Welcome to my collection. If you are on a PC or a tablet, on the right you will see a list of all my houses. Click on each one to see pictures. I often move furniture and accessories around, so I try to keep the photos up to date. In a few cases you will see older photos after the latest.

1970s - my first dollhouse

My first dollhouse - 1970s

My dad built my very first dollhouse for me.  I'm thinking he must have measured somebody's Lundby to copy it.






The dolls I had are long gone, but I remember having some of the ARI dolls, so I found this one on Etsy in a wonderful retro dress.



I know it looks like it needs some TLC, but I can't bear to change anything much.  I have added more lights, and I may replace the wallpaper upstairs, but only if I ever find the exact same wallpaper. Otherwise I will just try to hide some of the worst areas with a few more paintings.


I'm still thinking about what wallpaper to use in the kitchen.  The original is gone, and I have no idea what was there before.


I love the floors my dad chose.  It's a self-adhesive vinyl, probably Brazilian Rosewood.  I have tried to find a roll to buy, but so far no luck.


I love the bathroom "tiles"!

    It's lovely you still have your childhood dollhouse. My childhood dollhouse was an apple box with a roof added. It was rough but I loved it and unfortunately never kept it.
