Hi Everyone! This home caught my eye as I was flipping through Departures Magazine this month. A home whose interior is designed by Jonathan Adler, for Barbie! This dream home is overlooking the Pacific. He took this 3500 square foot private Malibu home and transformed it into a Celebration for Barbie's 50th anniversary. He not only designed some one-of-a-kind pieces but took furniture from his own collection. This home is for us all who are young at heart...Pink loving girls...who LOVE Barbie.

Andy Warhol's Barbie portrait hangs in the living room. Look at the one-of-a-kind corset-back chairs. So adorable!!!

Close-up of the corset chairs!

In June Johnathan Alder debuts Mattels "Generation of Dreams" Barbie doll in fabric like these chairs. So sweet!

Barbie chandelier made from 30 Blonde Barbie wigs. (This kind of creeped me out) A little creepy but Soooooo creative!

Hot pink splashed sitting room. Notice Barbie's favourite dog, a poodle, in porcelain hot pink!

I Love this!!! When I first saw this sunburst mirror I thought of Vicki (from French Essence) on the hunt for a gilded gold mirror in France. How would this one work for you Vicki? hehe

Johnathan Adler's rendering of Barbie's Bedroom. So fun!


The finished bedroom.

For all you shoe girls...this one is for you!!! Barbie Pantone 219 pink stilettos designed by no other than Christian Louboutin. These lovelies will be available in July...price upon request.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this little VW bug...customized for Barbie and I assume in Patone 219 pink.

A little vanity is in the truck for Barbie to pretty herself up and no doubt to apply a bit of lipstick before heading to the mall.

What a lovely home for any Barbie lover! I have read that Johnathan ripped off the head of his sister's Barbie dolls when he was six and this project took on a deep personal meaning. "It was my way of making amends, " he says.

Don't you just LOVE this Dreamy home?

Have a Pretty Pink Day!!!

Happy 50th!

Happy Birthday Barbie! The mademoiselle of all dolls. Thank you for all those wonderful years of playful imagination. Especially big thanks to your wonderful home that allowed me to be creative and sorta was the start of me painting on walls. That is... your Barbie home walls. May you have a relaxing day out and about.


And an evening out on the town, all dressed up.

To take a peak at the 50th anniversary Barbie, here is the link. She is Très Magnifique!
