This is a Lundby, about 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.

Since I wrote this I have met some extremely knowledgeable people and now I feel pretty humble. If you see this, you know who you are... please feel free to correct me =)

Bedroom in the attic

Old, small bed in the front, everything else is from the seventies/eighties. This dollhouse is situated on the top of a bookshelf and you need a ladder to see the attic. My grandchildren really appreciate that (not)

 

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 sense of colours whatsoever. On the balcony you see a strange ruin - a very old bird cage.

Living room

Old tv and grammophone. 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 daughter had a budgie a long time ago and the feathers on the easter bouqet come from this unfortunately bird who wound up in the belly 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 they sort of fit in there

Dining room 1

Two home made paintings, just printies from a magazine. I really should do real ones, but all I have is oil paint and I can't stand the smell. 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. Actually, 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 lodging there. I stem the spider flood with a heavy pot lid over the drain)

The Kitchen

Colour orgy from the 70s.

Cellar I (recreation room)

Isn't this 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 carpet is cut from a table cloth. FrayStay keeps it together =) 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.
