More proof I was born behind my time
September 30, 2008So, back in the day (1900 to about 1940) Sears sold houses – entire houses – in their catalog: floorplan and all construction materials included.
I’d gladly take either of these beauts, nestled in the hills and trees of my vast Kentucky tract. How me: all grandiose Southern plantation-y on the outside; sleek and modern on the inside.
Riiiiiight 😉
Bedrooms are a little tight in the lovely Magnolia, so I’d blow out a wall to create a Master Kid-Free Zone Suite.
Life in the Avenues 
Looks like a great house there HC! Also very good alteration plans 😀
That Magnolia is quickly becoming my obssession. Did you see it has a SLEEPING PORCH?? A sleeping porch!! That’s just brilliant!
Forgive my ignorance Emily, but what’s a sleeping porch?
Before they had air conditioning they had sleeping porches so you could sleep in the night air and be screened from the bugs.
Aahhh… that sounds so awesome 😀
It really does sound awesome! They must’ve thought of everything back then.
Everything but air conditioning! HA!
