Brio Alphyddan

I was not going to buy any more dollhouses now! And certainly not a "Lundby scale" one.. (since I have a few unfurnished, and packed away) But then.. There was this girl in my home town, selling a Brio house, for a good price. And I was looking for this house like 10 years ago, but I gave up, either I couldn't find it, or when I did, it was too expensive or too far away. And all a sudden this just turned up, the girl even drove the house to my doorstep, all I had to do was get out, pay and carry it inside =) (great since I was still coughing and really tired at the time, but now I feel better)

It has the original wallpapers, and I will not change it. It has some marks of time on it, but still, it looks really good. I think it is from 1963 or something like that.
I have found 2 blogposts about Brio Alphyddan here: 
A little different wallpapers: http://miniatyrsaker.blogspot.se/2014/02/brio-alphyddan.html
Looks like mine, but one wallpaper is different: http://minadockskap.blogspot.se/2013/07/alphyddan.html
I hope to furnish this house with furniture from the 60's and maybe some Brio original furniture too (they are wonderful!! But quite expensive..)
For now I actually let my daughter play careful with it. With a few old furniture and dolls I found in my drawers. I have to find a place for this house, we are getting out of space here, but my husband thought the house was nice too, so he "let" me buy it =) Even do we are crowded..

I think the ground have faded in colour, but I don't know how it would look originally.. But I was thinking more green?!

I'll use this as a bedroom, Love the wallpaper.


Livingroom, with two different wallpapers, I love those too =)

And the stairs, that's my favourite thing with the house =)
There is a bathroom under the stairs. Unfortunately it's glued to the walls, I haven't decided whether I should remove them or not, it's Lundby furniture. And they are a bit broken, but kinda suits the house, I'll see what I do.
Broken toilet.

I did remove a curtain in this window, it fell down on one side all the time, and the pin used to attach it to the wall was very rusty. A few bad marks on this wall, but still OK looking..

The name EVA is written on the side, I thought of removing it, but it's nice to see that it has been used and probably loved once before =)

A careful girl exited to look at Mommy's new house =)

Take care
