    Thank you for keeping the integrity of the original build intact...I just hate to see people "open up" beautiful old homes like this and absolutely destroy the whole vintage charm and elegance...

      Me, too. I hate seeing before and after pictures and seeing that someone took the soul right out of a house and made it cold and sterile and cookie cutter. Always breaks my heart.

    I would move into this house right away :) I love your taste.
    By the way, you can change the opening of the refrigerator door. Every refrigerator has this capability.
    Then it will be much more convenient for you to use it.

    I know people can do what they want with their houses, but honestly it makes my skin crawl, when all original character is ripped out.

    My fiancé and I are considering a 1928 bungalow with a front exterior virtually identical to yours; we absolutely loved what you did to the exterior-the color scheme, the added decorative railing. The one we are considering has screened in the front. That would go and we would take notes from your restoration. Beautiful! ❤

  • @TheStoneWhisperer
    @TheStoneWhisperer 7 місяців тому +1

    Wow! I just bought a 1920 Craftsman home that is VERY similar to this that oddly enough, didn't have the front porch rail like yours did originally! I'd be interested to learn what did you use for that front porch rail? Did you find reclaimed front porch rail or did you simply build it yourself from new lumber? Thanks in advance!

    I love everything you did with this house! I have a love hate relationship with my 1932 Beach Bungalow. There are always things to do but I need to know what steps I need to take to insulate it. The previous owners redid the upstairs and it's comfortable but downstairs is freezing in the winter and almost unbearable in the summers. I have plaster walls. Any advice?

Someone also whitewashed over the brick fireplace, UGH. How do you undo THAT?!! OH, and did you know that there is only ONE company is all of the U.S.A. that RE-Porcelainizes Cast Iron Tubs?!!

      The door doesn't hit it even when all the way open. I made sure before I put it up. Plus, sconces on either side of a mirror are a much better placement than above. The lighting is far superior that way.

    rumah antik itu, warna tembok harus di cat tembok warna2 antik, seperti biru muda keabu2an, hijau muda keabu2an, atau walpaper dengan motif2 bunga yang warnanya lembut, hindari warna tembok yang silau seperti putih, cream, itu akan merusak nuansa hangat rumah antik jaman dulu, karena itu warna sungguh membosankan, hambar, dan disesuaikan dengan barang2 yang juga antik, yang sederhana saja, lebih indah, paduan warna2 harus sesuai, jangan kontras, itu akan merusak nuansa hangatnya, di padukan keramik2 antik bermotif yang lembut dan berwarna buram, untuk aksen, supaya indah, 😊, hanya saran saja, 🙏
