The house is beautiful. Who cares how old Lana is and how how she got her money.

P90X - I hate Timberland Boots. You are an idiot.

The kitchen in my 1938 home has yellow hexagonal tile for the countertop, and burgundy rectangular tile for the borders of the countertop and the backsplash. The burgundy tile also surrounds the faucet. Yes, the grout gets dirty at times. I clean it with bleach. Yes, some of the grout is old and chipping. A few of the tiles are even chipped. Nevertheless, the tile is almost as old as, if not as old as the house and it still looks pretty good. I wouldn't replace it with Corian or any solid surface. In fact, I'm thinking of replacing the two chipped tiles with the same exact tile if I can find it.

Go with the yellow hexagonal tile!

Right on booyakasha!

Only in America is moving by bike such a "ridiculous" thought.

Wow! What a view.

I would sand and refinish the floors. We recently bought a house and ripped out the carpets. The oak floors were covered in black adhesive and had several stains. We sanded the floors using a random orbital sander and a drum sander that we rented from Home Depot. We also refinished the floors. They look great. It was a lot of work but worth it. The whole thing cost us about $250. It would have cost a lot more if we hired professionals.

Amazing. My favorite house tour so far.
