A homemade dollhouse

The third doll house which I picked up this summer is a home made house with lots of charm. It is a gift from my friend Lotta in Malmö who got it as a child. I don't know so much about its history more than that Lotta got it in the 70s.


The scale of the house is bigger than the Lundby houses. It is in rather good shape with not so many damages on the wall papers expect the water damage in the biggest room on ground floor. Its tricky to date it but I have found some electric wiring work which I think is from the 70s and not from the beginning, because I think the house itself is older. I also think that the little blue room on top floor is a later construction, maybe also from the 70s. The rest of the wall papers I think is older than the 70s. They could be  from the 60s or even the 50s. I like the house very much anyway and I am going to furnish it with things from mainly the 50s and which are in a larger scale than that of Lundby. 


The left room on upper floor has a cute and a little childish wall paper. In the right corner you can see a electric wire from the 70s.  All floors in the house, expect the little blue room have had wall-to-wall carpet. Probably also from the 70s. But I am going to keep the wooden floors. 


On the right side on the upper floor there are two rooms, where I think the little blue one is a later construction. The little blue room has also its floor painted red. I think it has been used as a bathroom. The rest of the walls has the same cute wall papers as the left room, previously described. 


The left room on ground floor has also cute wall papers and between the two rooms on this floor is is a door. By the way the only door in the house. The door seems to have been cut in the bottom end and that is probably done when the house got the wall-to-wall carpets. Otherwise the door could not open. This room has also a window with window glass (plastic material). 


The fifth and last room in the house is the biggest one and has unfortunately a water damage on the back wall. Otherwise it has a rather cute wall paper with little flowers. The curtain is made of typical fabric from the 70s and need to be fixed. This room has also a window.
