this house is in great shape thers carpet in the house very great shape name katrina email me
Is it my imagination, or does this dollhouse look like it’s a foreclosure that’s been tagged by gangs — albeit, gangs of three-year-olds with crayons, but still?
I half-expect to see that the copper wiring has been pulled out of the walls. Speaking of which, aren’t dollhouses usually only missing the back wall? This one seems to be standing up on the strength of the crayon wax alone.
I’m reasonably certain that it’s infested with dollhouse-sized roaches and rats. (You can get those at the better dollhouse supply stores.)
I’m guessing that this person’s definition of “very great shape” and mine have a few fundamentally irreconcilable differences. There’s certainly a difference in our definition of carpet, anyway.

Wait!! You missed the most important piece of information! Notice that the poster posted this important tidbit…. “name katrina”. As in the hurricane? Wouldn’t that explain it?
I didn’t miss it. I just couldn’t figure out how to make it a joke that I was comfortable with, since people affected by Katrina still haven’t seen things return to normal.
Maybe I was just being oversensitive, but that’s why I didn’t reference it.
Judybat, no worries … like I said, it’s probably just me being oversensitive. I do that sometimes. I overthink things for a living, so it bleeds into my hobbies as well.
Just the thing for Ghetto Barbie! The rubber-room carpeting is especially nice, it’s a shame they ran out before they could do the walls as well.
It’s a pity, this was once a nice dollhouse before Jackson Pollack,Jr got a hold of it.
It was the first thing that came to mind after viewing this! I wondered if this dollhouse belonged the the artist who “decorated” that house for sale.
Experts agree that crayons (in shades of indifference) and markers are the gateway mediums to spray paint.
It is obvious what happened here. Barbie, one of the most successful model-dolls of all time, realized all of her dreams and bought a huge house to live in, in style. Then she met Ken. Ken wasn’t quite as successful, or as classy, see. But he did ONE thing very well, nudge nudge wink wink.
Long story short, five kids later and the house looks like this. Ken says he is going to go out and get a vacuum “very soon” for the carpet. Barbie used to care about the kids writing on the walls, but now she just tells her few remaining friends that she considers all of her kids to be “artists” and that she doesn’t want to stunt their artistic talent. She plans to talk to them about knocking down that side wall of the house as soon as this episode of “Dr. Phil” is over.
Everyone is sad for Barbie, except for the tabloids, who are selling multi-million issues every time Barbie shows up on the cover!
This person makes the typical amateur mistakes when selling their home without a REALTOR® :
Curb appeal! (your landscaping reminds me of a ragged old sofa arm)
Freshen up! (a little paint or wallpaper works wonders)
Elbow grease! (you can never run the vacuum too many times!)
Show your best face! (Never take photos while drunk, or caffeine-shaky)
Take care with your description! (Mentioning both “house” and “Katrina” in an ad brings to mind formaldehyde-laced trailers)
Why are none of you getting the name right? It’s “Katrina Email Me.” Of the South Hampton Email Mes. Very posh, very wealthy. Surely you’ve heard of her.
This post makes me wonder if there’s a dollhouse version of It’s Lovely, I’ll Take It! (or Lovely Listing, as it seems to be called now) out there somewhere…
The blurry quality of the photos make me wonder if a tiny little Michael Myers got to all the little Barbie dolls living there. Do Barbie’s bleed crayon wax?
I submitted this. When I wrote to the seller to ask her if it was missing a wall (which it clearly is, the left wall in the pics of the back of the house), I got this reply:
“n0 its not miszin Nething!”
The seller emailed me back two more times, offering to drop the price (to $25) and even telling me she would “paint it reall nice.” I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry, so I just ate a donut.
I’d like to say at this time that I have never belonged to an “HOA”.
I have also never belonged to a “HO”.
Additionally, I have never belonged to an “H”.
I have, however belonged to a ” “.
$50 for any size house is a bargain! Just not sure all the bird cages will fit in there. Anyone have a miniature tape measure? Or an electromagnetic shrink ray?
That house is in even worse shape than the one I picked up for $2 this morning, and it doesn’t even come with furnishings. Do they make a Barbie sized meth lab residue test kit? It might be advised for the would-be handyman who optimistically invests in it.
