Furnishing The Rest Of The Ground Floor Of My Antique Hacker Dolls House

With the house restored, the kitchen now filled & sorted, furnishing continues on the ground floor of this restored German Hacker dolls house. So it is the dining room & hall next. 

These lovely paintings I have had for ages. Left is by K.F.J.Bird (1987) & right is by Ellie De Lacy (2003).

These other pictures, although clearly homemade are really sweet, I love them & have had them for ages. The stag head on shield is initialled on the reverse but sadly illegible, but appears to be dated 1976. 

Parts of the original papers are in a poor condition, so as with the kitchen, furnishings have been carefully placed to hide the worst patches or district the eye. 

I have fixed a pair of antique corner cupboards (one on each corner), & on the one seen above is an antique  porcelain plant & a Sally Meekin ornament, which all help to distract the eye away from damaged wallpaper.

The gorgeous German cupboard seen to the right of this photo, was given to me in pieces by a lady who did not want it & thought that I could make use of it! I certainly could, & although it was a bit tricky I did manage to put it all back together again. The doors even open now!

Some of the bits & bobs came with the house, such as this gorgeous Wilhelm Goebel dinner service,  & the incredibly heavy plinth with gold coloured bust, so it is nice to reunite them with their “home” as they have been sitting in a box too long! 

Am sure this hall will evolve further over time but for now, this will do.

Slowly the house is coming alive again & I am loving it!! 

Next I will be working on furnishing the drawing room & a bedroom on the middle floor rooms.
