A Doll House That Fascinates Adult Collectors & Children Alike! #Giveaway #HolidayGiftGuide

Lunby Logo

I have always loved dolls and doll houses. I did as a child and as and adult, I am still an avid lover and collector of both. I am amazed at the number of adult collectors of Lundby Swedish Doll Houses. There are many groups on Facebook alone dedicated to long time and brand new Lundby Doll House Collectors.  I have been collecting Lundby for a few years now. You  may remember my previous posts about my Lundby Smaland Doll House. Lundby smaland Doll House stock

 

I am here to show you some new additions to our Lundby doll house. First the biggest addition is really getting ready for Winter and swapping our Garden for the Winter Garden. We put away the trampoline and the race car because the garden is covered in sparkling snow. There is a small hill where the family has fun skiing and sledding. A snow-covered stone wall with a stylish gate surrounds the garden. Smaland Winter Garden

We added the Winter Family so that Mommy, Daddy, Sister and Brother are properly dressed for their winter activities.  Then of course the Smaland Winter Accessories with backpack packed with two thermal containers, plus 2 sets of skis. The set also includes a sled, a snowman and a “snowball pile” with real light!

We added some new interior furnishings as well. A set of Nursery Baby Furniture with a crib, bedding and changing table/dresser combination. This collection includes an adorable Chest with 3 drawers, a Crib with bedding, plus a sweet Teddy Bear to cuddle at night or during naps.

We added the Lundby Smaland Aquarium Set as well. The realistic aquarium is filled with 3 colorful fish and a seahorse. The aquarium is pre-wired with a working light and looks wonderful when lit.  Two potted geraniums are included to spruce up our Smaland house decor. To complete the look,  a gorgeous painting by artist Lisa Rinnevuo is included. This exquisite work of art is reproduced from one of the artist’s real paintings.

Doll Houses Are Not Just For Kids!

lundby-logo

I was introduced to the world of Lundby doll houses a little over a year ago.  A doll lover and collector all my life, dolls and doll houses are something I never outgrew.  I am not alone, Lundby has a wide collector base of women and men who collect the houses, furnishings, restore older houses and love to talk about and share their collections on online forums.

There are several Facebook pages where Lundby lovers and collectors do just that.  Lundby is timeless, loved by children, tweens, teens and right up to adults, the charm of Lundby just grows over the years.  Enjoyed by generations, Lundby love is passed down and these quality Swedish doll houses become family heirlooms.  Today, you will find older Lundby doll houses in great demand and many collectors are enthusiastically restoring the older homes to their modern glory.  Much more than a hobby, Lundy collectors have a passion!

Well, this year our Lundby Smaland doll house expanded with the addition of two rooms, garden area, several new furniture sets and great Christmas sets.  In fact our Lundby home is decked out or should I say the halls have been decked with Christmas magic.  The floor addition was easy to assemble, my young son even got in on the action and helped to secure the walls.  The house has real working lights which add a warmth and the new Christmas sets are a festive touch with a glowing fire in the fireplace and candles that light up on the tree.  Under the tree, wrapped in shiny paper and gold cord are gifts and you don’t need to peek to see there is a Smaland doll house just ready to be unwrapped come Christmas morning.

Updates and a Sneak Peek At Upcoming Giveaways!!! #Lundby #iCube

Wow, it has been a busy few days.  My youngest little one was sick most of the week with a fever, cold and cough.  Poor little guy.  He got better just in time for Halloween and had a good time trick or treating.  It did get pretty cold even with a shirt and thick hoodie under his costume so we were more than ready to get home and enjoy some hot chocolate!  Hope you all had fun with your kiddies.

I have been busy working all week and finished a busy month with my marketing business.  I also have some great news to share.  I was hired as an instructor at an online blogger university to teach Time Management which will start this winter.  Lots of prep on that and more to come.  We are in the middle of a porch project and waiting for the few nice days this week to finish.  Soon we should have a reveal on that project.  Lots of other reveals to come.

Anyway, some upcoming giveaways you might like are one from iCube for multiple winners and another from Lundby.  Take a look at some sneak peek photos. We also have a steam mop with portable steam cleaner coming up too and much, much more!

Lundby Smaland Swedish Design Doll House Review & Holiday Gift Guide Pick!!!

Lundby Lg Logo

If you are someone like me who has always adored dolls and doll houses, you know that no matter how old you get, you seldom outgrow it.  Truth is, we just call ourselves collectors and it’s acceptable to indulge that side of us. A great thing about having kids is that we can actually play with their toys as well.  Sometimes we buy toys more for ourselves than for them.

I have to admit, I was not aware of the rich history that Lundby had in the doll house world.  It didn’t take long to find out, just a quick search on the internet and I found they have been at it since 1947 and they have a very large following of collectors who are restoring vintage Lundby doll houses and reveling in the newest Lundby Smaland Doll Houses and accessories.  The Smaland Doll’s House has been a favorite since the 1950s and was totally redesigned in 2011 with  all-new contemporary decor.

I was thrilled to assemble our new Lundby Smaland Doll House.  It was very easy and when it was all together, we moved on to the furnishings and the lights!  The Smaland Doll’s House is prewired with Lundby’s unique 4.5 volt lighting system that allow you to decorate with all kinds of Lundby light fixtures.

The house is expandable and you can add an additional 2 rooms to the house, a summer or winter garden and white picket fence.  The house is so detailed and features full functional doors and widows, a balcony and colorful papered floors and walls.  My kids were amazed at the real working lights and  realistic furnishings.   The bathroom set even included the tumblers with little yellow toothbrushes, 2 rubber ducks, towels, shampoo and soap bottles.  The house, available furnishings, dolls, expansion sets and pets allow you to totally create the house of your dreams!!!  Dimensions: 30.3 x 10.2 x 15.4 inches. Scale 1:18. Please note: power supply, lights, furniture, accessories and dolls are not included. Appropriate for children ages 3 and over, with adult supervision.
