Customizing: Barbie sofa

[dieastra]

I've started to upgrade my Barbie sofa with fabric tape. Best stuff ever invented! I got the sofa used, and the pink has lost its color. Which is especially a problem if you change it into a bed. I also don't like the cushions that come with it, they look cheap and when someone is sitting, they slide down all the time. I intend to do new cushions

The bed conversion works really well with that pattern, and I like the new colour for the arms. Mind you, I hate Barbie pink!

When I bought it, the parts that could be seen looked more like brown. Only when taking the bedding away I realized that it was actually pink that had faded in the sun. I haven't taken many pictures with it for that reason and thought about re-selling even, until I got the idea with the tape. When I am finished there won't be any pink seen anymore! I also absolutely hate that everything needs to be pink.

I can also turn the pillows and blanket, on the other side it is white with silver sparkly dots. I agree, the colorful pattern works for a bed, but not for a couch in a living room. My figures are more classic than that ;)

No, for a couch you need something more subdued. Though Captain Jack would appreciate sparkly dots!

How's Cpt. John on sparkly dots?

I don't know and sadly he doesn't exist in this scale :( So we can't ask him unfortunately.
