Christian Hacker doll house Library

                                   Lets start in the Library
Globe is an old pencil sharpener, "tobacco" rug. White rug is a                                
                                   vintage plastic doilie.


Antique Gothic style Boulle settee and chair.

         Antique Gottschalk desk as a bar tray, I like to take pictures of my other dollhouse dolls for Ancestor portraits for the walls of my dollhouses. Sometimes you can see a family portrait handed down in the MH1.

                           Plus an antique German landscape.


I like to add dolls after photographing the room or sometimes you do not see the furniture.
Chauffeur Doll from ebay, he needs gloves, Grandfather doll, Kestner from Ruby Lane, actually not sure where Father doll came from. His clothing looks glued so that would make him more recent.
An interloper...



A little hole in the wallpaper. I wish this old house could tell me about it's journey from Germany to San Francisco!
"Really," Father says, "I don't mind living in Tynietoy and Christian Hackers' at all. Cheers!" CM

My Realitty said...

Yes, I bought it in Sab Francisco and the exterior had been "tarted up" so I am going to refinish the front. C

I love the blue wallpaper too. The blue upholstered Boulle pieces look fantastic in this room. And now I am craving a cocktail. LOL

You must research the stories of both house and the interloper, or we could make it which is more fun. Let's see, the interloper was really a deckhand on the ship bringing the house to America.....
Love the library, very beautiful!
