modern dollhouse, 1972

Dollhouse

"today's dolls are mad for the mod dwelling"

after a quick trip to the hobby shop you should have all you need to create this dollhouse - balsa wood, laminated & transparent plastic, cardboard sheets, glue and some poster paints. the carpet & tabletop are covered in gift wrap, the furniture was crafted from building blocks and the fireplace was made with an ice cream carton and a lid from a spray can.

(from "better homes and gardens gifts to make yourself" 1972)

THE FINE PRINT

  • Many of the images are from my collection of vintage books, magazines, ephemera and found photos. Whenever possible I cite the sources of the images I post. In some instances I will be showing some of my original work that has been inspired by the images I feature. Please be respectful and do not copy or reproduce anything without my permission.
