This is a Lundby, abour
30 years old. Some people say the scale is 1:16, Lundby themselves
claim it is 1:18. I don't think it ever would have been photographed
if Sarah didn't clean it. She worked for hours.
Bedroom in the attic
Old small bed in the front, everything else is
from the seventies. This dollhouse is on the top of a bookshelf
and you need a ladder to see the attic. You can tell!
Top floor I
Personally, I find the dolls from the seventies
more attractive. This modern doll lady has a strange look, perm and
sun tan and staring eyes.....
Music
room
Grand piano in the corner and no sence of colours whatsoever. On
the balcony you see a strange ruin - a very old bird cage.
Living room
Old tv and gramophone. Best to move them
when the fifties-cabinet is ready. The christmas tree is home
made and filled with old ornaments, old fake flowers from papier
mâché. As we all know, it is hard to find real, old
ornaments from glass but you never stop trying...in the mean time
you take what you can find.
My doughter had a budgie a long time ago
and the feathers on the easter bouqet come from this unfortunately
bird who wound up in the mouth of our black cat. I used to pick
the small feathers on the bottom of the cage and attached them
on small twigs. Voila! An easter decoration!
Living
room 2
I'm not so sure if I want to have a sofa with big
flowers in my living room but I find no fault in having them here.
Dining
room 1
Two home made paintings. I really should do real
ones. The vase on the cupboard is made from an old electric gadget
from the time they made such things in porcelain. The layer cake
is made from hobby clay.
Bathroom
The interior design (?) is quite typical of the 70s. You know, it
looks just the same in our house in the country (except I never
use the vacuum cleaner in the country and there are a lot of big
hairy spiders that use to lodge there. I got rid of them by putting
a heavy pot lid over the drain)
The
Kitchen
An orgie in colours from the 70s.
Cellar
I (recreation room)
Is this not the place to put things you don't really want anymore?
Extra bed for the guests. The lamp is from the 80s, and I hope THAT
never comes back =). Pippi Longstocking on the telly.
The
cellar II
The lamp is from my daughter's childhood. What luck that I kept
the things! New carpet from a table cloth. Someone should change
the wall paper, it has seen better days...
Laundry-room
with guest toilet
A small mouse trap in the corner. This place needs some paint.
