site we’re psyched about: the renovation of “barbie’s haunted mansion”
Way back when, we linked to It’s Lovely! I’ll Take It!, a site that can now be found at LovelyListing.com. We’re happy to say that Lovely Listing’s takedowns of ridiculous real estate listings are as hilarious as ever, but a recent post about a house referred to as “Barbie’s Haunted Mansion” got our attention for a different reason. The new owners of the house have put up their own website, 1127 Bridge Avenue, to document their renovation of the very Victorian, very pink, rather neglected mansion. We love before and after stories, so we can’t wait to follow along!
Apparently Barbie never went into the kitchen. It’s the only non-pepto room in the house!
Growing up, I wasn’t a huge Barbie fan. Had she had a haunted mansion, however, it would be a completely different story.

ha, i thought i recognized this house… it’s right across the river in an old part of davenport, iowa. there are a lot of these queen anne style homes around here, and if you get past all the pink, this is a pretty awesome fixer upper. the wood trim isn’t painted over, and once they tear up those nasty carpets i bet they find some decent hardwood floors. do a google search for queen anne homes and you’ll find quite a few crazy and crazily intricate paintjobs to go with the bonkers details on these things.
