| here she is!! complete with windows |
This little beauty is the Triang 60! A joy to own! The size of this little house makes it easy to display. It can sit nicely on a small table or languish amongst other collectibles on a sideboard or dresser... A big difference to the Triang Stockbroker, which practically needs a room of its own! I got an enormous amount of pleasure from restoring this house.... For some unknown reason, when a house finally finds its way to me, it really needs some work to bring it back to life. That is probably a good thing as i wouldn't feel right about damaging or ignoring any original features, that a house might have.... This particular house had been painted over with an off-white colour, the roof had strips added and was painted dark grey. Windows were missing, and inside had been painted with grey/green gloss.. So began the tedious, time consuming job of scraping back (this took a bit longer than an afternoon) to se what, if anything, remained of the original features.... Delight!! a lovely butter yellow was the original colour! The flower splotches on the front were visible and joy of joys, the Triang label was intact, on the back, beneath the top layer of paint.... More scrounging around in the shed and i found some old ply to replace the timbering on the front and a small piece of pine to make the bench seat that is normally in the porch area. Some more vintage windows were sourced from the UK and bought via ebay... I think a family of grecons have their eyes on this place, they will soon call it home!!!
