But I still consider myself a novice in this hobby- this 1906 house was my first real vintage house (I have several more now, but I still have a LOT to learn!). <br />You really should take a look at the "My Vintage Dollhouses" blog. She has a fantastic collection, and so much knowledge on all the furniture and makers, etc. Florine's blog was what inspired me to continue with my collection, and she has links to so many other collectors as well. <br />Again, nice to meet you, and I'm sure we'll "meet" up again in this little community!Corey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07138221643369425005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22176179.post-8229947931600661132014-02-26T08:11:12.662-08:002014-02-26T08:11:12.662-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089757355692997778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22176179.post-14566459354732338722014-02-26T07:48:37.467-08:002014-02-26T07:48:37.467-08:00With the exception of some Strombecker candle stic...With the exception of some Strombecker candle sticks and wooden bowls, I had no "little" things to go in my kitchen. So I JUST bought a bunch of little German, and little (what I believe to be) Tootsie Toy metal plates and cups and pitchers etc., as well as several WONDERFUL old pieces of plaster dollhouse food. I have not been able to find any old cabinets or shelves, so I think I am going to borrow your idea and put wainscoting up the walls to little shelves as you have done, in order to display my vintage metal pieces. (I recognize several of your pieces as matching mine!) Sorry for such a long post, but I have know no one else who speaks 'DOLLHOUSE'. I hope to hear from you. Thanks for the ideas and the inspiration. Nice to meet you!

I found some beautiful quality, and very reasonably priced, dollhouse furniture at an antique store. I knew it was old--but I didn't realize HOW OLD--until I started researching. It turned out to be Strombecker, from the 1930's. Well, now that I owned several rooms of beautiful furniture, I just HAD to have a house to put it into. RIGHT? The house that I eventually got is a homemade job that probably dates to the 1940's. I am currently using it, but it needs to be completely renovated. Old, ugly wallpaper pealing off. Old, ugly linoleum tile bulging up. You get the picture. So, looking at at these photos inspires me to empty out my little house--which needs a THOROUGH spring cleaning anyway--and start attacking some of the remodeling issues. My kitchen is furnished with a few pieces of 1920's German furniture, but mostly with the 1936 Strombecker pieces I had originally purchased.
