Home is where the Kitchen is
I also hate the current trend of "open floor plans", and I love you for hating them! :) :eusa_clap My boyfriend wants to knock out the wall between our formal dining room and kitchen in our 1940 house, and I am very opposed to this idea. He keeps saying that we need more cabinet space and that...- xequar

I'll definitely keep all that in mind! And I apologise for placing this in the wrong spot. I looked for threads about houses, but I didn't look in right spot obviously... :o As interesting stuff develops, I'll have to update this. Right now is mostly patching walls and painting. The...- xequar

Vintage Coffee Makers
Yes, it's true, coffee is best brewed between roughly 195 and 205 degrees fahrenheit. That temperature range works best for extracting the oils that give coffee its flavour without burning those same oils and making them bitter-tasting. From the standpoint of the coffee-connoisseur, the...- xequar

House interior pics
Oh, and I forgot... Someone mentioned wallpaper. There is one room with wallpaper, which is the gray bathroom. I took a couple pics. I have no idea if it's original or was added later. (there's a border in the kitchen that I guarantee is not original that isn't worth more notation than...- xequar

House interior pics
Thanks, everybody! I definitely am going to take some time to check out those links and get ideas. From what I can gather, it seems as though we're only the third owners of the house, amazingly! The last people that lived there were there for 20-plus years. Apparently the husband passed...- xequar

House interior pics
This is the original bannister and glass block window in the foyer (and you can see that the house has been neglected for far too long...) Now for the best part-the original bathrooms! I'll let these jewels speak for themselves, and yes, that's translucent blue glass block on the...- xequar

House interior pics
Hello I actually stumbled onto this forum as I was looking for ideas for the kitchen in the house my boyfriend and I bought a few months ago. The house is a 2300-plus square foot colonial built in 1940 by someone that seems as though they were doing pretty well in life. A lot of the...- xequar

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Hello I stumbled on this place while looking for decorating and material ideas for my new house, a big 1940 colonial. I'll have to post some pics, as the bathrooms are all original, and parts of the kitchen are original as well. Hopefully someone will appreciate them!- xequar
