Details of the Christian Hacker house

These silouettes came with this house. If you can identify them, please let me know what they are. I love this blue wallpaper.

I noticed the bottom door had wallpaper on it's outside hinge

and the door itself has a diamond pattern on the stripped wood. I think that as the pattern matches the wallpaper, at one time it covered the back of this front wall door. The white strips of wood seem added recently to strengthen the structure. CM

Pinchofpepper makes a tension lamp

Look at this incredible lamp. (I am taking a small detour from the Christian Hacker house to show you this) it was made by Pinchofpepper. You may be familiar with her work on Flickr.

I had one

just like

it in

college.

It is very heavy made from real metal.

Thank you Pinchof-

pepper it is awesome!

"I get by with a little help from my friends"

Pinch says,"The angle poise lamp is is made up of 2mm and 3mm brass box section tubing held together with piano wire pins. The base is a selection of washers. The lamp shade is the plastic cap which covers the springs on a 6v lantern battery and the teeny springs are fuse wire wound around a thin rod. Then the whole thing was sprayed with radiator enamel paint. The bulb in a 12v grain of wheat bulb."

It is so realistic! I love it, CM

This is the stove unit that came with the house. The table is antique german and the rustic bench hand made of unknown date. The Butler is contemporary with a pocket watch by Dawn Carrol CDHM, the governess in blue is a Mutt. (contemporary import, Manufacturer Unknown @ this Time...) This room was the livingroom but it had a giant glue stain on the back wall so I put the stove unit there. Also the flooring in the central hall and other room match so I made them a diningroom and the livingroom.

Call Small in the New York Times

Hey! Did you see the article on miniature modern furniture in the New York Times? It features Call of the Small. The journalist called me the week I blogged about reac chairs in American catalogs. She had never heard of the Kaleidescope House and I told her the history of dollhouses and referred her to the History by McKendry. She emailed me today and said the article ran. I told her about my collection and the MH1 house. And how I think Minimodernista is the zenith of modern design. She was amazed at all the miniature blogs and asked me why we do it. I said we like to play. She said I could blog about it after the article ran. Great pics! Oh, P.S. She was rather shocked when I told her how many dollhouses I had!
