Your House In The 1920's
A friend of ours bought an arts and crafts home in Payette Idaho. Two story with a full basement. It does need some design touches and paint, but wow, what a house. I was looking for design ideas for him and found this site. It shows kitchens, dining rooms, stairways, windows, doors, lamps etc. http://www.antiquehome.org/Inside-your-house/1920s/
