There are lots of ways you can configure your house - you could have two bedrooms in your house, or one bedroom and a nursery, or a bedroom and bathroom - the choice is yours!

However when I built my house I left out the dividing wall from the ground floor in order to create an open plan living/dining area. There are normally four rooms in the Ikea Flisat house. It's also good to know that Maileg furniture is very robust and safety tested for children age 3 and over. Much of the 'micro' size furniture will also fit, with some exceptions. However, as a rule of thumb, if the Maileg furniture is categorised as 'My' size it will be suitable for your Ikea house. In order to make it less fiddly for little hands to play with, Maileg furniture tends to be larger than the 1:12 scale furniture designed for adult collectors' dolls houses. But have no fear!

I then hung a set of small battery powered pinecone lights (also from the dollar store) from the ceiling which brightens up the house even when it isn’t in use. Georgia was involved in every step, this is a great together craft idea, just be careful of the hot glue gun. Once everything was dry I used scrapbooking Christmas paper which I found at the dollar store to make a rug and tree skirt. ![]() Just went with whatever designs I wanted, doodling each side as if it was icing. Don’t stress too much about this part, it doesn’t need to be perfect or symmetrical or super neat, once it’s all done the whole will look amazing trust me! Once that dried I got to work with an oil based paint pen (I used AROIC paint pen) and did all the “icing” on the house. It was red, which didn’t match my decor and this way, I would upcycle it for my kids to play with and we’d all enjoy it so much more.įirst, I spray painted it with a Tremcad Brown paint in Red Oxide.
