1974 Brio

I knew I wanted a Brio house, and I picked this version of the house for the windows. My parents' house had windows that opened just like this. Such a nice reminder!  I had it shipped from Romania, as they are hard to come by in the US, but the good part was that it included some of the kitchen pieces, and the bathtub had the hose and shower head I was missing on my bathroom set.

Before:
This is what it looked like when I got it, with the Brio furniture that came with the house. I wasn't too keen on the decor, apart from the kitchen, so I decided to change it.  The wallpapers were torn anyway.



And after a bit of work (latest pictures):

 Several families live here - the entire 70s Lundby range of dolls.

This is not one of the original Brio lamps, but a copy I tried to make using a Lundby lamp - it will do for now.

I love the shelves!





Downstairs, Kitchen.  I quite like the older, green Lundby cabinet with this red kitchen.  The floral wallpaper, wall and floor colors are original.

I wasn't sure about the Brio Europa table and white Arne Jacobsen chairs at first, but with the blue Brio lamp they look great.


And with light:
