A kitchen makeover

So the kitchen in my dollhouse was based on the first our generation kitchen I had. I'm in process of makeover (long and drawn out version), and ond of the rooms is getting a new kitchen based on the red version of the Our Generation kitchen. 

If you get the pieces in the right light they have a bit of glitter in them, fortunately it is in the plastic not on it so it doesn't go everywhere. 

Sparkley

So with a little fairy dust

 And a tube of red paint our kitchen island is being painted to match

Hmm I might just have to promise you, it is sparkly too. And now there little bits of glitter everywhere.

Our Generation Retro, Rose's outfit

I have purchased a number of Our Generation items, but am yet to buy one of their dolls. I do not find the doll very appealing, but do kind of like some of the on doll outfits.

This was one such outfit I liked, 

Found the outfit on Ebay, and Emily did the honours. (AG#21)

The outfit includes, a dress, a belt, scarf, cardigan, shoes and a hair bow

the hair bow has a bobby pin attached, perfect for the magnetic mouth of Coconut

I like the idea of an outfit having several pieces so it can be arranged in a variety of ways.

red netting under the skirt to give it some body

Hello Kitty called, she wants her shoes back

The red one arrived at my place recently, it had been available in Kmart for a little while, I noticed it June 15th  (Australian Kmarts are stocking OG stuff, well lets say some OG stuff, they might be testing the market here as 18" dolls are few and far between, from my experience anyway. Target did try about 10+ years ago with Battat products (I got me one outfit, actually I think Maddie is wearing it) but it didn't last long. Toys'r'us have the Journey Girls though, which I'll say I noticed around 2011-ish. Barbie was huge, then came Bratz, (and My Scene), and Monsters and Fairy tale characters, and the last 15 years has just flashed before my eyes, and my interest shifted, bye bye Barbie etc, hello American Girl (Maddie is BFC ink and TRU did try them in 2011))

Anyway where was I?

Catherine Catherine I think I'm having eye troubles I keep seeing double. Just now I saw two kitchens

Well there are two kitchens, ones pink and ones red

Oh

Why have you got two kitchens?

Because the one we have is pink

and I wanted a colour change, and maybe I need two kitchens, we do have alot of family members

Oh, okay, oooh I do like the red, I think I like the counter being white rather than pink.

Hmm, yes I agree

So are you gonna open it? Those muffins shouldn't be left out like that

a free CD rack with every kitchen (it is the support inside the bottom of the box to make it higher than what it is

sparkley

the inside insert has the kitchen strapped in

heavy duty straps

its a clock

with a secret hiding spot

for Panda bears

there is some pink in this set, but it is alot softer than the previous

a mystery slim cupboard

oven

old baking utensils

new, just in time for Grace Thomas

New colours on the left, old colours on the right

Noooo!  there is no cactus with the new set

but they still have these confusing ice cream cone with a handle cups

way too small for American girls

Maybe okay for BFC ink

Maplelea Leonie can almost pose with it but the drink wouldn't last long as it kept tipping forward (away from dolly so she wouldn't scald herself with hot fluid)

the splash back behind the stove is in red white mauve purple and black

the fridge is white on the inside with pale pink trim on the shelves and drawers

the cold water/ice dispenser is in black and fits the accompanying glass

much the same just in a different colour

the old fridge doors I found were difficult to open/close, the new one is alot smoother

some weird eggs

mmmm cupcakes and muffins and a Sundae kit
