The Patio, continuing around the Hexagon House

This house is fun to play with as it is so iconic. Love the graphics of the stone wall.

This is a little more traditional.

Mid-century Modern Design: with Dol-toi

 This is the bedroom in the Eagle Hexagon Mini House. It is a coral shade of pink and sunny yellow.

Notice the abstract art on the

wall.

                                              Notice the crossover curtains.

This Dol toi furniture is from England. I especially love the old quilt that came with the bed. There is a Flickr group devoted just to Dol-toi if you wish to see more.

 They are easiest to find on ebay UK. I love the lines and the wood they are made from. C

Mid century bathroom tile

Notice the Mid century modern abstract tile pattern in the bathroom.

Notice the Lovely shag rug...

I would  never have the guts to put 3 different tile patterns in one bathroom, but it works.

The Eagle Hexagon Dollhouse

This the view of the top of the 1950 Hexagon Dollhouse by the Eagle Toy Company of Montreal, Canada.

This is the side view. The house has 6 sides and a central court. The top and floor are made of fiberboard, the walls are steel.

  Each room is different. This view is of the solarium or patio.

This is the view from the bottom. Notice the skylights. There are 4 plastic encased wheels. One can turn the house to reveal a new room. I called it "the spinning dollhouse", but really it does not move very fast.

It was made in the 1950's and is covered in Jennifer McKendry's History of dollhouses. http://www.mckendry.net/DOLLHOUSES/1950s.htm

She points out that it is more influenced by Mies van der Rohe, than the organic style of Frank Lloyd Wright, though it has a central hearth that was an important idea of Wright's work.

Her example has a plastic cover over the hole made from a salad container. Mine is missing. My friend Rebecca has one too and SHE has the real top! Truly she is a Doyenne of Dollhouses!

I have seen another version with less graphics and black and white checkerboard floors. I think it is a later model.

This is an introduction to February's house. It is inhabited by Grecon dolls. More to follow, Happy Valentines Day! CM

Sneaking ahead

Oh just sneaking into February and the Eagle Hexagon House. I had it set up and we were having fun playing with it and this just happened.

(Spot On couch and TV)

 There is that shelving again.

A little 50's channeling.

But here is the point... WHO put that boy on the stove and why did I only notice 24 hours later!!!!! C
