Decorating Challenge

One house. Two Families. Who does it better.
A room by room comparison.
(My apologies for some repeated pictures)

Caco family kitchen. I haven't set up the kitchen for the Biggar-Flags yet, but as I imagine them living in the early 1960s I think it might be very much the same as this one.


The bathroom will also be the same for both houses unless I can locate some nicely coloured blue or pink sets, so typical of the 60s.

Yes, I have the same salt and pepper shaker washer and dryer as Florine in her post A New Home for the Ainsleys.  I like her bathroom fixtures much better than my newer ones. In fact Florine's look like the ones that were featured in the FAO Schwarz catalogue with the house. I believe all her furniture is original to the house.

Dol-Toi Furniture?











The furniture in these pictures came with my new (old) Lundby house. I have been able to identify most of it as Doi-toi from seaching the net and looking at eBay past auctions. I think it is original to the house and purchased around the same time - 1969.



Let me know if I am wrong.

I know that some of you will be able to help identify the rest - like the dining room table and chairs and the bunk beds and rocking chair. Maybe they are Dol-Toi too. The construction seems a little coarser to me.

The pink bathroom set is hard plastic and the toilet seems to be marked 'England" The other sink is off white and was just too cute not to include. The taps are different from the pink one, so I don't think it's from the same manufacturer.

I thought this furniture might be cute in a late '60s Rich or Keystone house (if I ever get one). Suggestions for its use are appreciated.

I'm looking forward to your feedback.
