As I’ve posted about before (here and here), I’m constantly on the hunt for Bauder-Pine furniture to use in my Mansard Victorian. Here are some pieces I’ve acquired over the past year and a half.

This settle and wardrobe are from the Lynda Bauer estate, and came from Debbie Heard (Estate Dollhouse Miniatures) on eBay.

Both are signed by Jayne McCormick.

I was especially excited about these since they’re different colors than the rest of what I have. Most of the hand-painted Bauder-Pine furniture is light green or dark green.

Since I hadn’t seen these colors before, I wondered if these were one-of-a-kind pieces. Cathy Vaughan, the current owner of Bauder-Pine, sent me pics of pages from an old catalog that shows blue and red furniture.

These particular pieces were intended to show how Cassidy Creations kits could be finished — they weren’t for sale through the catalog. The settle I bought might even be the one pictured.

I had been planning a layout something like this for the second floor bedroom. The bed is also Bauder-Pine, and I think the corner fireplace is too. (More details here.)

The blue and red furniture looks great with the blue bed. But there wasn’t a good way to lay it out with these pieces and also fit in the corner fireplace.

Maybe if I just used the settle, and not the wardrobe? I dunno, it takes up a lot of space.

Or the wardrobe and not the settle? Nah, I don’t like this. The wardrobe looks better when it’s against the back wall, so you can see the painted doors.

Meanwhile, here’s what I was thinking for the third floor bedroom. This is also a Bauder-Pine bed, blanket chest, and washstand.

The third floor room is bigger, so I decided to try swapping the green bedroom with the blue bedroom. Unfortunately I still couldn’t make the settle fit, but I like this layout and it gives a good view of the wardrobe.

I can use the settle downstairs in the entry.

Or maybe in the living room.

With the new layout, I have space to add a Cassidy Creations desk to the blue bedroom. This is one I bought already assembled. I tried one of my William Clinger Windsor chairs with it. It looks okay, but I didn’t want to break up the set, and I’d rather the desk chair have a lighter finish.

The universe was looking out for me, because a day or two after I started looking around for a replacement chair, Debbie Heard listed this one on eBay.

This chair is made by Oldham Studio.

They’re both beautifully made, but the Oldham chair is slightly larger and more substantial.

It looks better with the desk. I especially like the arms.

There’s nothing wrong with this desk, but I’m planning to build a new one because I have some ideas for modifications (of course). Stay tuned for that in a future post.

So this is funny in a way that only people who share my particular addiction will understand — when I went to put away the William Clinger chair, I discovered that I have FIVE of them, not four like I thought. Where did this fifth chair come from? Did the Windsor chair fairy drop it off in the middle of the night? Did the other chairs have a baby?

I looked back at my eBay purchase history and discovered I bought it last fall — again, from Debbie Heard! — for $29.95 plus shipping. I have zero memory of this, but presumably I did it because the price was so good. And because I have a problem.

Of course, if I’d realized this was a bonus fifth chair, I could have used it with the desk without breaking up the set. I like the Oldham chair better with the desk, though, so it worked out. (Maybe someday I’ll find a sixth William Clinger chair for a good price. Then I’ll just need a bigger dining table to go with them!)

Okay, back to Bauder-Pine. Now that the blue bedroom is on the third floor, the green bedroom will be on the second floor. (This wardrobe is a placeholder.)

The matching dresser is another recent eBay find. Here it is next to the dark green one I already had.

Before this showed up on eBay, I had found a picture of a light green dresser online. I was going to try to make my own by printing out the drawer fronts and decoupaging them onto a Cassidy Creations bureau kit. Would it have worked? We’ll never know!

And here’s one more recent find in light green. The cabinet on the left, I already had. The cabinet on the right, with a broken piece of trim, is another eBay purchase from Debbie. I can repair it using a piece of trim out of a Cassidy Creations corner cabinet kit.

(Do I really need two of these? No, of course not. But I didn’t need that fifth Clinger chair, either.)

I’ll use one of corner cabinets as a toy shelf in the Mansard’s kid bedroom.

Sadly, I did not win the auction for this red version that Debbie listed last week. If I had, I might have used it in the kid’s room instead, to balance out the red wardrobe.

I can tell from the design on the doors that this isn’t the same red corner cabinet shown in the Bauder-Pine catalog page above, so there’s at least one more of these out there in the world. Maybe I’ll get lucky someday.

Okay, one more piece to show off. I spotted this corner cabinet on eBay in April.

I have one similar to this already. This one is the same style as the Cassidy Creations wall cabinet. According to Cathy, that’s Pat Bauder’s writing on the back.

The blue one is a corner cabinet, which I’d never seen before. And it also has Pat Bauder’s writing on the back.

It was priced higher than I want to admit. The Mansard doesn’t have any corners to use it in. I so, so didn’t need to buy this.

But I did.

It could work in the Bill Lankford shanty (which I haven’t really touched since I first posted about it three years ago). For now I’ll put it away and hopefully won’t completely forget it exists.
