I am late to the party but let me also add that Little Red is amazing! The care and precision with which these are made now is so different from how they were made many years ago - as quick and easy as they could get them out the door.

I'd love to repro the wall pattern on these but never have time. I wonder if the patterns from the BIT texture pages would help get close to some of them.

There's a usable semirealistic brick pattern here:
