Yes, that's the same one you know from the Etsy SueNPhoenixShoppe. Sue is known for lovely dolls, the dresses she makes for them, vintage and antique dollhouse furniture and her own special creations like this adorable antique German half doll on a vintage basket....
Sue's lovely antique shelf
that she has decorated more than once.
"Penny furniture" (tiny metal dollhouse items made
of tin or cast metal and originally sold
as affordable "penny toys," popular in
the late 19th/early 20th century, made in USA and France).
A colonnaded roombox filled with a German bedroom set.
Looks like someone has moved out of this roombox
....and left their pictures.
This is a sweet and colorful roombox of cardboard.
This is the same antique shelf as seen above,
with the entire shelf compartment serving as a roombox.
A turn of the century room with elaborately carved sofa.
A cozy Early American scene....
an elderly matron being served by her maid.
I would not be surprised to find
that Sue made the quilt in the background.
Waiting for a man that's late again?
Room with a view....and puppies!
This roombox is housed in a lovely Mantel clock.
Shall we peek inside?
A lovely lady getting ready to go to the ball!
How lucky she is to have electric lighting.
Here are several vignettes created by Sue.
This looks to be a vintage doll case/trunk.
Do you see the kitty sleeping in his hidey-hole?
A lovely outdoor scene on a hill,
overlooking a 4th of July celebration.
An early American cupboard....
Sue created several "inside-outside" roomboxes....
Hmmn....Two Sisters' Thai Food....sounds "delish"!
Life's a Beach, assuming a beach is nearby.
A bar with a view....and puppies!
Doesn't look like they lost their blues, however....
Can you smell the aroma of baking cookies and cake?
This is a Punch Studio box that held two bars of soap.
Sue turned it on end and created a small two story house
with a deck large enough to hold a patio set.
Just for fun, she added fabric to the lid
to give the small house a fancy roof!
Here is a roombox that Sue created in a
1941 Western Auto Truetone table top radio.
This is what she started with.
She refinished the outside and
gave it a lovely windowbox of floweers.
She added wallpaper, a corner cabinet, curtains for the window, a wall of family photos and a mirror that was usually found in the living rooms of houses in the 1940s.
(Yes, I am old enough to remember that!)
Typical of the homes in 1940, Sue added a comfy sofa and carpet in front of the fireplace.
In the corner by the radio, we find the owners listening to a Fireside Chat from U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt on December 29, 1940. "Arsenal of Democracy" was the central phrase he used on the threat to national security....nearly a year before the
United States entered the Second World War.
This is one of my favorite roomboxes Sue has created.
I love this poster Sue made showcasing
where the furniture in the roombox originated
....USSR occupied Germany.
A unique roombox with an Asian theme.
Dorothy made it home!
A bedroom in shades of blue and yellow....
and another in shades of yellow and orange.
Is this a tea social before the turn of the 20th century?
I wonder how many times the lady of the house
has rearranged this furniture?
Two retired gentlemen in a room designed for comfort.
Sue has designed a cozy American frontier room that doubles as a kitchen and living area.
Could this be a little Dutch kitchen?
Someone has been out with her young son
picking wild flowers. Doesn't she look lovely
in her blue and white kitchen?
These pups are hoping Mom is preparing their dinner!
Have the family moved out....
and left veggies in the sink?
Is this a German, Dutch, Swiss or French kitchen?
Sue, please explain how this fox got inside!!
The soft and pleasing colors of a Dora Kuhn kitchen....
and another Dora Kuhn kitchen that "pops" with red!
Just who is the jokester under the table, Sue?
Roomboxes with two rooms are also in Sue's collection.
Same roombox, same bedroom furniture but with
different accessories, and a new look in the kitchen.
A bedroom and a kitchen....and a pup who is checking
to see if he has time to grab food off of the table.
I love the little Dutch boy and girl on the buffet.
A visit with Mom in her new apartment.
In a larger roombox, Sue has used a room divider
to separate the dining room from the living area.
The modern furniture goes well
with the modern design of this roombox.
Single roombox with windows....
....decorated nicely in shades of brown and beige.
This is a rather unique roombox
with one room a few steps up from the other....
filled with a cozy living area and dining room.
A turn of the century living room with rare
upholstered Star Novelty furniture circa 1910.
Yes, there is a pup in this room.
Same roombox with different turn of the century furniture.
Lovely background to showcase this beautiful
dark-stained turn of the century German furniture.
And we end with the same roombox
filled with a lovely carpet,
turn of the century American furniture
and two well loved pups!
Sue didn't create all these roomboxes without help.
Meet Sophie and ?
They told Sue "There must be puppies!"
