The sun room and kitchen are the only presentable, fully working rooms right now. Even they need some adjusting of decor, but they are mostly in order, and hence are my favorite rooms right now. The house has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a dining room (currently box-central), a living room, a sun room, a kitchen, a mudroom, an attic and basement. I love the basement-- "This box is in my way, can you take it to the basement?" It's a whole new level of the "honey-do" list. The only problem with the basement and attic are the stairs. Did people really only have 5 inch long feet one hundred years ago?
The kitchen is functional without excess. The counters appear to be from the 50s-- an aluminum lined laminate material. The yellow back splash tiles are authentic plastic tiles. There are nine drawers in the cabinetry-- I have never had so many drawers. What on earth do you use so many drawers for? One of them is an old built-in flour bin, a deep drawer made of metal. The door above leads to the basement.
Across from the basement door is this windowed door to the mudroom. Apparently, you leave your mudroom unlocked for visitors, and visitors are polite enough not to steal your tools out of the mudroom. This room is nearly the same tempurature as outside, in the 30s right now. The kitchen is hovering the 60s and 70s. Toasty!
By the way, that is indeed an advertisement for chewing tobacco you see in our mudroom.
The house is very charming. We have not unpacked everything yet, nor cleaned things to our satisfaction, but it is working out nicely. I love the door knobs.
