outside especially on sunny but crisp days where frost gently covers all the grass and plants. He loves going on these walks with his friends, but is also happy to spend some time alone thinking about the year which is nearly over, being reflective and thinking on what he’d love from the following year. He will also gather some fir branches, holly and other plants to display in his home.

Nanaba

Christmas is a time to get cosy and be relaxed, she doesn’t want to be stressing about last minute Christmas presents or the food. So she has a Christmas organiser and everything is incredibly well planned.

She loves Red and Gold, everything to be traditional and warm. Has one of the houses with a smoking chimney, the incense cones she uses are the myrrh and frankincense ones.

Loves lighting candles, all red and green, if they’re spiced all the better.

Big fan of Christmas Hallmark movies and just wants to get under a blanket and watch them with a mulled wine or hot chocolate whilst wearing big animal slipper socks.

Loves Ice skating and will succeed in encouraging the others to join her even if they’re a little nervous, Nanaba knows how to help her friends relax and feel at ease.

"Cozy Yet Chic: Winter Blouse Trends to Keep You Warm and Stylis

Winter is the perfect season to experiment with fashion, blending practicality with style.

From luxurious fabrics to modern silhouettes, this season’s blouse trends are designed to help you look effortlessly chic while staying cozy. Let’s explore some of the must-have styles and how to incorporate them into your winter outfits.

1. Velvet Elegance

Velvet is a quintessential winter fabric, exuding warmth and luxury. Velvet blouses are trending this season with rich jewel tones like emerald green, deep burgundy, and sapphire blue. Opt for designs with puffed sleeves or high necklines to keep the cold at bay while adding a dramatic flair to your look. Pair a velvet blouse with tailored trousers or an A-line skirt for a sophisticated outfit perfect for dinners or holiday parties.

2. Oversized and Layerable

Oversized blouses are not only comfortable but also incredibly versatile for layering. Choose styles with turtlenecks or button-up collars that can be worn under cozy sweaters or jackets. For a modern twist, try an oversized plaid blouse paired with skinny jeans and knee-high boots. The relaxed fit ensures comfort, while the layering adds dimension to your outfit, making it perfect for casual outings.

3. Knit Blouses for Extra Warmth

Knit blouses are the ultimate blend of warmth and chic. These blouses, often made from soft wool or cashmere blends, feature stylish details like ribbed textures, balloon sleeves, or asymmetrical hems. Pair a fitted knit blouse with high-waisted pants for a polished look, or opt for a cropped style to wear with a maxi skirt. Knit blouses are versatile enough to take you from a cozy day at home to a stylish evening out.

4. Embellished Blouses for Festive Flair

Winter is the season of celebrations, and embellished blouses are perfect for adding a festive touch to your wardrobe.

These blouses are also great for layering under blazers or cardigans, allowing you to stay warm without sacrificing style.

5. Flannel and Checks for Casual Cool

Flannel blouses in classic checks or tartan patterns are a winter staple. These blouses are perfect for a laid-back yet chic vibe. Layer a flannel blouse over a turtleneck and finish the look with straight-leg jeans and combat boots. For added warmth, accessorize with a wool scarf and a beanie. This style is ideal for coffee dates, weekend outings, or cozy nights by the fireplace.

6. Sheer Sleeves with a Twist

If you’re looking for a blouse that balances warmth with elegance, opt for one with sheer or mesh sleeves. These styles add a delicate touch while keeping the body lined for insulation. Choose a blouse with embroidery or lace details to elevate the look. Pair it with a midi skirt and heeled boots for a chic winter ensemble.

Styling Tips for Winter Blouses

Layer strategically: Pair blouses with thermal undergarments or turtlenecks for added warmth without bulk.

Choose rich fabrics: Velvet, wool, and heavy silks work best for winter while offering a luxe appearance.

Accessorize wisely: Scarves, statement earrings, and belts can enhance your winter blouse outfits.

Experiment with textures: Mix soft fabrics like knit with structured materials like leather for a balanced look.

Avery is a 70s girlie. She loves pantsuits, midi and pleated skirts, sweater, knit, and wrap dresses, graphic tees and halter tops, knit ponchos, fabric and suede trench coats, neck scarfs, wedge heels, vintage dancing shoes, clogs, and bell bottom jeans. Her go-to 'fits when she wants to mix modern with 70s inspo include colorful flared pants, peasant-style crops with big puff sleeves, headbands with a trailing piece of fabric, chunky earrings, big sunglasses, platform shoes, bangle bracelets, and a mood ring. Most of all, she’s a sucker for jumpsuits especially the disco-themed ones.

When she was 14, her mom made her a sequined jumpsuit with a velvety sash for a project that focused on the different eras and the teacher was hosting a contest for all the students that had costume based on the era and its authenticity. Avery won since the teacher was impressed by the genuine look to it compared to a cheaply made store costume and also got best grade with her partner on the project out of the class. She also wore it as her Halloween costume that year and had the time of her life when they played Shake Your Groove Thing.

However, she not only likes the fashion trends from then but also has a thing for the songs no matter how much disco music is frowned upon. She made an entire playlist dedicated to it and her personal favorite is Boogie Wonderland. Sometimes, she's just feeling in a groove and puts on a jumpsuit (favoring the evening kind) and then blasts the playlist, jumping on her bed and dancing in the middle the room as she's singing out the lyrics to every song that she's listened to a thousand times before with a bona fide disco ball spinning from the ceiling. There may have been a few instances when Jameson has passed her room through the fireplace passageway and heard her during these disco seshes but he never disturbs her and just smiles as he slinks through the shadows, knowing he'll never tell a soul about her dance breaks. Not even Max knows, although, they would probably have the best girl nights ever if she did.

holy shit dude i’m so sorry for just now saying this. today was EXHAUSTING. but anyway: HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO MICKEYYYYY!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ i’m currently reading your fic, that’s what reminded me to send this lmao.

on this lovely birthday of mickey’s, could you perhaps tell me about his hobbies/interests?? like what does he do in his free time.

ALSOOOOOO please tell me any cool gifts he’s received over the years, from his mother, edward, others, whoever! his most cherished gifts 🎁

NO WORRIES!!! YESSS THE HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO MY FAVORITE SHITHEAD MICKEY MIRANDA!!!! AAAAHHH I'M ANSWERING THIS WITH ONLY 2 MINUTES LEFT OF HIS BIRTHDAY (and it'll probably be after midnight by the time i get all my thoughts out LOL) YAAAY I hope you like it!!! 💕💕

Mickey's hobbies/interests include (in no particular order):

Gambling (from card-playing to the nastier stuff like betting on boxing matches and illegal animal fights)

Theater (he attends the opera often because he likes how being in a box with other wealthy/"important" people makes him feel, but he enjoys plays and smaller-time libretto works more. He is SUCH a theater snob and has Opinions™ on everything he sees)

Whoring (either himself or paying for company (lol that's cute. no, Edward always pays))

He has a low-key interest in fashion and always tries to stay on top of the latest trends

Cartography was a necessary hobby for him to pick up, and it helped he was always good with geography

History! He loves learning about history in general, but also the history of weaponry and warfare. The Ancient Roman Empire is his favorite

Related to above, but he's also fascinated with ancient pantheons

But even more than those, Mickey loves languages! both ancient and modern. He's fluent in Spanish (his first language), English, Latin, French, and some scattered Italian and ancient Greek. Ever since he was a schoolboy, he tried to learn as much as he could. Even though he rarely has time for learning any new ones, he owns a lot of books on languages!

Gifts he's received are a complicated matter for him. While he still has the recipe box and scarf his mother gave him, they weren't birthday gifts and he doesn't have anything she ever gave him for his birthdays. Most of his belongings he carried on into adulthood were practical objects and birthday gifts were pieces of his childhood that he mostly left behind in South America.

Though, he loves getting birthday gifts. Here's a few that stand out for him:

A gold pocket watch Edward got him for his 27th birthday. It was very expensive and it looks it, all shiny with an engraving inside that reads, "To my dearest friend Mickey, Happy Birthday". Mickey always wears this watch, though not because Edward gave it to him, but because of how admired it is among their peers. Mickey himself could not purchase a nicer watch and thus treasures it

Several of his neckties were gifts, two of which were from Augusta

An enormous painting from the embassy that Mickey keeps over the fireplace in his office

KNICKKNACKS!! Mickey loves knickknacks, from statues to decorative antlers. Just STUFF he can put on surfaces to show off he isn't the miserable little boy who has little to nothing left from his childhood. Friends of his know he always appreciates a new object to add to his collection

Books are also always a well-received gift Mickey is happy to get on his birthday

Tickets to some show or event. Edward's taken Mickey to the opera for his birthday more than once

Chocolates (because of course he loves chocolate~)

Boost Your Home Value with Interior Painting

Internal Painting is one of the most efficient and economical techniques for home enhancement that raise the home value. If you want to sell your home or redecorate it, interior painting is crucial to the house's overall look and exponential sale values.

When it comes to interior painting, Envision Painting knows the potential of colour and the skills needed for residential painting. The following is an examination of how a fundamental change, painting your home, can totally change its outward appearance and even increase its worth.

First Impressions Matter

When potential buyers walk into a home, the first impression can make or break their perception. Clean, fresh, and well-maintained spaces immediately give off a positive vibe. An Interior Painting service can transform tired rooms into new and inviting spaces. Neutral tones like whites, beiges, or light grays are particularly popular and create a blank canvas that allows buyers to envision their own style.

Hide, Wear and Tear

Over time, walls inevitably accumulate stains, scuff marks, and signs of general wear. These imperfections can create an impression of neglect, which may lead buyers to question how well the home has been cared for. Interior Painting is a straightforward solution to restore the appearance of your walls and hide imperfections, giving the impression of a well-maintained home.

Reflect Your Home's Best Features

With the help of professional interior painters, the right colour palette can highlight your home's best features. For example, darker shades can make large rooms feel cozier, while lighter tones can brighten smaller or darker spaces. Also, accent walls can make architectural features like built-in shelves, fireplaces, or crown moulding stand out, which will be beneficial when selling a house.

Appeal to Modern Tastes

Interior painting can help align your home with modern trends. A new coat of paint in the right colours or finishes can give your home a contemporary feel without the expense of a significant renovation. Modern buyers often look for homes that feel fresh and move-in ready, and a simple painting update can be the key to achieving this.

Cost-Effective Renovation

When it comes to home improvement projects, interior painting ranks among some of the most affordable. It has a very high rate of return on investment (ROI) and usually finishes comparably fast with very low interference. Whether you hire interior painters or do the work independently, the cost is not too high, and the advantage adds significantly to your home value.

Conclusion:

Whether you plan on selling your home or want to renovate its look, Interior Painting is a cost-effective solution. People always like clean and new interiors, and a new and different paint colour on walls can give this effect. There is no better way to enhance your home's best features than using the appropriate colours and finishes that will help set the right mood for prospective buyers. Apart from this, a fresh paint colour makes your house beautiful, proving that it has been cared for, a factor many home seekers consider. It can make your house visually distinctive and even raise the price tag. Therefore, consulting an expert who can offer interior painting services would be wise.

Lovely 1885 Queen Anne Victorian in the beautiful town of Mt. Holly, NJ. 7bds, 3ba, $690K.

This home is so authentic- it really looks like a Victorian may have looked, back in the day.

Original millwork.

The only thing that ruins it, is, you guessed it, the ever-present gray paint of homes for sale, no matter what the era.

Will this trend ever die, already?

I hate this, they even did the ceiling.

Beautiful rich wood fireplace and shelving.

Pocket doors do not look good with modern gray walls.

Beautiful pedestal sink and stained glass window in the powder room, plus the height of modern decor, a contrasting griege upper wall.

Lovely fireplace and alcove. I actually prefer a creamy off-white to dreary gray- it looks like constant rainy days.

Great original pantry with a door to the porch.

The kitchen was completely renovated. I don't mind white cabinets in classic Shaker style, and I love the chandeliers. The counters are okay, but I would've liked a more vintage-look backsplash.

Stairs and landing to the 2nd level.

Beautifully curved walls. Love the stripes and wallpaper border.

Oh, good night. The primary bedroom is gray.

I love that little ceiling fixture. It's so cute.

Small sunporch.

Renovated shower room.

Currently, a children's play room, but it could be anything.

Stairs to the upper most level.

Another bedroom up here.

And a new bath with a jetted tub.

The porch is so pretty.

And, it's a wraparound lemonade porch.

10,677 sq ft lot makes a large yard, plus the house has a pretty big back porch.
