This was really fun! A couple of things:
The "comforter" and coordinating pillows actually are the cushion for the sofa/bed in the living room, and the tea set, phone and candy dish are supposed to go on the end table. This furniture was also sold separately during this time, and if you look at the photo on the box, you'll see what I mean.
Another thing: The insert for the planter box on the left section of the house is missing, I'm not sure if it wasn't included or if it just wasn't put in place during assembly.
If you have tweezers, those can be very helpful for placing the decals/labels/stickers on the various pieces. The curved tweezers that are often used with false eyelashes are especially useful for this. I always like to do a high quality scan of labels when I get vintage playsets that haven't been put together, so I can reprint them if they become damaged.
All in all, it was really fun to see this old set put together. I have the earlier version from 1979, but mine was not mint-in-box by any means, and required a lot of restoration to be presentable.
Scanning labels/stickers is super smart! Are there a lot of people who restore old Barbie toys, houses, ect?
@@cheryl-lynnmehring8606 I don't know if a lot of people do it, but I have a pretty healthy Facebook group dedicated to sharing scans and the like. I think there is a fair number of people out there who want to restore old toys and keep them out of landfills.
Ohhh THIS is why I had the furniture and don't remember having a Barbie house! Thanks for this memory!!!
I was about to say the same thing about the sleeper sofa cushion too, and it makes sense that the furniture was sold separately. Becausebi havw distince memories of that couch a f cushion but I know I didn't have this dream house
That is not a couple of things😂
I was 5 years old in 1985. My best friend had this Barbie house, and I loved playing with it. I had several of the Barbie's shown on the paper that Hope showed us. What a nostalgic trip! ❤
Omg that would have been so much fun! My friend had the big house from a different brand and i cant remember the name darn it...I think they were trying to compete with barbies house
Did you know that weird tv?
@@Claire-pi6koOnly rich people could afford those tv and phone combo furniture sets.
Me and my sister had this one. We kept most of our toys on the porch and our friends played with it and our other toys
My sister and I had this. It was epic
I was born in 1982 and had this exact Barbie house. My mother assembled it entirely by Christmas morning, so it’s really neat to see this whole process of assembly. Tbh, I’m glad to have missed it. Looks tedious.
To have one’s own Barbie house was a real coming of age event. I remember we shamelessly played with Barbies till like 7th or 8th grade. To this day, I will play Monster High or Barbies and kinda enjoy it too. Idk why we think of it as ages 3-10. It’s a fashion doll!
So I’m pretty sure that “TV” in the bedroom that confused both Hope and Tyler was actually meant to be a VIDEO PHONE, which was a popular “futuristic/high-tech” concept in the 80s and 90s. You can even see the handset (like on old land lines) next to the screen and the little buttons for dialing, etc. If you’ve ever seen the original Total Recall movie, they have something similar going on. Hope this helps! ❤☎️📞
Awww yes! I think you're right
Absolutely it is. I was looking for this comment. my cousin had this at the time, i got Castle Grey Skull (Xmas gifts from Grandma).
@@spwolftechfunny and cute that you added it was a gift, as if to be sorry for having something so luxurious ha ❤
It's not a video phone, actually. It's supposed to be a TV. If it was a videophone, it would have a photo of someone using a phone for the video screen. This is the same construction as the 1979 Dream Furniture Bed, Nightstand & Rug, and I can tell you as someone who was alive and aware in 1979 that video phones were very much not a thing that year. But 'console' furniture with lots of gadgets built into them very much were a thing at that time.
So you can see each other on that scream when you call with that phone?
I was 8 in '85 and my cousin had this and I was soooo jealous! The Barbie houses these could NEVER! I don't even think they give details like the plants these days and you DEFINITELY don't get that many accessories. You got your money's worth back then. Now they give you a few plastic items and call it $200+. I can't believe someone still had this in the original packaging untouched. That is crazy commitment!!
This video makes me super appreciative of how much "behind the scenes" my parents had to do to have this completely put together under the Christmas tree! Talk about labor-intensive. Thanks Hope!!
Hope this is literally living every girls DREAM! I love how obsessed she is with Barbie!
Edit: OMG TYSM FOR THE LIKES!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️WE LOVE YOU HOPE!
14:56 the hair stuck on the house
@@Mel-nu3on😂😂😂😂
U can't blame her im in middle school and I still love barbie ❤
@@Lila_is_preepy lol same!
My mom will turn 40 this year, I showed her this and her friend had the exact same doll house when she was young (My mom was low-key jealous of that) 💟 Thank you for making this video my mama really enjoyed remembering the memories of her childhood:)
Oh I feel so old now!
Do any of the pieces still smell like vanilla???? I had this exact dream house when I was 5, on Christmas morning of 1985. Thank you for bringing back such a wonderful memory! You are so adored and appreciated!!!!!
Who came after watching the video from the main channel
8 months later with your first reply. Hello!
Me
Me
Me
Nine months here! :)
My mom was the diy queen back in the day! ❤ She couldn't buy me this house so she diy'd some accessories for me. She made my barbie dresses, a closet out of cardboard and little wire hangers from notebook springs. Amazing detail for my tiny Barbie 😍
When he said that little bug was in the box for 40 years I went “Impossible! I’m not that old!” And then it hit me that yes. I am, indeed, that old. 😅
I played with this house for years! Thank you for building it and showing it again! I also had the Barbie townhome at my grandparents and played with that one all the time on the weekends. So many memories! I hope you do the cars, I had that red Ferrari and took it everywhere. I also had a carriage that came with the Cinderella play set.
Also, Blinking Beauty, if you can find her, a horse that actually blinks would be perfect to round off everything! Lol.
Can we just appreciate how much work and money she puts into these videos we love you hope ❤
🙄
JK I AGREE❤️❤️❤️😂
@@_SCRUMPTIOUS_
Lol i thouhgt you are hater
@@iids15same lmao
I agree but this is technically her job 😊
I remember wanting this so bad when I was a child but my family could never afford it- so I lived vicariously through friends who had one. Thank you for bringing back a huge wave of nostalgia to me!! ❤
Coming from a girl who was born in 88 this brought back so many memories. So cute love watching you.❤❤❤
I'm one of those moms who put this together on Christmas Eve! It took my husband and I twelve hours and we laughed, got angry, laughed more! Thanks for the memories! You are delightful!
This was so nostalgic. That was my Barbie dream house. I remember so vividly. My parents bought it as a Christmas gift. I showed my mom the video and she instantly remembered the dream house. Thanks for the memory. Love your videos.
As soon as Hope opened the little pamphlet that showed all the Barbies, I had a flashback!! I totally remember that little booklet and poring over each Barbie, trying to pick the order of my favorites... I didn't have the DreamHouse but definitely played with it at friends' houses. Some Barbies and "playsets" came with the booklet too. Thank you so much, Hope, for the nostalgic trip back in time!! 🕑 ❤
I was 15 in 1985. I can't believe you opened it!!! And assembled it!!! Oh my goodness, my collectors heart is trembling. I could never open it.
Yeah it's cool to see. But that looks in good condition and would have been worth so much more had she gotten it graded and looked for a used one to build. That box's colors still look clear.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏
you've remind me of what someone once said "The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too". This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..Inves tment is the key that can secure your family future.
I urge everyone to start somewhere now no matter how small, this is literally the time for that, forget material things, don't get tempted,i became more better the moment i realized this.
yeah Inves tment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Inves tment without a proper guidance of an ex pert can lead to a great loss too
exactly! That's my major concern and what kind of profitable business or investment can someone do with the current rise in economic downturn
Hello nice comments here, please what exactly kind of investment are you talking about here, I'm really interested too
I worked for a childcare center, and in 2018, we purchased a new Barbie Dream House for the center. I thought that one was nice, but this one from 1985 is way nicer than that one. I'm always so impressed with how detailed they are, and this one is so nice. I loved it had such a nice bedroom set with a foam mattress and a sheet and pillows and a comforter. And the flower planters were so pretty! It just goes to show how much better quality things were made back then. This set is 3 years older than me. Going to go watch your other video with all the Dream Houses!
This is my favorite doll house of all time. My cousin had it and when she grew older I “inherited” and I cherished it and loved it the rest of its years. I will hold a special place for this one!
My Barbies lived in a sneakers‘ box 😅 but it’s amazing how well made these houses were. The sofa blew my mind!!
My Barbies lived in cardboard boxes for years before I got a dreamhouse. I turned the boxes so the opening was on the sides and stacked them in different arrangements. Because they were often different sized boxes, the split levels were crazy. Luckily the stairs were all imaginary at that point!
Kinda fitting because the first dream houses were cardboard anyway
I was 5 when this came out. The attention to detail was superb back then when it came to Barbie. We would sit for hours, if not days, putting this stuff together and play for hours almost evryday afterwards. We stayed busy! Parents didn’t do it for us or help us. We figured it out. So fun and great memories.
Okay can we please talk about how much time she put in to look like a 1900 barbie like and she slayed that look love you hope ❤
Can you imagine parents putting this together Christmas Eve lol 😊
I like how the older ones is so detailed unlike the newer version of dollhouse we have in this generation. I wish they produce more of this thing.
You just made one of my childhood fantasies come true. I wanted one of these so badly as as kiddo in the 90's. It just was not to be. It's fun as as adult to get to see this stuff now . Thanks Hope. 🌈❤ Btw I love your "Fitness" Barbie outfit! You rocked it Hope.
Love the fitness Barbie outfit, too! I second this 💯%!💥💘😍😍😍
The appliances were so cute - I don’t know why they got rid of them for later versions
appliances are the funnest part
I absolutely loved this! I'm 54 and I'm totally jealous watching you put this together!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can we just appreciate hope’s earrings that glow in the dark also how much money she spends just for our entertainment Love you hope👑🥰
So many memories! Thank you for investing in this and living the dream of every 80s kid that played with Barbies.
Amazing find. It needs to be in a toy museum.
I remember getting this for Christmas but I was younger then 10, which I was in 1985. And my parents did put it together!!! This made feel both old and nostalgic!!!
I'm so jealous 😂. I was born in 75 never got it but I remember it was my dream😂.I'm glad you had it❤.
I was 7 in 1985 watching this took me back to my childhood even though I didn't have the dream house. I can honestly say I never saw a TV like that lol. Thank you for this it was fun.
I was 7 in 1985 too! My cousins had an older Barbie house with an elevator. I loved playing with it!
As someone who had this...the "comforter" and little pillows you put on the bed actually go on the pull-out sofa.
That phone TV was the weirdest thing for me, and I had this back in 1990. We literally had NOTHING like that back then.
I remember having strep throat AND scarlet fever during winter break that year, and Santa brought me the Dreamhouse...which was a total surprise because I don't remember asking for it. So I was still kinda sick Christmas morning and saw the box unwrapped under the tree, and I automatically tore into it to try to put it together myself because I was sick and excited. And my mom was mad at me because I didn't wait until she was up to help me with it.
You're so right about the bedding! I was thinking the same thing and spoke to Hope through my phone, telling her this 😂
@carlabarrick8538 There should also be a similar plastic wicker fold-out chaise lounger with the same sort of cushioning. Mine came with it, so maybe they included more furniture with my 1990 version?
Yes!!!! Just finished watching with my daughters. I'm 47 and had (still have 😂) the orange roofed Dream House. I had the pullout couch and single chair. HOPE, put the comforter on the couch!!!
I'm such a huge barbie fan and having all this completely packaged is a collectors dream!! Such a fun video idea and Hopes hair is SO perfect for a Barbie video
This is a beautiful Barbie Dreamhouse. (Keep this one for your future daughters)
I love how she’s so determine to show us all those vintage childhood we never get to have🥹
Can’t we all just agree that she looks like a real life barbie.❤ She’s just so beautiful.
Hope is literally living her childhood dream and i love it! ❤❤❤
I love when she reviews old toys
I got this dream house when I was 6 back in 1994. This brought back SO many memories!! I remember playing with this house so much, I loved it!
I love the fact you are being transparent about how expensive this hobby is and tedious work putting it together. However, when you have a hobby and love something that makes you happy, it’s all worth it. One life to live ❤😊
The fact that hope even dressed in the 80s style with the colorful leotard and tights under it and the hair too and earrings, is everything to me 😂😂
I love this! I totally lived vicariously through you in this video! I’m so happy that you made the investment for us! My parents would not have been able to afford this when I was young and I definitely would not have spent $6000 for this! Thank you Hope!!!!
My daughter loved watching this with me. She says it is amazing and this was her favorite house. She loves watching Hope videos with me.
I started playing with Barbies around 1967 and she taught me that I could be whatever I wanted. (well, my parents too). With the Barbie movie out now, I'd love to see you keep going on this - get more of her houses, dune buggy, etc. The older clothes from the 60s and 70s were so freaking wonderful and beautifully made. Glad I was around to enjoy them back then. love you!
The amount of time and MONEY you put into your videos is truly amazing! I just know how much you love us, your fans. And we love you, QUEEN 👑💕
I worked with ebay before and most influencer/youtubers are actually returning the items like after doing a video about it😂 and fortunately,Hope is one of them and I really adore her for going big in her contents
@@clarizzeescape7587 who cares? Lol I’d return them too. Still, she puts a lot of money into her channel either way.
the fact there was no BARBIE purchased for the dream house is soul crushing
I had this dollhouse as a kid. Brought back lots of good memories :)
Thank you so much for doing this video! I was born in 1984 but this was the Barbie house I had when I was 5 years old! I remember playing for hours with all my Barbie’s and this house! I wish I still had it, I can not believe how much you spent on it! I would love to find one of these for my daughter ❤️ very nostalgic for me so thank you 🥰
Hope: I won't spend $7000 on Swarovski Timberlands, no way
Also Hope: spends almost $7000 on a Barbie dream house 😂
We love you girl, got the right priorities 🎉❤
You must have an angel for a husband, watching him help you put that dollhouse together just proved it. Go hubby!
This was my barbie house as a kid and I remember that my mom and dad always complained about how long it took to build it but I love it as it a kid 😂 thx for showing it again for me and my parents ❤love you Hope 😂😅😊😊😊😊
This is so nostalgic to me, as I was born in 86. Never had a dream home but I did have a really fun motor home!
I love it! It’s giving me retro vibes! I wish everyone was as happy as hope!
The bug tho 😳😳😳
This made me so emotional because I wanted this so bad as a kid. So exciting to see it again after all these years ❤
This w a s so great to watch I passed down my 85 dream house to my daughter (not in this great of shape) and we were watching together in amazement! Thank you soooo much!❤
I never had any barbie sets growing up so this is such a satisfying video lol. the 1985 one was def my favorite!
OMG. Hope, you just unlocked a memory for me. I had princess barbie! The dress had glow in the dark stars. I totally forgot about it, just seeing the design on the box made me remember! Holy smokes, I thought I only got knock-off barbies growing up.
THIS IS HONESTLY AAAAMAZING!!! 🙌🏼❤️ Born in 85.. N I was a boy playing with Barbies... I would've loved this!!!
You MUST follow up with barbie cars! I have my 1988 barbie camper van, it's been well played with and now my daughter is enjoying it. The latest Barbie camper is so awesome with a slide, I don't have it but watching your videos is making me think, why not? These toys have created so many decades of imaginative play!
I was 4 in 1985. But I remember just a few years after this came out I started hanging out with this rich, bratty kid that had it. I would suffer her snobby and absolutely atrocious attitude just so I could play with her dream house. We didn't have a lot of money and I only had one Barbie and that was a Peaches and Cream Barbie (which was my absolute freaking favorite to this day) I would come over there and play for hours.
As I watch you unbox this I can just remember all these memories of all these little pieces and parts and playing with them. Nothing screams 80's like wicker furniture and candelabras 😂 I was a kid who no little detail was wasted on. And actually that little miniscreen TV, I used to have the real version of that in my bedroom all the way up until the mid-90s when I was in high school.
Side Note
My aunt , who was a living brunette Barbie 80's QUEEN(wore Jordache, Kswiss and drove a red Mustang)! She had a TV on the stand and a wicker loveseat that folded out in to a little twin bed. When I get to spend time with her I would sit on that loveseat and watch that TV and pretend I was Barbie!
Geez Hope, thanks for bringing back so many happy memories
I JUST LOVE THIS!!! My ringtone has been the "Barbie Girl" song, ever since optional ringtones existed!!!! I SOOO can't wait for this Movie to come out! And......FYI...I am 50 something years old!! LIVED for Barbie's growing up!!!! OK, just barely started watching the video, and I graduated in 1984!! You make me feel OLD, yet....ALWAYS GIVE ME HOPE!!!!
This was the dreamhouse I had as a kid! So exciting to see the unboxing & building!
Watching this brings me so much joy! I was 6 years old when this would have come out!
I am here for all the fun Barbie nostalgia 💖💖💖
Hey Hope love watching your videos. Caught this one and wanted to let you know your "comforter" and pillows are reversible for the couch in the living room along with the tea set . I had the whole living room set when I was younger . Keep up the great work. P.S tried the hoodie skirt cropped top hack LOVED IT. Plan to do it again with different colored hoodies. Thank you! Have a good day . I know you made my day great.
Aw man I was hoping to see more 2000s houses. I had the blue cottage as a kid and I found the pink cottage for my kids 💕
I'd kill for them to just bring this out again because it's the best barbie house by far MUCH better then any 2000's one and I can say that I was born in 2008
Oh my goodness! I remember getting the folded paper with all the pictures of the Barbies! I miss that part in my childhood! They need to bring back the Barbies from the 80's...made the same exact way!
This is the dream house my mom had growing up! My grandma saved all of the Barbie things my mom and aunt had. So I also grew up playing with this dream house!
Wow! I was 4 years old when this came out. Now I'm 42 😂 I remember having a bunch of those dolls you showed too.
Tiny telly's were a thing...lol I love your videos! keep up the amazing work!
This is literally so cool I love the nostalgia In This video
This and the main videos are like living my Barbie little girl dreams! I could never get a Barbie Dream House even though it was on my Santa list every year (but they were expensive so I get it). The closest thing I had was a Barbie apartment that folded up into a suitcase. I loved it though because I could travel with it (which came in handy when I went to spend summers with my dad after my parents divorced). I still have it and now my niece plays with it along with my old Barbies.
Also, props to Hope for building all of those Barbie houses and accessories with those nails!! I know I would have broken all of them.
My parents got me one for Christmas back around 08 but got it MONTHS ahead of time so I honestly feel like they got it on a good sale before buying it because I don't think I would have gotten one otherwise. I told them I didn't care if it was my only gift the year before because I just wanted one.
This dollhouse was the very last Christmas gift from my grandmother. She passed away the following spring. SO many memories.
This brought back so many memories. We had the 1979 version that was passed to us. W used to play for days in that house. Yes, days!!! I played with that house until I was 13 years old. BTW for the TV I had a very old TV 4 inch screen that you could bring with you everywhere and charge it in the car
The trifold “comforter” and the pillows actually go on the sofa bed, I had this when I was a kid, this was such a trip down memory lane!
Can we just appreciate how her outfit matches the vibe of the 80’s Barbie dolls
EEEEk! I had this EXACT Barbie dream house. I watched your video and immediately called my mom and thanked her for taking the time to put it together and having it ready for me on Christmas morning. I was SO unaware of how long it took to put together and how much work it was. My mom said it took her and my step dad 12 hours, but they had fun doing it and its a really happy memory for her. My step dad passed away in February 2023 and she had never shared that memory with me. So thank you for this video because it started a great conversation of memories with my mom!
I love how she just keep continuing the unboxing even tho her nails is broken and one of the pieces is broken you're now my favorite
i literally can not express in words the level of "happiness jealousy" im feeling watching this video!!!!! i would literally hit child for the opportunity to have put this together with you... i mean not really but you get it! omg this is amazing i was born in 87 so the dream house i grew up with was the 2 story victorian but this one specifically has always been my favorite shape barbie house that has ever happened!!!!! also i prefer this pink and white color scheme to the 1979 red/yellow/avocado color scheme! this was THE PERFECT DREAMHOUSE!!!!!!!
So much fun to see it come together. Thanks for putting so much time and money for our entertainment. You are adorable and so down to earth. Thanks for being you 😊
OMG her hair us stunning like that 😍 💖
I am so glad I am not the only grown person who loves Barbie. I have never had a Barbie house. But I have many Barbie’s. But! We need a Hopescope Barbie!
It was strangely satisfying to watch you play with a Barbie Dream House from the year I was born haha
Oh and Hope!!!! The reversible pillows and “comforter” you put on the bed are actually made for the pull out wicker sofa!!!! That’s why it has 3 folds in it.
This is the one I had 🩷😍🩷😍🩷😍
The the the comforter and 2 pillows that you put on the bed actually go on the sofa.
Thank you for this video!!! It was a wonderful journey down memory lane. 💓
My poor dad had to do all this work to build it for me. I put on all the stickers and twisted out the little plastic accessories.
This was so nostalgic to watch! Thanks for filming this unboxing video. We had this house and my friends and I played with it for hours! I remember spending all day playing, only taking breaks for lunch and snacks. We also had some of those Barbies on the pamphlet.
We had a travel T.V. In the 80’s that was like that. The channels were on a dial like a radio. It plugged in but also used 8 DD batteries. My sister and I shared the 1979 dream house.
All your Barbie content has been so much fun. I loved Barbies growing up. I think it's kind of funny that someone bought a Barbie Dream House in the 80's and never opened it up. I'm curious why someone would hold onto something all these years if no little girls were playing with it. But it's really fun to see a house in such great condition.
Probably that and realized they could make a profit out of it after so many decades.
I'm pretty sure the flower bed set is for the pull out couch!
I had that Barbie house. Almost brought me to tears watching this. Nostalgia at its finest
This was the dream house I had. Love this so much ❤❤❤❤❤
Next you should get the newest Barbie dream house and pick your favourite one
I had some of the furniture when I was little. The flower pillows and “comforter” that you put on the bed is actually the pull out couch mattress and pillows. Loved this video!
Thank you so much for these videos. The time and effort is appreciated. Makes me remember my childhood fondly.
