AMAZING DIY SUITES


When I first learned about the new DIY items, I was so excited that I decided immediately that I would do a feature on suites using the items. I just knew that I would be seeing amazing suites everywhere on my visits. And I did see amazing suites... So many suites... But they all looked the same. That is not a criticism of the beautiful suites I ran into, just the reality of working with the DIY items. They are such strong pieces, that you really have to work to make them your "own". So this feature took a little longer than I had hoped. I hope you like the suites that I have chosen.

How does she do it!

Solyma77's Suite

She has created the perfect attic bedroom! A room with angles, corners, tight corners and niches. I think that any little girl would be happy to call this room her own. 

How did she do it? With the perfect combination of DIY, plaza and Stardesign items is how she did it. You would think that you could just buy this as a back drop and place your items in this suite, but that would be too easy... wouldn't it. I love everything about this space! From the loving details, to the amazing attention paid to scale and detail.

Not sure exactly how she did it... but I sure am happy that she did!

It is just so darn pretty!

simplicitygal's Suite

I love this idea! I would have never in a million years come up with this idea. But an idea is not enough to make an amazing suite, is it? It is the attention that is paid to the details and the balance that is then achieved. This suite has surpassed this balance! Each item is in its proper place! Everything fits perfectly and just increases the beauty of its friend and partner. Which in the end, just makes me say.. It is so darn pretty!

Simplicity! What an enormous effect it has...

SarahVIP's Suite

Honestly.. I feel like I shouldn't say too much, I would hate to ruin the vibe that this suite is emitting. Keep it light, keep it easy, let the pieces speak for themselves. Yep, that is what it is saying, so that is what I will do. I will let the picture speak for itself.

Layering and style...

umathuma's Suite

I really like this suite. She has used the items to create a space behind the main room, which gives the effect that the windows are recessed. Her DIY items play a prominent role in her suite, but the effective use of furniture and props ensure that the room still has personality and distinct character.

Breakfast will be at 8, so don't be late.

Rosie.doll's Suite

You will have to look closely to find the DIY items in this suite. But you will find them... That is the brilliance of this kitchen, the window is just that.. a window. The scene looks so real, that I feel inclined to tell you to hurry so she can get on with her breakfast, before her egg gets cold. There is so much to see, so make sure to take your time... I would hate for you to miss anything..

AMAZING DIY SUITES #6


It's nice! Yep, that is what my daughter said when she saw this suite... With a smile on her face...

desiderata2's Suite

I have to agree with my daughter, it is nice. There is nothing not to like about it, only everything to love. And did you see what happened to the Paris skyline? Brilliant idea, it has become a picture that serves to marry the colour pallet in the suite. A wonderful use of the new DIY items.

Pretty in Pink!

LiLyHicks' Suite

When everything appears to be so soft... so sweet... so happy... so pink... All you can do is smile. I love how the colours in the suite bring out the subtle pinks in the DIY skyline. I had not seen it before, but once you notice it, it is hard not to think Stardoll had a suite like this in mind when they designed it. This is truly a beautiful suite... and doll.

Designer Kitchen, custom appliances, amazing view! Yes.. that is perfection!!!!

BeAFoxxyLady's Suite

First you must have the idea and then begins the search for the right pieces. There is so much thought put into this suite. There is nothing missing! And the new DIY items just add to the beauty of her concept. Everything fits, everything complements each other, it is the perfect plan. The DIY and Stardesign items appear to be made for each other in this suite. A perfect harmony.

Who wouldn't like to live in Paris? Especially in this loft!

chucklesalot's Suite

What really takes this suite to the next level is the consequent monochromatic theme and the brilliant use of Stardesign items. I have always been a fan of using a combination of plaza and design items and I hope that after you visit this amazing suite, you too will be inspired to create spaces with more design items. As you can witness with her suite, it is what really sets a suite apart from the others.

AMAZING DIY SUITES #10


The flooring and skyline lend themselves beautifully for creating the perfect So-Ho loft. 

CrazyCharmy's Suite

This doll used her items to compliment her suite. You could almost miss them, if you were to not pay close attention. All of the elements fit together beautifully to give you the feeling of open sophistication.
