Tomy Smaller Homes Bath

Look at th detail of this bathroom set! I especially love the 70's tile!
The lights around the mirror are so of that era! The long and low toilet is SUCH an improvement over the Marx plastic toilet.

Look at that groovey towel!

I used the Tomy toilet in this scene from my MH1. When I got this incredible pink Elf sink I needed a modern toilet and this was the best one I had. Love the realistic toilet paper. I have since painted it white with uh... Whiteout... C

Tomy Smaller Homes furniture: Living room

I LOVE this furniture!

Not only because it is ORANGE but because it is so finely detailed.

With plastic you can do that. How many people had pleated lamp shades? Uh huh. If you knocked them over they cracked... Notice the can of TAB.

                                             Nice speakers for the stereo.

Check out the living room suite and the rug.

P.S. the contest is still on for the phantom chair. :) C

Tomy Smaller Homes: The American Dream

The reason I love the Tomy Smaller Homes and Gardens accessories is because they are SO DATED. The are frozen in the time of my late childhood. Probably their style was my first understanding of interior decoration.

For more information go to these two informative web sites:

These websites give a good history of the dollhouse. See also the flickr picture for Tomy Smaller Homes.

Oh PS. Did I make it clear the giveaway was for one Phantom Chair?  C
