Thank you for taking us room by room and then listing each piece and who made them. That is valuable information to us who collect and just starting out. Looking forward to your next post as they are always a treat.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01319161725907608185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138810926159920757.post-22567142577973280922022-09-28T15:55:32.449-05:002022-09-28T15:55:32.449-05:00Karen, I have had a few houses like that!

I hope i remember that idea when I start fresh on another house. My house has wooden stairs, but I am currently working on a 1936 Rich Tudor with the metal stairs.. My house came from OUR friend JoAnn B.! She had already refurbished it by painting the floor a soft brown that is seen in a lot of Rich houses, and the walls a soft yellow. So really all I had to do was add a few more items. I would love to see pics of your house, even tell your story here on my blog if you wish. Contact me at florinebettge@comcast.net if you are interested in sharing this new house you love with my readers.

Of course I tend to over decorate but can't stop myself on some of these houses. That's part of the fun of collecting them!

She was in terrible shape. Leaning, one wall corner had been put together wrong. The bottom floor was not level and bowed down. I got it home and put it in the garage. I decided to take the entire house apart, which I did. Started at the bottom by strengthening the whole floor. It will never sag again. I took out every window. They had paint spatters on them (inside the house) and someone had put fat pieces of white tape across them out onto the walls. It all had to go. My friend JoAnn B. made me all new windows, a new front door, and andirons for the fireplace. I then laid all the walls out and did a different paint job in each room. Finally it was time to put it all back together. I was stymied by the two chimineys and two fire places. So I put a fireplace on each end I see yours is one down and one up stairs. Well, we have one in the kitchen, so cozy. One question. Is your staircase metal or wood? Mine is metal and I read in the Rich Book that this was not done anymore with the advent of WWII coming on. Metal was needed for the war effort.I did not do any painting on the ourside. It was in much better shape. But I did paint the roof green. I am so happy with the outcome and just love this house. I've been slowly getting some Strombecker furniture for it. It's a work in progress.
