Our Lundby Dolls House

We bought Dixie this Lundby Dolls House for her 2nd birthday last year - well, it was for all of us really! I wallpapered it at the time with some mini versions of the wallpapers that we sell, but that was about it - I ran out of time to create all the miniatures I had wanted to. The kids played with it a bit but not as much as I'd hoped. I recently decided to spend a couple of days cracking on with it and making all of the miniatures that I'd been meaning to... And this is the result! 

 

I made a mini version of the kids house bed (which you can see in full here) using foam board from a craft shop. 

The miniature bedding blanks were made for me by a WAHM (I cannot sew... at all) and my sister and I painted the patterns on with fabric paint and a very tiny paintbrush! 

The lovely Coral from Velveteen Babies (one of our brands) sent us the super cute cloud mobile. 

We just had to include some of our letter banners! I used a Sharpie to colour some small alphabet stickers from the art shop, then drew lines between them to create the banner effect. 

The living room furniture was from a job lot I found on eBay, painted with acrylic art paint. 

The kitchen chairs are from this Lundby set, and my sister/colleague Sam painted them with acrylic art paint. The little buckets and mini hoover were from Four Little Walls who I found via Instagram. 

We used full size Ferm Living Half Moon wallpaper on the roof. 

The kids and their friend Batman (AKA Hana) love playing with it! 

For now it will live in the play room and be inhabited by Sonny Angels and Sylvanian Families! 

Thanks to Andy from ARH Photography for the photos.

I love the doll house and the great attention to detail! What a hip doll house! Great job!
What kind of dolls are those? They are very cute. I have not seen those before. Are they vintage?

Hi, I love what you did to the dollhouse. I was just searching and was going to buy a lundby doll house. Did you wallpaper over the wallpaper that is in the dollhouse? Also did you paint the outside? Thanks. So hard to find a modern simple dollhouse.

Wow your dolls house is amazing! We’ve just bought one for my little girl, it’s a bit of a wreck at the moment. I’d love some of those fantastic wallpapers do you still sell them? Thanks in advance.
