Woo Hoo!! I finally found a vintage Lundby house. I have always waned one.
(Note: the pictures here have mid-century hard plastic furniture instead of the lovely original Lundby pieces that came with the house. Everything needed a good cleaning, but I had some fun re-decorating and taking pictures before I did that. I will do a later post with the real furniture.)
Of course that started the conversation and the following Sunday I arrived at his table to find this wonderful 1969/1970 version of the famous Lundby house complete with original furniture and seven working lights (as I mention above - those pictures are to come once I scrub a few decades of dust off everything.).
I am now the proud owner of this little piece of dollhouse history. It needs a little TLC, but I think it is gorgeous! Enjoy the pictures. The furniture is Marx, Reliable, Renwal, Kleeware, Ideal, etc. and I think it looks great in this house.
Congratulations, that is a very nice Lundby house, love the wallpapers. And the furniture looks very nice in the house. I noticed that your white kitchen table is the same Helmer used when he baked for Christmas :-) Do you know which of the companies you mentioned that made it?

Another house...what are you like lol.
ReplyDeleteI had a lundby when I was a kid and remember saving up for bits of furniture. Have fun :-)
OH! Congrats! It looks great!!!!!What fun. CM
ReplyDeleteGood for you! What a great house!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful find...I have always loved the soft blues in this vintage Lundby. And the mid-century plastic furniture looks great in it....or just maybe it's the decorator! Can't wait to see it with the original furniture. Flo
ReplyDeleteI love the furniture very much. I have seen the most pieces, but never a complete furnished house with them. so lovely. I must say I love it more than the vintage lundby-items.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
I am so happy for you. I believe that if you found this then I will find a good older one too when the time is right. I will be nice and chatty. Good things come to good people. You sure got a good thing! What a great house. I just love everything about it. Lundby only made toys for kids. They never knew back then how many adults would be kids again with their toys. What a JOY!
ReplyDeleteHelene, I am not sure who made the kitchen table, but I think it might be Renwal. I will have a look and see if it is marked. Does anyone else know how made this table?

Thanks everyone! I think this furniture looks fantastic in this house. If I every find an unfurnished Lundby I know I can use it. This is the kind of furniture I had as a kid. I was too old for dollhouses when Lundby started to sell these in North America, Luckily I have become young enough for dollhouses again.

Oese, I agree with you. I think I like this furniture better too. It looks great But I also like the idea of having the original furniture for the house. It cleaned up very nicely, so I will redecorate the house and do a photo shoot soon and post it - in a week or so.
ReplyDeleteAmy, you are so sweet. Of course you will find an older Lundby for your collection. Just keep wishing and keep looking. The funny thing is I tried to buy several Lundby houses before this one presented itself, but something always went wrong.
ReplyDeleteEither I was just too late and someone got to the house first, or the house was too far away for me to get to (happens a lot on Craigslist), or the price was too high. Now I know why those houses didn't work out. Because I was supposed to have this one.
I have a little philosophy that I believe in. Eventually one will get everything one asks for if one keeps her eyes open and her Karma good.
I believe that you will be doing a post in your newly acquired Vintage Lunby before too long.
Hugs,
Susan
congratulations, your dream come true! the house is fantastic... regards
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely house - great wallpaper, and this furniture does look great in it! I look forward to seeing the Lundby furniture too :-)
ReplyDeleteThank-You, Thank-You, Thank-You. As you can see I keep coming back and looking at the photos. AAAaaahhh... Just love what you wrote above. My eyes have been open and my karma is good. Happy Christmas!
