A big improvement. I wonder what it would look like with some decals.

This is one of the few homes I have seen at AT that I really like a lot. The blue velvet (?) sofa is lovely. The only thing I don't like is the pattern on the headboard, which make me feel dizzy. The house has such a cozy feel, and the little dog is adorable. I would have liked to see the garden.

I didn't mean to insult Josh's glasses in my earlier remark. In fact I didn't even notice them until now. I was just giving glasses as an example of another style from the sixties that has become popular again.

I love these! This would be a great project to do with my grand children.

I know those vinal and chrome kitchen sets from the fifties are trendy and sought after now. I'm old enough to remember them when they were popular the first time around, and it mystifies me why the have come back in style. They don't seem the least bit attractive to me, maybe because by, say, 1970 they were considered really ugly junk. It didn't help that by then the vinyl had been torn on most of the ones still in use, and only poor people or broke students still used them.

I feel the same way about eye glasses with heavy plastic frames, or glasses with heavy, decorated arms. (my Mom used to wear bejeweled glasses with wind swept frames in the early 60's --like the ones in "Far Side" cartoons.)

However, maybe everything comes back in style eventually. In thirty years perhaps brass and glass items from the 80's will be in style. Perhaps the secret to liking a returned style is not being able to remember the first time it was popular. I love the craftsmen style from before WW II.

Everything is just really nice. And totally unpretentious. Thanks for sharing.

Put a wooden rocking chair in the room and use the bumper pads as cushions on the rocking chair.

I liked the old cabinets better. The old kitchen also gives the impression of having a lot more counter space. The new kitchen has very little counter space near the sink and stove, and although the new island can be used as a counter I don't think it is as useful as having counter space adjacent to the sink and stove. Also, where is the dishwasher in the new kitchen? Is it in the island?

But I guess the owners like it, and that's what matters.

I love the old desk (?) that is being used as a night table and vanity. Really nice bedroom and adorable dog.
