When I came across this adorable 1883 house in Saint Paul, Minnesota, I fell in love with the sunflower painting. And, the 3bd, 3ba home was priced at $360K. It's been reno'd, but it's so unusual that I'm on the fence about it. I don't hate it. What do you think?

I mean, it's simple, clean, and not technically white. It's a blank slate for the new owner.

I find this interesting. They took that section of wall and cleverly made it into a fireplace and TV wall. That's unique.

They faced seating toward it and opened it to the kitchen, making an open concept family room/kitchen.

The kitchen's very nice, I like the floor, the color of the cabinets, and the cook stove in the middle with an attractive hood.

The renovated bath has a nice pedestal sing and a large shower.

Cute children's bedroom. It can be taken down if you don't have kids, but it's so cute.

They took the time to add architectural interest like the beams, spiral stairs and loft. This is actually the primary suite.

Very nice full bath here, also.

The sleep loft is brand new, cozy, and also has the small room and bath below, which makes it the primary suite.

These are the hall stairs to the 2nd floor.

The bedroom is large and has a bath that is shared with the room across the way. There's a privacy screen shielding the bath.

Very pretty.

3rd bedroom across the hall.

This is just so beautiful.

The yard has a pretty fence and gate that opens to a tiered patio.

“akschually, it’s classist to say people shouldn’t visually modernize Victorian homes!!! what if they can’t afford restoration?!?!?!”

then how the hell could they afford to IKEA-fy the place, Deborah? you have to pay contractors to do all those major modifications, after all, just as you would to restore

nobody’s mad about temporary, cheap wall-to-wall carpeting to make the floors warmer. that can be removed whenever someone else wants it gone, down the line, and the wood underneath will still be there

we’re mad about knocking down all the interior walls, replacing sconces and chandeliers with recessed can lighting, and painting the whole place greige

#old houses #permanent alterations beyond making the place basically safe to live in are what piss me offl #(and accessibility is fine too obviously)#not temporary measures that are reversible #and in my area the IKEA-fication actually jacks up the price so #nobody's doing it to save money

So while visiting Indiana for the holidays I came across this medicine cabinet, which was a lot like the one we had in my house growing up.

A lot of houses in the Midwest have medicine cabinets like this. With a little slot on the inside. You know what it's for?

Razor blades.

Yeah. These things.

I shit you not, you were supposed to shave and, when your double-edged razor blade got dull, you just took it out of your razor and... shoved it through the slot. it was like a sharps container, to keep nasty old razor blades from going into the trash.

"Where does the slot go," you might ask?

It doesn't go anywhere. It leads right to the space between the walls.

Yep. There are plenty of houses with bathroom walls full of old, used, rusty razor blades.

Bear that in mind if you do any remodeling.

I was admiring the paint on this 1910 home in Postville, Iowa when I noticed the price. It's a 5bd, 4ba, for-sale-by-owner, and it's only $150K. Look at how cute it is.

The enclosed porch has a slate tile floor and fresh paint.

The door opens to a typically Victorian side hall. It needs a little polish, but we see that it's original. It could be fixed up to be a real doll house.

Not sure that the bench would convey, but it would be nice if it did.

There's some lovely woodwork plus a fireplace.

The sitting room is surprisingly roomy- if it fits a piano, it's big.

Thru the sitting room is a dining room (since the owner took the photos himself, a lot of detail is missing).

The kitchen looks freshly redone and there are a lot of original features, as well the original footprint.

I don't know what he's showing here, but that little door. I'm not sure what it is.

This must be a newly done family room with a cozy wood stove.

This would be the primary bedroom.

A bath that's very vintage- lots of potential.

Two cute bedrooms.

And, this is a remodeled bath. Looks like a DIY, but useable.

In this photo it looks like the owner is showing the original floor and columns.

There's a nice garage.

Covered deck on the back. The yard is snow-covered, but the lot is .45 acre.

Another very weird sentiment I’ve heard in the Modernizing Old Houses Discourse is “getting mad about modernized houses is classist!!!“

Which baffles me, because… Nobody is talking about making the house livable, or putting in a modern stove, or updating the bathroom, or things like that. The kind of people who live in old houses because it’s cheaper absolutely cannot afford to knock down walls, install recessed lighting, paint the entire interior white,and generally make everything a pottery barn wet dream. The sort of modernization that pisses people off costs money, money that implies that the people who do it could’ve had the house properly restored if they weren’t such HGTV assholes determines to butt in where they weren’t needed

where are these mythical poor people who can afford to totally overhaul the interior of a house?
