Mid Century Dolls' house

GOOD GOLLY MISS DOLLY
is thrilled to present
OUR FIRST COMPLETE DOLLS’ HOUSE

...............................................................................................................

This lovely dolls’ house came to us in a rather sorry state, complete with mouse droppings. But, after some careful cleaning and with the addition of a wall in the top floor to make another bedroom space, it is ready to be played with again.
The external brick paper has been patched, floors and ceilings painted, walls papered with mid century-inspired papers, and a real wooden floor laid in the sitting room. While we are not sure when the house was made, all the furniture dates from the 1950’s and 60’s, while the accessories are a mix of old and new. In the children’s bedroom, there’s American Strombecker bunkbeds and antique chest of drawers; in the double bedroom a matching, bed and mirrored drawers. (Note: all our bedding is handmade, hand-washable, and often crafted from vintage fabrics.)
The sitting room’s furniture is all craftsman made, from the seating to the storage units, albeit by different makers. Note the stretched-canvas “painting” on the left wall. And all the soft furnishings are handmade and hand-washable. In the kitchen, all items are factory-made with the exception of the wall shelves. The dining set is by Strombecker, while the amazing metal kitchen is from the German manufacturer, Fuchs. Please note the vintage packaging, the fabulous copper pans, the mop, and lovely array of white ceramic china.
The doll family come from two manufacturers – Kenner and Suzanne Gibson; their clothes are stored in the drawers of their bedrooms.
And last but not least, there are seven LED battery-operated light fittings within the house, operated by individual little switches. All in all, we are delighted to show you our unique creation - a stylish, mid-century modern townhouse for our dolls to inhabit.
