Another VERO dollhouse has captured my heart! It's hard not to be charmed by a VERO. I already have two: a 1966 beauty and a mod, two-story early 1970s one. I've had my eye on the lovely one-story "Seeblick" or "sea view" for quite some time, and when Annina put hers up for sale, and I could not resist. It's a bit beaten up, but still has wonderful life and karma (Annina is such a talented miniaturist, stylist, and photographer).
It's an insane purchase, since I literally have no room for it. I managed to clear off some space adjacent to my Bodensee in order to put it together. As Rebecca noted in her post from a few years ago, you need to be an octopus to get it all screwed together! I struggled and dropped the tiny screws more times than I can count, but it finally came together. I took some quick first shots after setting up a living room and bedroom. One day, I will bring it upstairs into natural light for some better images and backdrop.
Until then...

Accessories are Re-ment, dollhouse show buys, made by Dragondee, and TOMY.
The time it took me: 52 minutes (not including assembling the house!)
Oh this is really a nice house. Congratulations that you got it! And you got it from Annina, how nice too. If it were'nt so big I would have love to buy it too, but there is not enough room in my flat, so I have to enjoy your fotos.
ReplyDeletegreetings from germany. I know I'm quite hidden in my other affairs, but I'm kind of connected to the miniscene in my way!

Gracias, Mari!!
DeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteI know you don't like the lighting in the basement, but it adds to the "vintage" feel. I like it. I knew you would end up with that house! And, in this hobby, I think it is best to embrace the "insane" purchases...Let's face it, it will happen again--and probably before the year ends. Ha!There's no price limits for inner peace and happiness. Hmm. Wait. I guess as long as the bills have been paid and no one gets hurt... ;)
ReplyDeleteThe fluorescent lights do add a vintage-y feel. I am SOOOO out of space but I am hoarder and probably won't sell anything.
DeleteI like the rug, and the sofa, and the chairs and... ;) Everything is very nice! Hannah
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the decor, Hannah!
DeleteLove, love, love the windows! Neat having 3. You can make them look like a block. CM
ReplyDeleteThe windows are one of the neatest parts of the house! Wish I had the other missing two!
DeleteOooo congrats!!! I was eyeing that when Annina posted, so glad it went to a good home of homes. :D It looks fantastic, have fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope to do some more with it.
DeleteI like your stonework! Any ideas where I can acquire some?
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Jus
Sorry, Jus! This stonework came with the house and as far as I know is not available commercially.
DeleteYay, Congrats on acquiring one! I love these bungalows. Mine is now owned by my eldest daughter and she love it!! hugs, gg
ReplyDeleteNice Mommy! I hope she enjoys doing setups!
DeleteFantastic house! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's a little gem :)
DeleteI love the Reto feel of the accessories! I think that you have accessorized the house beautifully and the house is Wonderful! I am immediately transported back in time! I think the green rug is the perfect pattern although it appears to be a bit thick when viewed from the side, however, the color is spot on! Lovin it, good work!
