1974 Brio

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:

 

 

 I have collected all the Lundby dolls from the 70s - they are some of my favourite dolls!

Boys are after cake

I was able to get the chairs for a very reasonable price, but not a matching table, so I've made little leg extensions for my coffee table which I wasn't using.

This lady was out shopping while I photographed the house, so here she is!

I love these windows for the way they open!

1960s Lundby

I wanted an older Lundby for some of my oldest furniture, and I spotted this one for sale in Sweden.  Shipping cost more than the house, and it needed a bit of TLC, but I love it!  The original wallpapers are fantastic!

After:

I used colored pencils and was able to recreate most of the design of the living room wallpaper which had somehow been rubbed off by a previous owner.

I recently decided to install lights, but I could not get the electricity to work, and also there were not enough places to plug in lights, so I came up with another solution

Alternative setup:

 I've changed the bedroom a bit, it now looks like this:

Entrance and bathroom

I was so excited to find the Danish salt and sugar crocks on Etsy.  And the bread slicer is vintage Tekno.

I hung the right wall cabinet using two magnets.  There was already a glue spot where large cabinet went, but I didn't want to damage the wallpaper on the right.  On the back of the wall I have a mirror to hide the magnet.

1980s Lisa of Denmark

The wallpapers in this house are a bit dull, and I recently found an older version of this house I like better, so my plan was to sell this one, but now I'm at the point where I have too much furniture for the other one, and the latest Lisa extension I bought actually matches this one as far as the yellowed front is concerned, so I may end up keeping it - in fact furniture has already found its way in there. In this picture above it's sitting on top of a Lundby extension level - it's just a tiny bit wider.

The floors are not original.

I had fun doing a makeover (not permanent - wallpapers can be removed). I do love orange in my houses!

Older pictures with more traditional Lisa furniture

After I was lucky enough to find the rare Lisa children's room set which is now in my older Lisa house, I have moved one of my kitchens into this space:
