I managed to pick up a few barbies for the girls at a Mattel factory recently and had decided to get rid of the barbie fold out house they got last year (or atleast relinquish it to the toy room) as DD2 had decided that the shower and toilet actually needed to have water in them and has ruined the cardboard backing on the house.
All the walls now push out and don't sit in correctly.

While my girls LOVE barbie and i am happy to get them barbies i am not happy to pay a small fortune for a plastic house that comes apart, breaks or the cardboard bends out of shape.

So we were thinking that maybe santa could get the girls a BIG barbie house (to share), having a look around they can cost anything form $150 right through to $300

SOOOO i thought i would ask my uncle who has made this gorgeous dolls house (att pic) how much it would cost to custom make a dolls house for the girls, one big enough to fit barbie and some of her furniture (quite large) and also tack on a garage for her car

I am waiting for a price back, i know it could easily cost me a couple of hundred and that is without furniture, but he does an amazig job (he has my pops talent) and it's something we could keep and pass through the family OR sell for possibly better value?

What would you do?
