Hall's Lifetime Toys Dollhouse Furniture-Kitchen Roombox Update

The kitchen room box is moving 

along at a snails pace.

 I've been watching e-bay for a

corner cabinet and hutch made by

 Hall's Lifetime toys.  Individually the

 pieces go for around $25 to $75, far 

more than I'm willing to pay!!

This is a bargain, scrappy room box.

I happened upon a set of 5 pieces in excellent

 condition for less than the price of a single piece, 

including shipping, so I snatched it up.

Hall's Lifetime Toys was in business in Chattanooga, 

Tennessee, from the early 1960's through the 1980's. 

They made quality doll furniture for 8-12" dolls like 

Ginny and Madame Alexander.  They also made 3/4"

 scale miniature furniture and 1/12 scale furniture 

and dollhouses.  All of their furniture was made of 

gum wood and plywood & extremely sturdy for play.  

The company offered several styles and finishes that

included painted white, blond, Early American, maple 

and Mountain Cherry.  It was sold in upper 

scale department stores.

 This Early American dollhouse series consisted of 12

pieces of furniture for a living room, bedroom

 and kitchen:

Sofa

Chair

Table & Chairs

Sideboard

Hutch Cabinet

Corner Cabinet 

Rocker

Chest

Canopy Bed

Wardrobe

Nightstand

Dresser

  Now I have 3 odd pieces of furniture!

Do I see a scrappy bedroom

 box in my future?

I've found a hodge podge of  ladder back

 chairs with rush seats, just like the ones

my Grandad had.

 The hubs made some shutters for the

the outside of the windows.

 I've been diligently working on the rug.  This is 

actually many hours of making french knots.

   I've been gathering paint swatches......

I wish each of you a

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

shared with the ones you love!!!
