I cheated by using some Tootsie Toy room settings I already had. They were in much condition. <br /><br />I believe the inside walls are original. They are the same kind of wood as the outer walls and the paint it the same. I need to clean them up though. They are still quite dirty.<br /><br />You will see the house's Tootsie Toy furniture in the nanny's attic room when I do that post. The nanny must be a bit of a tyrant despite her sweet face. She has her own bathroom up there.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />SusanShalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12152225087778289655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6134234226568094114.post-51900095698837060732010-09-07T12:35:00.294-04:002010-09-07T12:35:00.294-04:00Thanks everyone;

I am undecided at the moment about repairing the windows or leaving them as is.I really can't see anyway to repair them unless other windows turn up without a house. <br /><br />The windows and shutters are all one piece and are pressed cardboard with the shutters shaped on a mold. They kind of remind me of egg cartons.<br /><br />I love the house as is, so I am not too worried about it. I will do a cosmetic repair on the missing sidelight for the front door, but nothing that will damage the original.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />SusanShalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12152225087778289655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6134234226568094114.post-59092008977619387122010-09-07T10:54:22.419-04:002010-09-07T10:54:22.419-04:00I'm so glad all these wonderful houses are fin...I'm so glad all these wonderful houses are finding a home with you! This one is lovely - how nice that it came with the original furnishings, and that the periods it was played with match your and your mother's childhoods! I love knowing that a house was loved, and seeing how the children who had it furnished it.<br />I'm intrigued by the inside partitions - looking at the downstairs one from the kitchen, it looks a little clumsily made, and fits a bit awkwardly around the architrave of the front door. I don't know anything about Schoenhut dolls houses - do you think the partitions are original? Maybe they just put less work into the inside than the exterior.<br />(I'm also intrigued that the furniture seems to have changed colour overnight! I guess you decided that a colour other than cream would look better against the cream-coloured walls.)<br />Congratulations, and happy birthday!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6134234226568094114.post-12650821989399677852010-09-06T13:37:55.700-04:002010-09-06T13:37:55.700-04:00LOve it!

For replacing the windows, I have not seen many on eBay, but you could always check there for replacement parts. Or you can get them re-fabricated (I did this for my VERO house front doors with Elisabeth Le Pla of ELF Miniatures). Other than replacing the windows, I don't think you have much to do other than enjoy it!! I hope the house was a steal, too ;)callsmallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075466362820258016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6134234226568094114.post-44601971020668649052010-09-06T06:47:07.083-04:002010-09-06T06:47:07.083-04:00I love findings like this one, are you going to sp...I love findings like this one, are you going to spruce it up or keep it as it is? I like the idea of keeping my first dolls house, right until my future daughter, or perhaps son, is old enough to look after so that she/he can re-decorate as they wish. <br /><br />It's a lovely house though, shame about the living room windows - I'm no help with finding replacements, but I'll keep my eyes peeled for you. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10232398904799054946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6134234226568094114.post-73687873756573711352010-09-06T00:15:33.012-04:002010-09-06T00:15:33.012-04:00Så fina hus och så fina möbler!
