As I’ve posted about before (here<\/a> and here<\/a>), 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.<\/p>\n

This settle and wardrobe are from the Lynda Bauer estate<\/a>, and came from Debbie Heard (Estate Dollhouse Miniatures<\/a>) on eBay.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Both are signed by Jayne McCormick.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/a>) <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Maybe if I just used the settle, and not the wardrobe? I dunno, it takes up a lot of space.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I can use the settle downstairs in the entry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Or maybe in the living room.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This chair is made by Oldham Studio. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They’re both beautifully made, but the Oldham chair is slightly larger and more substantial. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It looks better with the desk. I especially like the arms.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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!)<\/p>\n

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.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The matching dresser is another recent eBay find. Here it is next to the dark green one I already had.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Before this showed up on eBay, I had found a picture<\/a> 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!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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

I’ll use one of corner cabinets as a toy shelf in the Mansard’s kid bedroom.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Okay, one more piece to show off. I spotted this corner cabinet on eBay in April.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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\u2019s writing on the back. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

But I did.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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