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.

1963 Brio Alphyddan


My latest purchase - Alphyddan!

Before:



I'm still working on this one, but the progress so far:





 Minimii chairs - I wish they were the same size as the original Brio chairs, the new ones are really too small to match other Lundby/Brio/Lisa furniture.  I made the lamp/mirror myself.

 Brio living room set.

 The study.  A Lundby desk, and Cadovius shelving (I made the shelving system myself).

I was excited to get a butterfly chair for the office - I really like this dark green color!

Here is a closeup of the shelves, since Catharina was interested in seeing how I made them - now I notice that some of the books are upside down, though!!!

 Brio bathroom units, Lundby mirror and lamp.

 I love the Lime green kitchen from Lundby, here mixed with a couple of Brio pieces and a Jenny's Home girl.









1970s Hanse - with rooftop garden extension floor

My 70s flat-roof Hanse with the garden extension floor.  The furniture is a mix of many different brands, chosen mainly for the colours.  An extended Flagg family lives here.
























1957 Lundby

One of the very first Lundby models. Unfortunately the original floors were damaged by a previous owner.

 This house was not pre-wired, but already had a few holes through for lamps, and no wallpaper on the back, so I decided to wire it myself.

 Jenny's home bathroom pieces - I love the colours!



Yay - I finally got the matching foot stool!

I made a couple of Kay Bojesen monkeys using polymer clay :)



Lisa chairs, now replaced with the Greta chairs from Lundby

 Lundby Greta chairs
I love this little "silver" Tri-ang/Jenny's Home set

 Jenny's home dolls - they only have one shoe between them.



 Lundby's dark orange kitchen.



The plant stand is probably my all-time Lundby favorite!


 


1960s Hanse


Before


The original wallpapers may grow on me.  At the moment I have covered them with loose card/hessian that can always be removed again if I change my mind.  I find that the more neutral hessian makes the house look less busy and makes the furniture stand out more

 

My 60s Hanse house has become a showcase for my Dol-Toi dolls: Sir Francis Dolan-Toisey is a famous explorer and collector. He has invited friends he has made on his journeys to inspect his extensive collection. He's currently setting up his telescope to show the children one of his discoveries. 

It was so much fun collecting all the little bits for this house!



The children are having fun in the viking ship!


Lots of food for the guests!



I wonder if some of the Egyptian pieces are cursed!



A doctor and nurse are ready to step in!
