1980s Tomy (makeover)

Tomy Smaller Home - electrified

I fell for the 70s style of the Tomy house, so although my main focus is Lundby and Lisa, I just couldn't help myself when one turned up on eBay!

This is how it started out. I decided to paint some parts such as the fireplace and the stairs, and install new floor in the kitchen and carpet in the living room.

The living room has a mix of furniture. Petite Princess armchair, footstool and table, Brio sofa, Lundby side table and lamp, and the floral armchair is Miners Industries Japan. The cabinets are original Tomy.

  The living room carpet is a piece of canvas found in the scrapbook paper section in Hobby Lobby.

The Brio sofa came with my first Lundby Stockholm - such a find!!!  One leg was missing, but you barely notice that I made a replacement. The lamp is an attempt to make a homemade lamp - still needs some work!

The bathroom is Lundby. I didn't care too much for the style of the Tomy bathroom, although some of the parts came with the dollhouse. The doll is a 1980s Glamour Gal, and the fabric is Kaffe Fassett designs.

The wallpaper is scrapbook paper which is what I mostly use for wallpaper, the bed is homemade with Kaffe Fassett fabrics, the dressing table is Brio and the chair is Arne Jacobsen's swan chair in miniature. Lamps by Lundby.

 My favorite part of this house is the large kitchen.  All the Tomy pieces were included with the dollhouse, and I love the style.  They are a little smaller than Lundby, so the newer Arne Jacobsen miniatures fit perfectly.  The table is from Caroline's Home.

The ceiling sags, so I've propped it up with a lovely rustic branch.

When I bought these Arne Jacobsen Series 7 chairs, only two were left in black, but I love the mix of the black and white chairs.

I've added Lundby power strips inside and extended some of the wires, so everything connects in the entrance.

The house in its entirety.  I painted the chimney, bathroom door and the staircase as they were a reddish brown.

The front of the house is so cool!
