This review is from: Barbie: Decor Collection Bedroom Playset (Toy)

I just got myself one of these sets at a dollar store on clearance. Out of the box, it's a decent set--it comes with quite a few pieces and the quality is pretty good. The bed is a bit of a disappointment as it's too short for Barbies and most other playscale dolls and figures, and instead of a frame with mattress it has one of those hideous bright pink plastic molds of an already made bed with pillows and quilt... which you cover with an actual pillow and sheet (included! but kinda crappy!). >_<
I like the vanity and wardrobe best of the set pieces, but the color scheme in general is pretty painful.

So that's out of the box. What I then did, and what I highly recommend anyone to do, is tape over all the silver handles and the mirror, and coated EVERTHING with black Krylon Fusion spray paint!
Take off the masking tape and WOW.
My dorky Barbie furniture is now CHIC. It looks EXPENSIVE and downright gorgeous! XD
I also tossed the crappy molded "mattress" and started constructing a bed frame to go with the (now very classy looking) bed boards. :P

Bottom line, this is a nice set that can become a FANTASTIC set, with a little DIY. ;)
