This is the nicest kitchen yet. Really awesome. Your new place is immaculately designed. I don't know about some of the furniture (metal dining room table chairs

) but it really looks well done.

I don't think they made McMansions in the 1870s and if they did, they wouldn't be on the market today.

In Cincinnati you can get a nice older home that probably has around 18 rooms for under $300,000. They aren't in the nicest neighborhoods though.

You can get 6 bedrooms, 5 bathroom "victorian" houses for 600-700k on Long Island

Unfortunately streeteasy doesn't let you search LI other than the East End but other areas are cheaper than that... and then again, others are MUCH more expensive

A lot of beautiful pieces of furniture, gregaz. If that was my kitchen, though, I'd start renovations with a freaking sledgehammer.

And it would need that much in upgrades as well.

gregaz, if you ever want to sell that home in the future, I'll buy it. Seriously. I've been looking for something like that for a while.

Since I posted a house photo in WAYWRN a couple of days ago, I got a couple of PM's asking for more. So, I figured this would be a better place for it. The house is a 1957 built by Blaine Drake, who was one of the only FLW apprentices who went on to do residential stuff. The amazing thing, is that it was built for a family who lived in it until a couple of years ago, and the house is largely original. No remodels or "updates," just the way he envisioned it back in 1957, with minimal wear and tear. Enjoy!

I am green w/envy. Love MCM architecture and the furnishings are really great too. Nice.
