Consider it an offering.
It's also quite affordable.
That is a unique home - for someone who loves historical homes and has the energy to handle the stairs.Quote:

There may already be a sale pending on it. Not sure about heritage status or local regs. Friends say it's at the crest of a long hill (Astoria is pretty hilly), so between that and all the stairs, it's not likely to be my retirement cottage.
That is a wonderful paint job on that old Victorian, I mean the exterior. It’s very effective. The red door pops. The interior is lovely and elegant and those floors are simply sublime. What pretty floors. I think the kitchen is not sensitive to the house.Quote:

The ironing board! The kitchen is wonderful with its original cabinetry and built in breakfast nook furniture. And the built-in beds are fabulous!
really cute, But apparently not on a nice street.
There might be a nice view of the Columbia from the rooms upstairs.
Lovely to look at and picturesque design; so much more to than the simple boxes of today. In all these houses that I have seen, there is no evidence of elaborate gingerbread on the exterior. I spent a couple of years studying the local gingerbread, taking photos and even writing a published article in the local newspaper. When I downsized, that all got tossed as I could find no one interested. Still enjoy seeing the remnants on older houses which are a real pain to paint, I am told.
IL, you know you've hit my hot button on bland HGTV/Joanna Gaines cookie-cutter decor. I completely feel your pain.
Here's Christian Siriano's home which I find happy and livable, despite a LOT of color.

I adore Christian Siriano, and I admire his house--especially the divine room with the green-striped chairs. And the distressed green sideboard. And the attic hideaway.
"The house is quite eclectic," Christian notes, "And because I'm a designer, it's all about the prints and the fabric and the textiles."
That's what I think quilting is about, so I'm always puzzled when people don't make the most of of that.
