These roomboxes and furniture sets were sold as Tiny Town Furniture under the slogan Toys That Teach. On the small side, this embossed wooden furniture came in colors of brown, gold, red and blue. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">While The Embossing Company was making embossed dollhouse furniture, The Durrel Company was making dollhouse furniture out of layers of cardboard glued and nailed together. Labeled TrixyToy, it had simple designs with bold color combinations in a somewhat Art Deco style. Four room sets of furniture were made to furnish the 1, 2 and 4 room cardboard dollhouses made by The Durrel Company.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">Both companies made products that were promoted for their educational value.

I will get around to making a chimney one day. I made the door....and then installed it the wrong way, that's why the door knob is on the right side. I "borrowed" two windows from the side of another small Schoenhut, because in my Dollhouse Village, having front windows is more important than having side windows!</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkyhRMnMu6u5XHATFWjJFoDfWqJSUqvL6Jy89hCKnHJeF65gSncO_Mv-6PvkJzBBWluY_5qiCbbB0zZjJSO9Wgrglbu4GmmSsrPNRnjV8AOLMajD7-qEG0K7LALdvA5rNlwoNar8fRJp9D3GFoWcJSJmU72KpfS997F1cQG4v7_gtJKPg5u5wMRwpOajc/s620/catalog%201%20-%20Copy%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="553" data-original-width="620" height="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkyhRMnMu6u5XHATFWjJFoDfWqJSUqvL6Jy89hCKnHJeF65gSncO_Mv-6PvkJzBBWluY_5qiCbbB0zZjJSO9Wgrglbu4GmmSsrPNRnjV8AOLMajD7-qEG0K7LALdvA5rNlwoNar8fRJp9D3GFoWcJSJmU72KpfS997F1cQG4v7_gtJKPg5u5wMRwpOajc/w640-h570/catalog%201%20-%20Copy%20(2).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This illustration is from a 1934 dealer's catalogue and appears in a soft cover book </span><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Dollhouses and Dollhouse Furniture </span>(Manufactured by A.

Why, all the accessories that have been available since the first dollhouse was constructed in the late 1600s. From little girls with their first dollhouses to the mature collector of fabulous homes, the multiple accessories that have been available have made their dollhouses complete. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: large;">One of the most prolific suppliers of dollhouse accessories was the company known as Grandmother Stover's.

Starting out as a cottage industry about 1943, Grandmother Stover accessories were still being produced as late as 1983. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: large;">With 294 pages in color and black and white, you will be amazed at this collection of dollhouse accessories produced by Grandmother Stover's.

This furniture was sold by Marshall Fields and in the Chestnut Hill catalog, and advertised as late as 1962 in the Mark Farmer mail order catalogs.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: large;">This book provides catalogs and advertisements which identify Grandmother Stover's products as well as over 600 examples, most in their original packaging.</span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #595959;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: large;">This is number 15 in a series of informative books produced by Patty Cooper on dollhouses, dollhouse furniture and dollhouse accessories....in my opinion the best on the market! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: large;">Grandmother Stover's Doll House Miniatures can be purchased on <a href="https://www.blurb.com/b/11373677-grandmother-stover-s-dollhouse-miniatures">Blurb</a>.com.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicV5gmiB6R2kJFANkyGoaJnk9GqkK0dWoW6fP0_6jFbg5pjFAdCosQq0wS87NQ1XqVxj4DNe44msvju19i7TF29ZwYmxuC9eiZ0Db1WT9b0Qn4QiMgEU-U-Rmx0uJbEHM_SSm75vXc796ra09AekjbLFvsHTgrr6LthEUJcDSgdxt99PQ3QzGsFz6c/s2919/IMG_20221213_0003.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2919" data-original-width="2381" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicV5gmiB6R2kJFANkyGoaJnk9GqkK0dWoW6fP0_6jFbg5pjFAdCosQq0wS87NQ1XqVxj4DNe44msvju19i7TF29ZwYmxuC9eiZ0Db1WT9b0Qn4QiMgEU-U-Rmx0uJbEHM_SSm75vXc796ra09AekjbLFvsHTgrr6LthEUJcDSgdxt99PQ3QzGsFz6c/w522-h640/IMG_20221213_0003.jpg" width="522" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Florinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05487255851413103894noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138810926159920757.post-20829627049580476112022-11-29T11:02:00.000-06:002022-11-29T11:02:00.377-06:00In search of Donna Lee dollhouses or boxed furniture sets<p> <span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: large;">A new book on dollhouse furniture is in the works....the working title is </span><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Nancy Forbes and Donna Lee Dollhouse Furniture. </span>Patty Cooper is looking for pictures of Donna Lee dollhouses or boxed sets of Donna Lee furniture. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: large;">Donna Lee dollhouse furniture was made by the Woodburn Mfg.

Made of Masonite and wood, these vintage houses are often missing chimneys, light fixtures, windows and shrubbery that were original to the house when it was new. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">JoAnn is a long-time collector of these vintage houses, and luckily for her, Don is an excellent craftsman with wood. JoAnn silk screens and makes items from resin, so between the two of them they were able to bring JoAnn's vintage dollhouses back to their original beauty. She started making small items for her friends that also collected these vintage Rich and Keystone houses, resulting in her opening this Etsy shop for other collectors of these wonderful old dollhouses. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Here are some recent orders sent to customers....</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Faced with the challenges of 1940's wartime restrictions, the companies that produced toys and games found Tekwood to be readily available and excellent for the products they made. </span><span style="font-family: "Open Sans";">De Luxe Game Corporation was one on those companies. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans";"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans";">Patty Cooper has brought us another book about vintage dollhouses and toy buildings that were popular with children from the early 1940s through the 1960s and early 1970s.

Illustrations of dollhouses furnished with the wooden and plastic furniture available during that period are included. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans";"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans";">In addition to the De Luxe Game Corporation dollhouses, a section has been added about Jayline Manufacturing Company, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the maker of fiberboard, cardboard and metal dollhouses during the 1940s and early 1950s. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans";"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans";">This book is the 14th in a series on American dollhouse companies.

“what makes a dollhouse an art deco dollhouse?" </span></span><span style="text-align: justify;">That would allow me to write about a couple of my pet peeves--"A</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> flat roof does not make an art deco house!” and also, “Art Nouveau IS not Art
Deco, despite what you read on eBay”. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;">But then I decided these “peeves”
make me sound like an old, nasty man, shuffling down the street mumbling and
grumbling to myself. I’ll have you know I am not nasty. </span></p>

dollhouse is the panacea – a dollhouse that makes sense! I did see it on eBay,
at a reasonable price, from Britain. But oh-oh – “will not ship to the United
States”. Tell me I can’t have something and of course, that’s the house that I
must own. So, I offered some outrageously high price to ship it to me and she
accepted. Did I eat baloney sandwiches for dinner the for the next two months?
Why, yes, I did.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It arrived safely and I was very
pleased with my purchase. Strangely, I can’t tell if it was manufactured or was
a very talented Dad’s handiwork. Nor can I date it for certain. It would appear
to be a transitional piece – going from the 1920s bungalow style (with the roof being the major emphasis) to the Moderne Style (windows that meet at
corners, round windows, emphasis on the horizontal). Or it could be
transitioning from the Moderne to the after-war cookie cutter houses for
soldiers coming home from the war. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

the bathroom had remnants of Fairylite fixtures -which were from the 30s. Hmmm –
still no help. They made Fairylite into the 40s. (If anyone had this exact
house – or a similar house -- please let me know. Knowing there was more than
one would push it into the manufactured category!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj71J-_s0S7wvkPc8SYH6mOTJ454paFNM7vKbtvHe0zZsAX12uLlDl8o6AVR8z3TLxogrXmtio5L9E3pmpggTB5qn1UlXlcBj6oBiMm8d26FPJnWnUVlrGxMJgdK8A-VzsU7EZZMXtA1c1_amFKSmj9h7p4pkw60vZELutYCo5ZiwxvEBiK4xtYkQei/s1600/7a%20bath%20bf.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj71J-_s0S7wvkPc8SYH6mOTJ454paFNM7vKbtvHe0zZsAX12uLlDl8o6AVR8z3TLxogrXmtio5L9E3pmpggTB5qn1UlXlcBj6oBiMm8d26FPJnWnUVlrGxMJgdK8A-VzsU7EZZMXtA1c1_amFKSmj9h7p4pkw60vZELutYCo5ZiwxvEBiK4xtYkQei/w400-h300/7a%20bath%20bf.png" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p>

looked worse than it was because a child decided to ignore the good paint job
on the interior and added a lot of decorative touches her/himself – without a
thought of straight lines. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyWZ7MdONerI7Vjb5HtxcirdYJl7clJZ3qRLmiZ956BsewyEahcCg3aC4dOznjaCJ2bMOu0h3fGUOD2KTsq4Bi82BH-ggYUfBr1-caXW_TWGCjQ957YiGi5zd9vZdFVtXuEqh10dfiYmb1bh4K-SdtH4AhgkLmvlhtkad1Wr8LO7UBRM7B_wuabGBy/s1427/6%20living%20bf.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1427" data-original-width="1188" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyWZ7MdONerI7Vjb5HtxcirdYJl7clJZ3qRLmiZ956BsewyEahcCg3aC4dOznjaCJ2bMOu0h3fGUOD2KTsq4Bi82BH-ggYUfBr1-caXW_TWGCjQ957YiGi5zd9vZdFVtXuEqh10dfiYmb1bh4K-SdtH4AhgkLmvlhtkad1Wr8LO7UBRM7B_wuabGBy/w532-h640/6%20living%20bf.png" width="532" /></a></span></div><p></p>

on, such as the picture rails, the trim around some windows, and the
trim on a wall separating it into two colors. Window “glass” was missing – or
was never used to begin with – in many of the windows. The back door was
missing. As I said, the bathroom had remnants of Fairylite fixtures, but were
not usable. It needed work – but luckily not structural.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

the unusual features. The brick circular arch in front of the entrance porch

one room) lifts off with the roof, so the dollhouse is approached from above.
This allows the dollhouse to make – wait for it -- perfect sense! There is a

every room! There are two fireplaces, and the chimneys line up to the
fireplaces properly. There is a small hallway that leads from the kitchen to
the dining room – another first in my experience. There is a staircase that
leads upstairs to the second floor. The floorplan was just what I liked!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

to do was to replace the single door to the living room and to the dining room
with French doors. I know a lot of you are cringing at this “corruption” of the
original intent of the dollhouse. Well, I understand totally. But I rationalize
by saying this was a homemade house to begin with – until I get proof to the
contrary! – and that dad would have done this had he thought of it. Well, that
makes sense to me anyway. </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 18.6667px;">I had them made to my design – horizontal windows. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;"> (And as a side note, my apartment in New York, redone
in the 1920s, has two sets of French doors too.) </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTSJ5n35QnQzMUfcQwFkafyTKmXH5zDaMIyqWUBIlS6LZpLgoV6hXC1yFW3CJW58qQoL_QBghG9H7fumT5c3prxnSmqywgx2BdBzPG9bMYA1Fa4XvFLcwOu_0auHWZoSN9MgCWssrhP-dXCyNMV3Qtj1KcJzx7DuG5P6JksTNDC37nbCE-xs0huk5r/s2348/7%20hall%20-%20Copy.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1777" data-original-width="2348" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTSJ5n35QnQzMUfcQwFkafyTKmXH5zDaMIyqWUBIlS6LZpLgoV6hXC1yFW3CJW58qQoL_QBghG9H7fumT5c3prxnSmqywgx2BdBzPG9bMYA1Fa4XvFLcwOu_0auHWZoSN9MgCWssrhP-dXCyNMV3Qtj1KcJzx7DuG5P6JksTNDC37nbCE-xs0huk5r/s320/7%20hall%20-%20Copy.png" width="320" /></a></span></div><p></p>

looked like a boarding house or an institution, with this big dark hallway with
doors spaced out on the walls with no windows except those in the front door. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I added a door to the end of the hallway between the kitchen and the dining room. The door has a round window
and required a wall over the door to blend in the adjacent wall. This was
difficult to install because the opening was narrow – so the door, with its
hinges and surrounds was a tricky proposition.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEftz13CIqA5aTDDp9IJw8YskwD2oVrhnsC-EExUfZgCYhVLsMIvQxcPFFNMz1gzvXxg5d4sGj1UACP2UACbD__twvV1DVIPB4W21dg-MY8uUygil3MhxsJ1Sm5bq3pJkKLs87TrF-mKslvPpl-Lvu9O_lIya-YDnfMJvanSIRHdx7fIPwcUqvjoqf/s3264/14%20%20dining%20detail%20door%20to.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEftz13CIqA5aTDDp9IJw8YskwD2oVrhnsC-EExUfZgCYhVLsMIvQxcPFFNMz1gzvXxg5d4sGj1UACP2UACbD__twvV1DVIPB4W21dg-MY8uUygil3MhxsJ1Sm5bq3pJkKLs87TrF-mKslvPpl-Lvu9O_lIya-YDnfMJvanSIRHdx7fIPwcUqvjoqf/w287-h215/14%20%20dining%20detail%20door%20to.png" width="287" /> </a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0leWV_mkfm3TdCeuST91mC2ONfJJs5f9FYsdbPvpAiZ-D5xaTLiZw6ALG_HFHJZmTGkQxKoF7l3tAdfz1iXwsFi8NZgN6sTaiaIRjKwsDa-zzgk_3_GFsm3GqIKuAQRU-uLB5xU0o1sNw1Tvyk87YKjg_8VP3jD2tE4kUb2WFk-GyDwoi50-FiLal/s3264/16.png" style="font-size: 14pt; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0leWV_mkfm3TdCeuST91mC2ONfJJs5f9FYsdbPvpAiZ-D5xaTLiZw6ALG_HFHJZmTGkQxKoF7l3tAdfz1iXwsFi8NZgN6sTaiaIRjKwsDa-zzgk_3_GFsm3GqIKuAQRU-uLB5xU0o1sNw1Tvyk87YKjg_8VP3jD2tE4kUb2WFk-GyDwoi50-FiLal/w159-h212/16.png" width="159" /></a></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I decided to add lighting – which
as you know, is rough for me. Luckily, everything could be done through holes I
made with a drill through the bottom of the second floor, so all the lights on
the main floor are ceiling lights. All the wires, and plugs, and what-all are
hidden behind the walls of the bedroom. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLk5NeLn4pDHyuLCfmIn8a7GQkRQaoXVCNccj0vdxFmJngcMSJRiCd3cOTFR7kAsz4b52adVjDtVS4__WcCTV8am6hXv4VPzyuecOZ-njti9dviLwKkh9Q8i2ezUQRAfyvQLUt3X3ro38El7FVgG8fF8wZo_mTmdDfvoPdAAuw8AOax-q_mihPcaCB/s3135/8%20wip%20bf%202.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2165" data-original-width="3135" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLk5NeLn4pDHyuLCfmIn8a7GQkRQaoXVCNccj0vdxFmJngcMSJRiCd3cOTFR7kAsz4b52adVjDtVS4__WcCTV8am6hXv4VPzyuecOZ-njti9dviLwKkh9Q8i2ezUQRAfyvQLUt3X3ro38El7FVgG8fF8wZo_mTmdDfvoPdAAuw8AOax-q_mihPcaCB/w296-h204/8%20wip%20bf%202.png" width="296" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT465JniuUuCmv3clwjxBJGIuVPkwNYrHRfvRXafWXXyuiDH1E_utnaGtFxmSsmcFG52s46a_ARla-53l5uwbby9IrWWzFsGM6ZtEkgL4h4z162P8B1TLLIruEY1ptRx-xTArX-zh8cUHY8eIgEM6CSkNZhbv_RUHqmj2Klp6yjaQwQO174xVLGswe/s2590/9%20%20wip%20bf.png" style="font-size: 14pt; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1832" data-original-width="2590" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT465JniuUuCmv3clwjxBJGIuVPkwNYrHRfvRXafWXXyuiDH1E_utnaGtFxmSsmcFG52s46a_ARla-53l5uwbby9IrWWzFsGM6ZtEkgL4h4z162P8B1TLLIruEY1ptRx-xTArX-zh8cUHY8eIgEM6CSkNZhbv_RUHqmj2Klp6yjaQwQO174xVLGswe/w291-h206/9%20%20wip%20bf.png" width="291" /></a></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Originally the second floor was

in shape to decorate, I started in the bathroom. I got some Fairylite and
repainted the fixtures pink. The colors I used – pink, black, and white are the
exact colors of the house I was brought up in. The colors were not my mother’s
favorite, but war shortages made tiles in other colors unavailable. So the pink
and black ruled in my house, and they rule here too. I didn’t use actual black
tile as I usually do in my restorations because the tile I use is for a 1/12
house, and this house is a 1/16 house – and let’s face it, it is easier to use
those plastic tile sheets cut to size. I salvaged what I could of the old
fixtures, got some replacements, and painted them pink too. Yikes! You’re
shuddering again at my ruining vintage furniture by “improving" it. Even I’m
shuddering at this one. Still, sigh, it looks good. </span></div></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_5ovk52LaehFH35LzAQWT7CxE2nEsmGh88tiBK3c_wpo_8bueK7ZxLaEKhzFZZvqtI3uTc63xttEtvg72P0H3ZuIi0v5BLKPifUJZTCnKygs6BsN4Bv-SbP3GM9h7J-ElaZ4cMs-CuIClwArYUu1eCrVFZjfHTM765d-qaZ8vqSOfjGHzAaf8pK1B/s3264/17%20%20bath.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_5ovk52LaehFH35LzAQWT7CxE2nEsmGh88tiBK3c_wpo_8bueK7ZxLaEKhzFZZvqtI3uTc63xttEtvg72P0H3ZuIi0v5BLKPifUJZTCnKygs6BsN4Bv-SbP3GM9h7J-ElaZ4cMs-CuIClwArYUu1eCrVFZjfHTM765d-qaZ8vqSOfjGHzAaf8pK1B/w640-h480/17%20%20bath.png" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; text-align: left;">The bathroom is a good place to
show you one of my “tricks” that I use when I fix-up a house (I’m sure I’d get
comments if I used the word “restore”.) I outline many of the features with
strips of wood, giving it a highly detailed – and if I paint them a different
color as I did on the exterior – distinctive, colorful note. So outlining
existing woodwork or brickwork with yet more woodwork is time consuming but I
feel well worth it. Do you see the black trim around the white door frame in
the bathroom? Or on the exterior, the brick topped with white wood, and then a
strip of blackwood?</span></p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">I found a shopping bag that was printed
in stripes of green in different shades – I knew I would use it in a deco house
sometime in my dollhouse world – and the living room in my “transition house”

Twiggs – a British company – manufactured in, as far as I can tell, the 1940s
and 1950s. It has its own look and is made in a 1/16 scale. It’s not as
encompassing, say, as Dol-toi (which has stationery, glassware, bedding, over
20 different fireplaces, food, etc.), but it is well-made and interesting. The
leopard rug in the living room is Dol-toi.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

house, I Googled "Art Deco Dollhouses" and this house - this
very house - appeared on the images page. It hadn't appeared there before
- and is not there now. I was...surprised. I hadn't put it there and
I knew by the previous owner's "redecorations" that it was
my house. No information, no little blurb - maybe someone took the
picture from eBay and decided to publish it. I just found - maybe
unreasonably? - the whole thing strange.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

A new resource book for the collectors of perfume containers that are often found in dollhouses is Patty Cooper's latest publication on dollhouse furniture.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">During the 1930s-40s, producers of inexpensive perfume products started packaging their perfume in containers that resembled dollhouse furniture. Some of the most often seen are the ones made or distributed by Stuart Products, Inc., of St. Paul, Minnesota....chairs and ottomans, lamps, flower cart, clocks, bed, magazine racks, dresser, what-not shelf....even a bar and a tea trolley. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">Other designers, companies and distributers included in this informative book include Robert B. Karoff, Alex and Lewis Fine, Robinson Cosmetic Company, George W. Button Company, Lander, Novell, The Antique Shoppe, Rubicon, Bo-Kay Perfume Company, and H. Fishlove & Comany. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">Which items made as perfume containers, adding just the right touch of coziness or whimsy, reside in your dollhouses? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">This book can be purchased at <a href="http://Blurb.com/b/10986803-stuart-and-karoff-perfume-novelties-for-dollhouse">Blurb.com</a> (in soft cover or instant PDF version) or from the author at Gardenmont@aol.com. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">Other books produced by Patty Cooper are listed under Resource Books and Guides in the right column of this page.</span></p>Florinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05487255851413103894noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138810926159920757.post-59306870348282435092021-12-28T14:58:00.005-06:002021-12-28T17:16:18.702-06:00A Dora Kuhn dresser lands in a charming Wolverine dollhouse....<p><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;"><i> It all started with this little Dora Kuhn dresser....</i></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiUQn5t0lK74mKaAmhUOKyM971XfEmV-UwVAC0f4wBEBeSbeiGVOyrwqMb5ae8Jn04RYyf2LAYMjZwTNWqFF5dgP0_K9btON8FXMjN0WEt0q3cCazah6saqY-fxyIw3iJZTHQ_dukXHQC54YQjg0xu2k6LRy8bXKPwf1gBDn8C6KPdcSp4pc7cOBxsW=s1987" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1987" data-original-width="1562" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiUQn5t0lK74mKaAmhUOKyM971XfEmV-UwVAC0f4wBEBeSbeiGVOyrwqMb5ae8Jn04RYyf2LAYMjZwTNWqFF5dgP0_K9btON8FXMjN0WEt0q3cCazah6saqY-fxyIw3iJZTHQ_dukXHQC54YQjg0xu2k6LRy8bXKPwf1gBDn8C6KPdcSp4pc7cOBxsW=w315-h400" width="315" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;"><i>I occasionally sell on Ebay and sometimes buyers share with me just where my little treasures have landed.

yesterday, via E-bay, and am so pleased with it! Thought you might like to see what I’ve done with it. It’s become a
sideboard in the living/dining room of the Wolverine tin litho dollhouse here.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">Though tempted by the occasional Canadian
(Eagle) and British (Mettoy) that turns up, I’ve limited my collection to just American tin litho dollhouses. I’ve about forty now, good heavens! The Lord
has provided opportunities to acquire, and room to display, and I am grateful for
each Marx, T Cohn, Wolverine, Jayline, Meritoy, Ohio, etc. tin abode.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">I’ve seen your informative blog, and am
impressed by your knowledge of not only the doll houses, but their furniture as well.
Most of my doll houses here contain a happy eclectic mixture of vintage
pieces (from thrift shops and online) and items I’ve made. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">I’ve lately grown fond of the Dora Kuhn
articles, and have outfitted one of my Wolverines as a rather “neo-peasant” house, with mostly Dora
Kuhn things. This house has rooms large
enough to allow for 1:12 or 1:10 scale furniture. Accessories are SOMEWHAT to
that scale. Some treasures I want in
them are larger, but seem to nevertheless work. I often paste magnets or magnetic
sheeting to the backs of items, and then attach to the metal walls. Works well.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhCZJ5TMGBDk7qIYMIAdYUWeQLbDYthf0Ycsejn89_EExru2s3cb0nwsg64HBtRFp3xpJgBs9digcJe8FnDa2B4dDRxU4-6iOghwdg76cSbBPgcrlo3mFHVnj8H41KWd1I489-oz0AngUUNNyZavzIGAfvQ4fyZGz5uCQ7Qn_3sloYH9o2Z3QPlZTIK=s906" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="679" data-original-width="906" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhCZJ5TMGBDk7qIYMIAdYUWeQLbDYthf0Ycsejn89_EExru2s3cb0nwsg64HBtRFp3xpJgBs9digcJe8FnDa2B4dDRxU4-6iOghwdg76cSbBPgcrlo3mFHVnj8H41KWd1I489-oz0AngUUNNyZavzIGAfvQ4fyZGz5uCQ7Qn_3sloYH9o2Z3QPlZTIK=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">I hand-built the pair of steins. I made
and sold pottery for years, and like forming this fun little stuff! Also made
the clay face on the wall, originally a pin.
Matroishka egg is a Christmas ornament. The small red Chinese dish is a gift
from friends. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">Sewed all the curtains, quilts,
bedclothes, towels, and cushions. I like the red checks, though I realize the
scale of checks here is smaller than the usual cloth
articles that come with old Dora Kuhn furniture. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Open Sans; font-size: medium;">Had two old plain wood discs, which I painted up somewhat in
that style, and ‘magnetized’ to the wall.

With access to newly digitized documents online, Patty has produced an informative and interesting book that will help collectors distinguish between the different companies that made the "intricate, filigree designs that are more like jewelry than dollhouse furniture". </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Pictures of the actual furniture are shown along with original advertisements published during the same period the furniture was manufactured. Four main manufacturers with similar products are showcased....Peter F. Pia, Adrian Cooke and his "Fairy Furniture", the firm of <span style="font-size: medium;">Jacob Goetz's Sons, and the manufacturing entrepreneur </span>E.W. Blatchford & Company. A comprehensive history of each company is detailed....and dollhouse furniture wasn't the only product produced before or after the period 1890-1920.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">Some examples from the book include this 'Columbus Furniture' by the Pia firm, first exhibited at the The World's Columbus Exposition held in Chicago in 1893.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;
