The Mysteries of Plumbing-House Update

The Mysteries of Plumbing-House Update


The last few weeks we have been working on the plumbing. We haven't started putting it back, just the tear out as it was in the way of the floor joist that needed to be fixed. Also, we have been trying to come up with a good bathroom arrangement. I am planning on going very vintage/classic with black and white tile and a sink that is very similar to the one above.
The bathroom is very *cozy*.I have seen walk in closets this big!!  It seems there is really no good way to put everything in without having to trip over something. I keep telling myself "If they could live with it in the 20s, I can live with it too!" I just wish there was one choice that stood out to make the choice easier..... We could of course enlarge it, but that would mean the already small bedroom on the left would be made smaller. And a lot of mess ripping out studs and plaster.
This is going to be one of those decisions I will either regret in a few months time or wonder why I was so worked up about it......
A random cool picture of the laundry hooks ups. I love the little spigots!
We always marvel at old plumbing. Ninety years of fixing and adjusting, it looks like a spider web! I think they had extra elbows that needed to be used.....

The Thrill of a Smart Fitting Gown

The Thrill of a Smart Fitting Gown

 I am sure we would all agree with the title of this advertisement! They certainly had a way with words then. This is a beautiful page from The Ladies Home Journal, 1925. Don't you love how colorful it is? Color ads are always such a treat.
I love all the dresses in the ad, but this one really caught my eye. Not sure if it is the bow catching the over skirt up, the subtle polka dots on the fabric or the hat! Just love that hat.
"Pictorial Review Patterns for years have been the choice of women who demand chic and smartness-whether in a simple frock or an elaborate gown."
 
 This ad is on the reverse side. It just makes me laugh! Don't you love the names they gave products?
