A couple of chairs

September last year I found some metal miniature chairs in a store, that has all kinds of cheap nick knack. I immediately recognized that the chairs were Barbie size, and I was really happy about my find, and decided to give one of these chairs a try.
In Denmark it is close to impossible to find Barbie sized furniture, unless it is plastic furniture, which I don't really like. All the doll furniture I find in stores and online are either 1:12 scale or for 45 cm dolls. If I want decent wood furniture for Barbie sized dolls, I would have to buy from another country, and in that case i prefer to either make my dolls furniture myself, or have my boyfriend make it for me. But it is not that often we get around to make the wooden doll furniture I love, my liv dolls and Paola Reinas are those I focus on when making furniture, Therefore my Barbie dolls and cat dolls (Hujoo Freyas) are mostley without furniture. My Barbie dolls actually had nothing at all, they were just sitting on and dresser I had tried out fot my Liv dolls. 


The chairs were in 3 colors, light blue, pink and seafoam green, I bought the green one. 


This chair is not really my style, I don't like decorative metal things all that much, the color is a weird shade of green, and the shape of the chair looks a bit weird to me. But the chair is sturdy and well made, it is the right size, and it was very cheap, it only cost 20 dkr. 



While I was pretty sure that the chair was teh right size, I was happy to see that the chair is the PERFECT size for my Barbie dolls. I was starting to like the sesfoam green color a bit better, since it matches some of my dolls pastel colored outfits. And so I decided to get a second chair.


I bought a light blue chair, which I think looks nice besides the green one. Im a very happy to have thoose chairs for my Barbie dolls, and I did consider getting a third one, but at that timne they were out.
While I did not really lik the look of the chairs in the begging, I must admit that I now like their pastel coloring, and I am beginng to think metal doll furniture has a certain charm, even thought I still prefer wooden furniture.
