Een poppenhuis opknappen: zo doe je dat! Rianne toverde een oud poppenhuis om tot een modern en hip poppenhuis en deelt hier haar stappenplan.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN Sally’s Lundby Gothenburg dollhouse was a Christmas gift from her parents in the early 1970s. She fondly remembers many happy hours playing with it as a child. Years later, she and her dad lovingly restored it and began adding custom extensions to accommodate Sally’s expanding furniture collection. The house—now a sprawling eight-story tower—measures just shy of 5 feet (1.5 meters) across. A BRIEF TOUR The original Lundby sections are the top two floors and the living/TV room and formal lounge on Level 5. The rest was designed by Sally and constructed by her dad in various phases. Wherever possible they used Lundby parts purchased on eBay (doors, windows, balustrades, staircases, and more), seamlessly blending the new with the original. They started by adding a two-story basement to the original house to create a garden area with a balcony, billiard room, and indoor space for the swimming pool. Phase 2 saw the addition of Level 3 and the two levels at the bottom right, including the garage, utility room with WC at the rear, bar, and garden terrace off the kitchen. Sally adapted an original Lundby balcony for use in this level. Level 4 features an outdoor patio area and a family/game room, as well as a landing, second bathroom, and office with adjoining conservatory. Level 5 includes the girls’ bedroom and above it on Level 6 are the parents’ suite and boys’ bedroom. A CREATIVE TOUCH Some of the furniture and unique accessories you see throughout Sally’s amazing house were created by Sally herself. She made the billiard table from a 12th scale dining table, adding molding around the edges and gluing a piece of green carpet on top. The cues are made from wooden barbecue skewers and the balls are colored beads. The green suite to the right of the billiard table was a damaged Barton/Caroline’s Home set that Sally re-covered to match the other furnishings. The washing machine is made from a small cardboard box covered in glossy photographic paper. The round door is made from window acetate and a key ring, and the control panel is a piece of dark cardboard with silver beads for the buttons. The bed and bedding and wardrobe unit in the parents’ bedroom are made from small wood off-cuts, fabric, and sticky-back plastic with a woodgrain effect. The cabin bed/high sleeper in the girls’ bedroom is made from wood off-cuts and a 12th scale bedside cabinet. Sally also made the girls’ patchwork bedding and the curtains in all the rooms. The patio heater on the top floor balcony has a parasol made from a cocktail umbrella. Sally made the weight bench in the family/game room using bits of wood and dowel. The weights are vehicle wheels that she purchased from a model shop and attached to a section of welding rod. She finished it off with two Lundby floor cushions. A WORK IN PROGRESS Sally finds her dollhouse project to be very therapeutic and satisfying, and her passion for it has grown over time. So have her ideas and inspiration! Her latest addition—now in progress—is a ground floor stable area.

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! Before: 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 Previous pictures: Older pictures: Living room. The throw is hand-crocheted by an Etsy artist! 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.
CLICK the pictures to see them better :) This is my Lundby Lisa house with 2 additions from another houses. I try to furnish with 1970's items, but there are some other items also... If I like them and they go with the decorations, I use them as well :) I am always willing to buy new items, so please, offer if you have spare. Kitchen Living room I wish to find balcony plants for my balcony. Bedroom Hall (dog made by my daughter) TV-room Teenage girl´s room (needs items) Childrens room (the bunk bed, table and chairs are not from the 1970´). Shelves are maybe from Jeans - does anyone know? Dublo Legos made by my daughter :) Down floor is still quite empty. I wish to find gym furniture here! Yard (sandbox made by me)

Today I´ll show you the Lundbom´s bedroom & livingroom - Enjoy! The beds are from my childhood (they belonged to the Lundbys before they had the "Blue heaven" bedroom.) All furniture, the carpet, the picture and the alarm clock are Lundby - but I think the lamps are from other companies (any information is welcome). The little perfume bottles are made by Bodo Hennig. Most of the other furniture and accessoires came with the house, accept the (unknown) kitty on the vanity (she is a fleamarket find) and the bedside table lamp, it was in my stash... I LOVE this "belling deer" paintig - so very cool and kind of retro-stylish :) The livingroom was exactly furnished this way when I bought it - It shows a big range of items Lundby showed in the 1975 catalogue some of them as "NEW", like the sofa, armchair, the white glass cabinet & table called "Salon Elegance" (# 9518) and i really adore everything! Only the little (unknown) bird cage, the phone (unknown) and the frog on the fireplace (kinder surprice egg) and the TV set (Lisa) aren´t Lundby things. And look the Lundboms have some cute litte puppies, their boxer Perdita just gave birth to two tiny boxer ladies called "Pippa" & Polly"... And the kids love them! I hope you liked the 3. part of the house tour :) ?? Yours Nicola
When I spotted this house on eBay I decided it would be a good place to house some extra furniture, and as the decor is rather plain, it would give me an opportunity to play with wallpapers without covering over anything special. Upcycled Lundby curtains with Kaffe Fassett fabric. The computer is not a Lundby. It actually belongs to a Smurf! I love this paper that I used for wallpaper. It seemed too much to use it all the way to the ceiling, though. It has a wood grain. The chairs are the new ones from Arne Jacobsen. They are smaller than the original ones. The kitchen is a Lisa of Denmark kitchen. The fridge was missing the upper door, so made one from a piece of wood. Curtains are upcycled Lundby with Kaffe Fassett fabric again. One of the reasons I bought this dollhouse was that it came with a few pieces of furniture. The Arne Jacobsen egg chair and stool were among them. They need a bit of work, but I think I can repair the scuffed areas if I find the right shade of flocking powder. No Lundby is complete without a naked man in the shower! Children's room. I have since moved the grill to the rooftop garden. The grill came with the dollhouse, but needed some work. The rooftop garden. The carpet is home-made, it's supposed to be a copy of an Ege rya rug (acrylic paint on black felt). Granny is making sure dad is doing his chores. 1:18 scale diecast cars are a bit on the small side, but they look a bit cooler than the Lundby car. If you have any questions please ask - I do remember where I got most of the things from!

Oh I wish I could afford this. This wonderful Lundby house is listed on eBay currently with lots of photos. Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Mid-Century-Swedish-Dollhouse-Doll-House-Eames-LUNDBY-/290496533259?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a2f1530b
Yesterday family Lundby took a look at their new home! The previous owner left some furnitures and a kitchen... The doll house must be from 1972-73 and the furnitures are from the same period. blogged
