Unpopular Opinions about the AG Dollhouse

 I am planning to totally personalize the American Girl doll Dollhouse.

There's a lot I don't like about the original. 

I don't care about sound effects. I'm deaf. It's a waste of money to me. No doubt they were trying to make it more playable, but it doesn't appeal to me. 

I like working lights in a dollhouse, yes. I wish the light fixtures were more classic and less trendy.

I don't see any need for a bathroom. Again, this seems to be popular with kids. I just don't care.

I really hate images of furniture and rugs printed on the floor and walls. It makes it look like a cheap Barbie dollhouse made of cardboard that I had as a kid. 

I think having a hot tub on the second floor is silly. It makes it less like a real house.

I think they would have made more money by cutting out a lot of the special effects and pricing it lower. That would have made it more achievable for more people. Obviously they were trying to make it "luxury." To me, they just made it silly.

I'm planning to make mine a lot more Victorian and classic and remove a lot of the included features.  I want to be able to display both historical and modern dolls and change the interior for both the season and the time period. 

I have a lot of ideas about how to do this. I will share soon.
