- I want to live where my dolls live!! It's so beautiful (plus their pets don't leave hair all over the furniture and they've yet to get any bills in the mail lol). Creating these lovely spaces brings me so much joy and I am thrilled to get to share them with you!
Here's the link to the last tour I did, in case you missed it: • All FIVE of My America...
Here's the link to the Christmas Tree Farm tutorial mentioned in the video: • I Made THIS from Upcyc...

And finally, I'm sharing an affiliate link for the LED lights I now use in ALL of my dollhouses because a LOOOOOOOOVE them and when I gush about them, someone always asks where I got them. amzn.to/3ww20cp
Thanks for spending some time with me and my dolls. Your support and kindness means a ton.

If you don't have a printer, you could use photos from calendars as window scenery
Someone else suggested this today and I don't know why it didn't occur to me sooner - I'll definitely be doing this!!
I enjoyed this video so much! The amount of rooms you have, and the amount of DETAIL in each of them is so fun to see. This is so inspirational as I'm trying to figure out the best way to decorate six rooms. I especially love how you decorate for each season. Another amazing video! ♥♥
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoy it. I look forward to getting to see your six rooms when you get to that point. And I thoroughly enjoyed watching your 109 try on all her wig options today ;-)
My favorite part is seeing what you do with the outside area. I love the creativity and attention to detail! I'm so excited to see what you do in the spring.
Aw, thanks. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And glad you were able to join for the premiere.
I have 3 of those attic dollhouses, My Girl's Dollhouse. In one I've divided the room into 2 rooms (using Postal boxes [the tallest one works best, and they're free] and wrapping paper or contact paper with the backing left of and taped to the Postal box) I use it for two bedrooms ,each with large Farmhouse Beds.Another one the roof is off and I use it as my doll's livingroom. And the 3rd one, the roof is also off(when I moved the movers misunderstood me,and threw it away. In their defense, I did say "That goes,too".) And this attic is my Mini Me and spouse's bedroom. We have a large Farmhouse bed, 2 Bamboo dressers, Bamboo Wardrobe (bath mat rugs are perfect for these rooms, they fit perfectly).
Thanks for sharing how you approach those attic spaces. And for reminding me to be careful with my wording with movers! I can totally see how "that goes" is ambiguous.
I love your stories behind every room! Especially the college apartment! 😂🤣
I'm so glad! I may not create elaborate personalities for each doll, but I do like to imagine detailed scenes playing out among them.
There's that carpet in the kitchen just like my goofy mom. :) There were so many fun things to see in this video. I think the baby on the potty was my favorite part. So real. You want to get the baby to the baby sitter so you can get to the party, and that's exactly when they need to go. :) Thanks for taking the time to film and share all of this!
Ah, I'm always going to think of your mom's completely impractical kitchen carpet now lol. And YES - last minute potty trips are so relatable! I'm glad you enjoyed the tour :-)
@@agtakesover I'll have to find a picture of my mom's carpet and send it to you on IG. :) You'll crack up.
please do lol!@@bethbacarella
@@agtakesover Just did! :)
TOTALLY ENJOYED this dollhouse tour.
I'm so glad :-)
You can never have too many kitchens your dolls I love it
It's so funny - on the first floor of our house is the actual kitchen, my daughter's (kid-sized) play kitchen, and the kitchen in her dollhouse. So phrases like "put this in the fridge" or "it's in the kitchen" can get confusing.
I love your doll house tours. Your creativity always gets me thinking and inspired.
Aw, thanks so much! I love doing them. Could it be a side job to go around helping ppl build and furnish their dream dollhouses???
Maryellen's dress matches the Seaside Diner, there's what looks like an apron on one of the stools and the dress matches it perfectly
Yep - that apron on the stool comes with the diner. We actually have 3 or 4 of them even though the set only comes with one (or two?). We could have a full staff if the diner experienced a rush lol
I just adore your setup. It's so expansive and gives you so much room for creativity! Always so impressive. Love all the amazing details in each space. Thank you for sharing with us!
Thanks!! You know I love sharing it with others. BTW the other day I decided we need to have a dolly slumber party. You in?
@@agtakesover Uh, heck yeah I'm in!
Hi Kristie. I love the little meditation/yoga studio! The gingerbread set is cute. Our Generation has great accessories. Loved the little stories you threw in. 😊👍
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I found some other decorations for the meditation room just the other day (when we were supposedly Christmas shopping but I somehow ended up getting a few gifts for the dolls lol).
Your dollhouse is seriously so cute!! I love the winter/ Christmassy theme!
Thank you!! 😊 I adore setting them up!
Well you explaned everything pretty well, so I can get ideas on how to build a room! Good video. This AG doll collecting can be addicting.
Glad it was helpful! I think I saw you'd asked about dimensions and everything in a comment on another of the dollhouse tours. If you watched them all, you should end up with a pretty good sense of how I approached all our dollhouses (the "My THREE Doll Houses" video goes more in depth about the measurements for the one I built).
I am commenting as I watch the video....here goes: I have the recording studio still new in the box in my attic and now I want to dig it out. Oh the market, I have that still in the box too and want to get it out too. I LOVE the airstream too. It is so authentic! The windows are great and I love adding them to my rooms too. My fire doesn't light up :( ...ugh I don't know what happened. I like the still pictures added to the video. The shower cap LOL. The tree farm scene is so cute! The kiddo on the toilet cracked me up. I have the same "My first Christmas" bodysuit. I absolutely enjoyed this and house tours are my favorite videos to watch, perhaps that is why I gravitate to making them. I working on my Christmas set up and will be posting soon.
I would love to see your whole doll space(s) because sometimes I wonder if there's a big ticket item you *don't* have lol. The silk bonnet is from Bev's Bedtime Bonnets on Etsy. She primarily makes them for adults and children but custom made some doll ones for me. They're reversible and so cute. I'm looking forward to your Christmas set-up. I always love seeing your dollhouse spaces!!
Yes please show detailed video in the Airstream!
I'll add it to my idea notebook :-)
I’d love to see MEs airstream review. I collected when it was out, but it’s not my thing. I know I’ve watched reviews, but not in a long time. Besides, I like your reviews the best!
I'm adding it to my idea book. Lately our night routine has been to get the little one to bed and then Grace goes down to sew while I work on videos. Then we meet in the middle (on the first floor) and watch a Christmas movie before bed. As a result, I'm getting a lot of videos filmed and edited and just keep getting more and more excited about all the videos to come.
The tree farm with hot cocoa stand looks amazing! I’m still in awe how you transformed the stable and diner into one piece. It works so well.
I really like how I’m not the only one to repurpose greeting cards into doll posters! 😊
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed it (and that you also give new life to greeting cards with your dolls.
What a fun happy video! Your attention to detail is amazing! Thank you! 😊
You are so welcome! It is a joy to create these spaces and a joy to share them with others.
That was so awesome! Thoroughly enjoyed this video. As usual I am amazed at your attention to detail. Where did you get the colorful mat the baby is sitting on in the nursery? I especially loved the dolls doing yoga!❤
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't know if we got it from Etsy or Amazon, but this seems to be the right size: www.amazon.com/Vaguelly-Household-Decoraciones-Miniature-Ornaments/dp/B0CPB2MJH9/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2JQMETS4CY9UW&keywords=miniature+foam+alphabet+mat&qid=1702267385&sprefix=miniature+foam+alphabet+mat%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-5
aww! happy birthday to your little one! 4 is a good age! my friends' kiddo is 4 and is OBSESSED with american girl at the moment
Thanks! She had a princess party. After Harry Potter for her first, Bluey for her second, and Monsters, Inc. for her third, I was least excited about a princess party lol. But it was what she definitely wanted so we did it right and enjoyed it thoroughly!
@@agtakesover awww! that's awesome!
i'm so glad she had a good time :D
Wonderful "PRIDE IN YOURSELF" saying😭💖 .Yes i wept as well hearing it😢,Thankyou
I'm so glad it spoke to you!!
@@agtakesoverIndeed💗
An AG collectors dream come true.
It really IS. Looking at these spaces never fails to make me smile :-)
I'm getting Nicki and Isabel for Christmas and their coming just in time for Christmas. I can't wait and it's the first time I knew about getting dolls for Christmas
NICE! I don't love Isabel's electric green eyes but this fall I learned that if I put her in a muted/"army" green shirt, it mutes the impact of her eyes. So suddenly I like her much more.
Your doll houses and scenes look beautiful! You have such great attention to detail. I'm kind of curious why you don't have Courtney, since you said you have so much of her collection, and I remember in another video you mentioned that having dolls with STEM stories for when your kid gets older is important to you and your wife. I'd love to see a more detailed airstream tour or a review of Rebecca's collection, if you ever feel up to it.
Also, I can't remember if you said it in this video or the previous one, but about those attic rooms -- I don't actually have a dollhouse like that, however I really like the idea of turning them into bedrooms. I've personally had two attic bedrooms in my life (one as a teenager and one as an adult) and I really like attic spaces for that. Since their primary purpose is to sleep, you need less tall furniture and don't have to rely as much on dolls standing all the way up. When I was a kid, I had a huge Victorian PlayMobile dollhouse, and that's what I used to do with the attic room in that, too (though obviously a very different scale). It could also work as a nursery. I also think it could be pretty cute as an attic/playspace for kids -- some storage, but also old suitcases and things for kids to play dress up with.
By the way, thanks for including all of the little pride details in your dollhouses. As a queer trans man who grew up playing with AG dolls when I was a kid, it really warms my heart. And probably for every person who posts a comment like this, there are most likely a multitude more who are also really appreciative, but don't comment. Thanks so much for sharing your love of AG, especially as an openly out LGBTQUIA+ person.
I'll try to go point by point:
1) We don't have Courtney because our collection neither of us are really drawn to her. Nothing deep - she just kind of feels meh. But I like her books and collection a lot.
2) We have the Mars habitat and an in-box Luciana and most of Luciana's collection. As our little one gets a bit older , we'll pick a time to give her that STEM collection, but for now it's all tucked away.
3) I have already filmed and edited a Rebecca Collection Close-up, so it's just a matter of when I post it. Next couple of months anyway.
4) I like all the ideas for the attic room. I've come to like it as a space for the teens to come work on projects and lounge, but if I want to change it up in the future, I'll keep these ideas in mind.
5) You are welcome. My older daughter (22yrs) and I were talking last night about the channel and channel growth and content creator authenticity and all of that. We talked about how Silence is Violence doesn't automatically feel like it could apply to a doll collecting channel, but that addressing issues of human rights and actively trying to make your channel welcoming and safe does matter and make a difference. For me, that's far more important than subscriber numbers and I love the sense of community that we're creating. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!
@@agtakesover That makes sense about Courtney. I like her a lot, but I'll admit, I wish AG as a company would work harder towards being more inclusive of diversity. One of the things that I find fairly obnoxious about AG as a brand is just disproportionately *how many* of the AG dolls are white, and usually also blonde.
It's so cool that you have all the Luciana things for your kid!
Oh, neat, I'm really looking forward to seeing the Rebecca video. She has such a beautiful collection. Admittedly, I'm super biased -- when I was a kid, my favorite doll and character was Samantha, and I feel like Samantha and Rebecca have really similar collections in some ways. Which, tbh, makes sense, since their main stories are only set 10 years apart, and both in New York.
The attic definitely does look great as it is, and it's nice to have part of the dollhouse set up as a teen hangout/community space.
Yeah, that makes sense, And it really does make a huge difference. There are a couple of other out agtube people whose videos I watch, but other than that, I'm never sure where people stand. It can make watching complicated. But these dolls were a huge part of my childhood, and I know there are so many other queer people who were or are into AG, and representation means the world.
I loved everything, great decorating. Enjoy what you love!
Thank you so much!! I certainly DO enjoy it!
The roommates is a friends and big bang theory type of storyline
Totally lol!
Totally amazing! And I'm totally jealous. ❤
Aww, shucks! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
everything looks amazing. i like the pink tree and congrats on the new finds. The tree farm looks great in the space. Cant wait to see how you use it next.. We only have two AG solon chairs and two salon caddies not a space. Your story narration makes the tour so much fun. love the carts from Target I grab them whenever I see them. That was a great sentiment in the card. nice use of the yellow bunk bed. We don't have a lot of space for bag ticket items. We are getting rid of the Our Generation ice cream truck and food truck as my grand daughters want Claudie bakery. I would love to see the Rebecca collection . I want her record player. Your daughter is going to love the decorations when she sees it. Thanks for the tour it made me stop and smile .
I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour and I really appreciate your detailed comment. You're one of the first ppl I'm sharing this with, but we recently bough Claudie's bakery. 'Haven't even opened it yet. But knowing that we're losing our local store...plus we got 20% off and NO "oversize shipping surcharge"...meant it was time to bite the bullet and get it. I can't wait to open it!
Congratulations I cant wait for the video when you open it. It will look great downstairs like you have a small town shop district (Hallmark Movie vibe) with all your other pieces . Every time we go to the New York store that is where the girls go to play with the Claudie display. I am mad at myself it was on sale earlier this year but I got Melody's piano instead as i was afraid it would sell out. After Christmas i will start to seriously work on getting the bakery also with pick up in store to avoid the surcharge. @@agtakesover
@@nailahvenable7989 It would look great downstairs, but I suspect at least for the first several months we'll keep it upstairs in my office because my daughter LOVES that bakery and I want her to be able to play with it 🙂
understand that!!! Thanks for sharing with us i wish you Grace and the girls the best of the season. @@agtakesover
LOVING your house videos so creative! The white piece you created is great, it also reminded me of a stall in the midway at a fair (4th of July?)
I can see that use for the stable/diner thing. And I'm glad you're enjoying the dollhouse tour videos. I just finished editing an updated one. It'll air sometime in April :-)
Hi Kristie! Thank you for opening the door to your enchanting world of American Girl! You can see your joy in all the details! Happy Holidays!😊
Thanks so much. I'm glad my joy comes through. We all know negativity can be contagious so I always hope joy is, too.
I want the airplane set so bad And I'm calling it wild Blue airlines because Hunter Hayes is my favorite singer
It's not my favorite of our sets and I don't know that I would have picked it (Grace was the one who wanted it) but it's cool. I think one day I'll turn the "room of requirement" into an airport security check :-)
Another great video!!! ❤😊
Glad you liked it!! And glad you could join during the premiere.
@@agtakesover I actually came in on the last half of it but next time I'm hoping to catch from the beginning!! I put my notifications on but life comes up, and it's so nice to catch with you live... I find it so interesting when you talk about the anti LGBT issues that come up every june when u were reading the pride poster... sorry u have to deal with seeing that people are caca...
I rewatched the video and I saw that ice cold six pack of bud light!!! Lol love u
The dolls in Downdog 😂😂😂😂
They could do a lot more if I busted out some fishing line but down dog is good for now. Yoga 101!
Logan was on sale on Black Friday ? I didn't see him. Is he still available ? I bought TM #75 that I had been looking for but missed Logan. I need him and #76 to complete my AG boy doll collection. I am purchasing items today with the 4x rewards and would buy Logan instead of TM #112.
I listened to it again and didn't catch that you actually meant TM #75 was on sale BF. I did get him thanks to an AG collector mentioning he was on sale on a FB doll group. I hadn't seen that. So glad that I didn't miss out buying him.
Yep, 75 is who I meant. I'm glad you were able to get him!
When did the AG city market release? Pleasant company era?
It released and retired in 2020.
Can you put a link to the lights please?

Hello,I recently found you yet I truely enjoy your channel.All I've seen so far is sooòo interesting. Plz tell me where I can get /find a affordable 18" AG doll house,like 5/ 6 room prpreferably w/ a terrace.I can't find ¹ affordable for my pocket.Also how to make the foam room's too plz‼️🥰 Thankyou for making such Great/ Interesting AG room's 🤗💕 Lisa Luft in Catawissa, Pennsylvania 😊
I'm so glad you found my channel and are enjoying it so far. I updated the video description so you can find the foam board room tutorial link now. And as for finding the right doll house for you, it's a matter of looking in the right place at the right time. I have five: one I made, one I got in a yard sale, one I got from Facebook Marketplace, and two I got from a friend. Good luck!!
I hear you,probably won't get 1 till I get my cash from rent rebate 🤣🤣.As I'm forever budgeting & they are sooòo Expensive, at least the ones I like anyway.Thanx 4 foam board info😱
I think this is my first time seeing your awlome doll House's
I hope you thoroughly enjoyed them. They never fail to make me smile.
@@agtakesover the doll house's are Neat I hope to one day have a cool doll house. I don't have a big ticket item yet but Right now the airplane set and the Hogwarts Express is on my wishlist.
I want to make a doll house so bad!
It's so rewarding. The only one I made is the upstairs one and I absolutely love it.
where did you get the eyelashes?
I don't know which ones you mean. If they're vinyl stickers, then Itty Bitty Hearts. If they're actual lashes, then the drug store and I just cut the outer ends off a pair meant for humans.
My 2 little nieces loves bluey their 1 and going to be 3
OMG Bluey is seriously the best "kids' show" I've ever seen.
