rodentraiser Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Can't remember if I posted this one or not: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-S-W-Crafts-Dollhouse-Kit-Victorian-Stucco-Cottage-860-RARE/332992516692?hash=item4d87e69254:g:SxwAAOSwXHxcLQTc:rk:165:pf:0 Want a red marble bathroom set?

I found this simple Reutter porcelain bathroom set on eBay for only $50. Most of them go for almost twice that: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Reutter-Porcelain-Dollhouse-Miniature-White-Toilet-Tub-Sink-Set-W-Original-Box/223278025934?hash=item33fc684cce:g:SpIAAOSw-iZcBAu3:rk:9:pf:0 There's also a bunch in half scale, too. I didn't even know Reutter made half scale bathrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you clear out a few things. Does the guy on the second floor look correct and authentic, lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I think whoever used the polka dot wallpaper in the bedroom ought to have tried a wee bit harder not to have mismatches. I ran out of fingers to list all the oopsies I found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stairway rug is amusing...someone is going to trip! It's almost a great "I Spy" puzzle. If they had said "lovingly collected items in hand built kit house" for $300, I'd be quite forgiving and even enthusiastic. But "correct and authentic" for $3400 gets you The Treatment over here. lol. This authentic colonial house is PINK, people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Not only that, but did you note the "authentic" 1996 Christmas plate floating nest to the rooster plate? I'm glad I wear incontinence skivvies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe things are different in Williamsburgh colonials than with WIlliamsburg colonials? The backstory explains it...maybe not intentionally. That two sisters hired "me to restore the house back to it's original state". That is some bold backstorying. I wonder how the sisters handled the 1996 plate in full view. But I do credit this with providing great mini-entertainment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 The sideways wallpaper changes direction on the other side of the window. I have never seen a RL lighthouse with clapboard siding (I guess I live in the wrong part of the country), but those corners are sure a mess! And that poor little girl in the bathing suit; did a shark bite off her right arm at the shoulder? I don't think I'd give them $4999USD for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the description: "THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T SEE." (and yet I am indeed seeing it) "I am a former Interior designer and I went to a lot of trouble and time to make sure that this lighthouse is accurate in detail and furnishings. " OK, so what is going on in the Lighthouse keeper's bedroom that is accurate to...?! That cat is good tho. I liked the parrot too...but come on...for $5000 I'm going to scrutinze every room. For $99 I'd be enthusiastic and thrilled to get the cat, parrot and a few other things. Marble floor in the bedroom...of the lighthouse...interesting.

It wouldn't last. I have seen lighthouse keepers cottages with clapboard - that makes more sense. CORRECTION: I looked up my favorite light house - Yaquina Bay - and it has...CLAPBOARD. So I stand corrected. This particular lighthouse is incorporated into the house - so it is a little different. And Marvelous. Wish there was a 1:48 version of it. Rooms are gorgeous early 1800s simplicity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
