That is an amazing home, he did such a fabulous job. And good for him for sticking too it :eusa_clap , I am sure many people discouraged the behavior.

I like that living room set too, great 30s look! I would never go to that much effort to live retro, but I commend him for making the effort.

Indeed there are a lot of us out there! Well I say I ‘us’ I am doing as much as my circumstances allow!
But I do think he has done a grand job….. However if I was to be picky (sorry, a perfectionist here:eek: ) the kitchen cupboards aren’t period along with the other obvious things. The Past Time packaging is new isn’t it?! But I suppose that’s the photographers fault. Quite a positive article too, which makes a change! ;)

Very nice article about a very cool guy. I didn't even bother reading the comments section because I knew there would be some bozos that would annoy me. I really do commend the guy for ignoring naysayers and living life the way he wants to live it. That place is my dream house.
