What a great find. I have an empty 70’s Lundby. Only the top 2 floors. To get the house and furniture you got would be over $1000.00. I believe it’s all original Lundby. Love it. Great find hun. ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful Houses, I can relate, I have 11 also in different spaces like you described you have, it becomes addictive, such a great hobby. I love that your large one is so lightweight and two at the same time, amazing! Love the fireplace. The TV is super cute! That kitchen set is adorable~! You are so lucky to have all those wonderful minis, love the carriage. The horsey too is another favorite for me. Wow that person who owned all that, was a real Miniaturist.
They normally make the basements as the kitchen. I would use the upper section as living spaces. I think it’s a beautifully made home. I wish I could find such a lovely house. Well a great Christmas gift for you. Have a blessed holiday 💕💕💕🎄🎄🎄🎄✨✨✨✨
Fabulous collection. I think the square item with a square hole could be a chimney perhaps? The greenhouse may be an atrium roof possibly? Thanks for sharing😊
Great ideas! Thankyou! ❤️🏡❤️🏡 I've since discovered that the square item is indeed the chimney, and the atrium roof idea is brilliant, I'll have a play and see how it looks...
Hi Alison, what an absolutely stunning dollhouse. Much bigger than I thought it was. I need to move to your village how wonderful being able to pick up such beautiful houses . You love lighting so you must be so chuffed. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing dolls house and look forward to seeing how you renovate it. Merry Christmas to you all xx🎉🎉🎉
So envious! A childhood friend of mine had a 5 story Lundby with all the furniture. I so wanted that house! I think I liked the doll's house more than I liked her! Yes, the t.v. did light up!
@@CraftyMoore Yes!!! So fun! Your double bed is just part of a set of furniture! There's a wardrobe, 2 night stands and I believe a dresser. She had it all! I still wonder if she has it. She had vehicles, horses, a yard & every.single.teeny.tiny.accessory! She had a fish tank that lit up! The fireplace is so cool with the lights. She had the Lundby Christmas tree! Lol! She's the only daughter & both parents came from large families. I assume that between Christmas & birthday gifts, that's how she amassed so many items. So jelly of her, even now! I hope she has it in storage, on display or gave it to a daughter! I still dream about that house.
@@CraftyMoore indeed! I can't recall anyone else that had Lundby. Look up: Linda Hansen, here on RU-vid. She has 5 or 6 videos showing her retro Lundby dollhouses & furniture. You'll recognize some of your pieces! I'm going to live vicariously thru you as you clean, restore & decorate your Lundby!!!
That is a amazing house .I love Lundy as am a child of the 70's so it's all so familiar to me . I don't think that is a greenhouse but possibly a cold frame ? . Looking forward to seeing you renovate this wonderful house ,looks like a big project, but if anyone can do it you can ☺
All the electric connected att the back with battery, no plugin. Now we use led lamps instead with a small lith batt and on/off for every ithem. Above the windows wasa little hook at each side for the curtens.
The red "chair" is actually a bedside table 😀 the yellow lamp was common in the kitchen,the fabriclamps are mostly for bedroom or tv room. The square lamp was common in the hallways . lovely to watch the video so fun that lundby has reached other countries than here in Sweden😀
@@CraftyMoore the houses are nice i have two of them,one from 70s and 1 from the 90s.sadly the furnitures have always been expensive in that scale 1:18 so i will try to do my own for one of the houses.
@scrappingmummo5977 Great idea! Yes, you can pick up the houses relatively cheaply (or at least you can in the UK) but the furniture is soooo expensive in comparison.
I have the same dollhouse, but without the fronts. I’m so jealous you have those. I can confirm that one square item is the chimney. It won’t let me post the picture of the one I have. Love your videos!
Hi just searched Lundby and you came up just bought myself the new modern one from Amazon. I used to have a Caroline house which was electric so recognise the fittings so wonder if it was made by Lundby. I recognise the fridge, kitchen table, the shower, corner unit, pink sofa, fish tank, baby in the cot and the angry baby. Going to look forward to watching you restore this as I build mine
How lovely, your childhood dollshouse sounds wonderful! I hadn't seen Lundby Houses until I was given this one and they're such beautiful houses! Good luck with your new house, if you fancy sharing pics of it, feel free to join my discord 🏡❤️
I have three of these. Two house of which do not have the base. Two very water damaged, so will need re wiring. A lot of windows broken or lost. My question to you, when you restore it, are you trying to keep with the original design, or revamp it?
To be honest, I haven't decided yet. I was going to completely strip out the electrics and rewire, but a lady only yesterday mentioned that Lundby have kept their design the same all these years and you can use old lamps etc in new houses and vice versa, so I'll probably just repair that rather than replace. But the wall paper is in a pretty bad state, so it's going to need to be repapered throughout, but whether I replace with similar or go with something completely different, I haven't yet decided... What about you, are you redesigning or keeping the original? 🤔😃❤️🏡
The fireplace, the tv, the lamps, the bathroom set, the yellow bed, the brown dining room table and chairs, the brown sideboard, the kitchen sink with wooden doors, the white double bed, the greenhouse, the little white stool, the dogs, the plate rack, the jelly molds, Dad, Mom, boy and girls dolls, (not the grandparents or the rider) the white bookcase, and the settees are Lundby.
@CraftyMoore if the electricity works, check if you have a cord with plugs in both ends. It's to connect the basement to the main house. You can plug in the cords in any of holes in the back, if the wires still are OK. There probably is a power switch in the staircase upstairs to turn the power on and off.
Ah thankyou, yes there is a switch, I just assumed it was a fake light switch not that it switched everything on and off, that's a rather a nice design. Unfortunately a lot of the wires have corroded and are damaged so I think it's going to have to be rewired, but that's really interesting about how it all works and how the basement connects to the house. Thanks! ❤️
@CraftyMoore The fun thing about Lundby is that they've been around for so long. They are still making dollhouses and furniture. And lamps from the 60's work in a house from the 90's and vice-versa. There's a strong secondhand market for furniture.
You should be able to get things for the house,it was a well known brand ,so any pieces missing you will probably be able to replace,with luck and patience.you got those wine glasses wrong ..They are ice cream sundae glasses..You have to have them huge because as you get to the end of,you that you was just enjoying it and it’s gone so you have to have huge glasses.Dolls come to life at night and eat it all up lol!.This is going to be lovely refurbished 🥰
In the 70 and 80 it was common with what we called gillestuga. A room with tv, sofa, for the family on weekdays but also a place for parties. Now we usually use it for storage, perhaps playroom for children, tabletennis. Nowadays in flats we nearly always have the kitchen and room in one open space. We often cook together with guests, men often like to show their cookingart (ha) and thats very good! When I met my ex husband I woke up the first morning to newbaked bread. Have a nice weekend!
It "barn door " is garage doors. And the toilet is usally the bottom bedrom to the rigth And that not wierd plastic lamp is a famous lamp from that time The red little table is a bedtable
Actually, all pictures from Lundby of this modell of dollhouse have the bathroom in the room without a door in the upstairs hallway. It really annoyed me as a child. My dolls wanted privacy!
That was fun! The round table set goes in the kitchen and the low table is a coffee table for the lounge. The stove unit fits next to the shelf unit, look at the top cabinets they are designed to accommodate a tall unit so not the fridge or washer. In the 70s the washing machines also had tumble dryers built in so that’s what you have there. Look forward to your next installment xx
Oh this brings back memories 😊,I had this dolls house many year ago but I regretfully sold it as I had to move house and didn't have room..Should've made room😢so lucky to have it🎉❤
