Barrington SOLD
The Barrington, a Queen Ann style home, personifies Victorian design with its gingerbread trim and gables. I built this house in 1991 from an Artply kit. The Artply company created beautiful designs from wood that were better quality than the wood used by Greenleaf, a competing company. Today the Artply company no longer exists, but the Greenleaf company has survived.
This house took six months to complete with very little kitbashing. It contains 9 rooms. The kitchen and bath cannot be seen in this image as they are in the left corner of the house. This is one of my favorite houses. It is such a grand lady!
The Barrington has two bedrooms, one bath, a parlor, dining room, kitchen, an attic nursery, office and hobby room, which includes a music and sewing area.
While most dollhouses have a back opening, the Barrington has a corner which gives the house a more three dimensional effect.
These little girls are a bit larger scale, but they just seem to fit this house.
This bathroom is from a Chrysbon kit.
The cross-stitched bedspread matches the quilled flowers in the window.
The little girl is Caco, while the other dolls are by Peggy Nisbett.
The male doll is by Peggy Nisbett.
The Parlor
I made the pottery from Sculpty clay.
The dining room table and chairs are by Concord.
