About Me
Hi there,
I'm Johnny Clarke and I live in New Alresford, Hampshire, I live with my hubby Chris,(Chris on the left, me on the right of the photo) and we've been married for two yeays this July. We both work in care. I have always loved miniature ever since a child, having had several dolls houses, Sindy collection etc..various scales obvioulsy. Recently I started collecting Triang dolls house furniture, as we had some when we were kids...I built up quite a collection and decided it would be great to have a house to put it all in. i designed one and have sat on the plans for a while..thinbking how much will this actually cost..materials etc...then decided to look on ebay..and found the perfect house, a proper 'real' home with a back and front just like a real house..it was home made back in the late 50s early 60s I would say by the decor/style. I bought it for the brilliant sum of £25.00 B.I.N and went down to Poole, just an hours drive south of us...which made a nice day out for us as well. Result !...It's now situated on the dining table and in the process of 'building' work...which is great fun. Here's a link to my facebook page and all the pictures so far... http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.427032917385422.104328.100002361529046&type=3 hope you like them ...J x x x x x x Post a CommentOops!The words you entered did not match the given text.

ah ha, I see. No, I have never seen that one- how interesting.
Hi Johnny- there is a Tri-ang Spot on Ascot boiler listed on Ebay at present with 2 days left to go. You may have already seen it.
hi Johnny, Chris
welcome to DHPP, love the house, what a blast, i think everyone had at least one of those items of furniture in the 60's 70's, the problem i'd have is would i decorate or leave it original?, hmmmmm!, decisions decisions.
Hi Johnny, welcome to DHPP, I'm sure you will find this website fascinating. i love the pictures of your house especially the bright colours. You have some fabulous furniture items too. Cheers Fi (fifllele) from NZ.
Hi Johnny
Great house. I love the kitchen. I also love the furniture, especially the radiogram. Being born in the 60s some of the decor sparks vague memories. It will be such a satisfying project and I can't wait to see what you do with it. Please keep us up to date. I'd love to do a 60s house at some stage myself.
Hi Johnny and Chris, may I also welcome you to DHPP! I, too, am pleading for you to upload pics of your house here. Regards, Julie
Hi Johnny and Chris, welcome to DHPP, I've tried to look at your facebook page but it says it's unavailable, can you post them on this site as well please, would love to see them
