HOW IT ALL BEGAN Sally’s Lundby Gothenburg dollhouse was a Christmas gift from her parents in the early 1970s. She fondly remembers many happy hours playing with it as a child. Years later, she and her dad lovingly restored it and began adding custom extensions to accommodate Sally’s expanding furniture collection. The house—now a sprawling eight-story tower—measures just shy of 5 feet (1.5 meters) across. A BRIEF TOUR The original Lundby sections are the top two floors and the living/TV room and formal lounge on Level 5. The rest was designed by Sally and constructed by her dad in various phases. Wherever possible they used Lundby parts purchased on eBay (doors, windows, balustrades, staircases, and more), seamlessly blending the new with the original. They started by adding a two-story basement to the original house to create a garden area with a balcony, billiard room, and indoor space for the swimming pool. Phase 2 saw the addition of Level 3 and the two levels at the bottom right, including the garage, utility room with WC at the rear, bar, and garden terrace off the kitchen. Sally adapted an original Lundby balcony for use in this level. Level 4 features an outdoor patio area and a family/game room, as well as a landing, second bathroom, and office with adjoining conservatory. Level 5 includes the girls’ bedroom and above it on Level 6 are the parents’ suite and boys’ bedroom. A CREATIVE TOUCH Some of the furniture and unique accessories you see throughout Sally’s amazing house were created by Sally herself. She made the billiard table from a 12th scale dining table, adding molding around the edges and gluing a piece of green carpet on top. The cues are made from wooden barbecue skewers and the balls are colored beads. The green suite to the right of the billiard table was a damaged Barton/Caroline’s Home set that Sally re-covered to match the other furnishings. The washing machine is made from a small cardboard box covered in glossy photographic paper. The round door is made from window acetate and a key ring, and the control panel is a piece of dark cardboard with silver beads for the buttons. The bed and bedding and wardrobe unit in the parents’ bedroom are made from small wood off-cuts, fabric, and sticky-back plastic with a woodgrain effect. The cabin bed/high sleeper in the girls’ bedroom is made from wood off-cuts and a 12th scale bedside cabinet. Sally also made the girls’ patchwork bedding and the curtains in all the rooms. The patio heater on the top floor balcony has a parasol made from a cocktail umbrella. Sally made the weight bench in the family/game room using bits of wood and dowel. The weights are vehicle wheels that she purchased from a model shop and attached to a section of welding rod. She finished it off with two Lundby floor cushions. A WORK IN PROGRESS Sally finds her dollhouse project to be very therapeutic and satisfying, and her passion for it has grown over time. So have her ideas and inspiration! Her latest addition—now in progress—is a ground floor stable area.

I just finished a commission for Linda. It's a half scale custom dollhouse English style. It has an oval base. And I left room for Linda to put her potting shed and garden set. The little fairy door inside the dollhouse. The stone chimney has flowering vines. The interior is well aged and cozy. This is the kitchen. The old fireplace is the space for Linda's Aga stove. Living room. The rose wallpapered bedroom. And a bathroom. Thanks Linda for the project! Linda will send pictures once she's all done decorating Miss Read's Cottage. And I'll share them with all of you. She's already made some purchases that are out of this world cute! Thanks for stopping by!

De ingerichte Trousseau Workshops | 29 Mei 2012 | 22:50:58 Vorige maand liet ik de Trousseau zien die ik tijdens een workshop van Wim van Soest had gemaakt. Een leren reiskoffer van fijn leer en bekleed met stof en van binnen nog erg kaal: Afgelopen week was het vervolg van de workshop: het aankleden van de Trousseau bij Stineke van Atelier "eenoptwaalf" in Sliedrecht. Er waren twee opties voor de aankleding: een babypopje of een popje met pijpekrullen. Het laatste was de bedoeling eigenlijk( dat had ik vooraf aangegeven) maar bij het zien van het babypopje veranderde ik toch mijn keuze nog deze dag. Ik had al wat babyspulletjes ooit gemaakt ( zie vorig logje over de Trousseau) en dat zou leuk staan. Op de workshopdag zijn we begonnen met de Trousseau te voorzien van kant, het popje aangekleed, het spiegeltje erin gemaakt ,het beertje geschilderd en van een jurkje voorzien en een begin gemaakt met het babymandje. Tussendoor heerlijk gegeten en veel tippen gekregen over de aankleding. Stineke had een doosje klaar gezet tijdens de workshop met allerlei spulletjes voor de aankleding...makkelijk om het er zo bij te pakken en aan het eind van de dag mee te nemen. Rond 5 uur ging ik met een prachtig popje en geen kale reiskoffer naar huis om het verder thuis af te maken. Eénmaal bezig met zoiets krijg ik steeds meer ideëen . Zondag had ik eindelijk tijd om er aan te beginnen....van het één kwam het ander...eigen spulletjes erbij gezocht voor de nieuwe ideeën, passen en meten, schilderen, strikjes maken. Tot vanavond aan toe zelfs toen ik het idee van een handdoek met badeendje kreeg bij het vullen van de lade...dus geel badeendje roze schilderen, parelmoer nagellak erover en ja toch nog een beetje te roze...dus het laatste stukje zijdelint gebruikt om een piepklein strikje te maken. En ja nu is die af en helemaal naar mijn zin........ Op reis is dit babymeisje van alle gemakken voorzien Een fopspeentje met spuugdoekje, de fles en billenzalf, De rammelaar, luiers in de lade en handdoek en badeendje. En voor de finishing touch , een kammetje en borsteltje, haarolie en haarlotion....en daarna lekker spelen met de knuffelbeer! Ik ben er ontzettend blij mee en ik kan hier echt uren naar kijken ..... ik kom er nu achter dat ik geen enkel babyminatuurtje gebruikt heb wat ik de eerste keer liet zien....had toch wel alles meegenomen op de workshopdag en ook thuis er steeds bij gehad...zo zie je maar al werkende komen er steeds andere ideeën!
