Oh Robert, what a lovely house! You're definitely a home maker! And I love the street. The snow makes the pictures very bright, just like a winter should be. Overhere we haven't had any snow yet and it is living like in the dark ages!!
Little door by the front door
Very cool Robert.The English Tudor is one of my favorite styles. You must have had fun furnishing the home in 1950's decor. I know how that goes.One piece at a time,but so much FUN when you find something that "goes".
Do you know what the small door is next to the front door? I think I used to know,but I have forgotton. Milk delivery,or US mail perhaps? I love the plaster arches too.And the built in places for the vintage phones are cool too.
Keep up the good work,and thanks for "having us over"

Way cool home Robert. Thanks for sharing.
HI everybody, thanks for your kind words. Part of the fun of filling the house with fun vintage things is the hunt after all.
Louis, like Greg I’ve only heard that plant referred to as a “Mother-In-Law tongue” plant.
Rick that little door is the Mail Slot which we still use as a mailbox. Our entire neighborhood was built in the early 1930's.
Don, its only 8” of snow, that doesn’t keep us Minnesotans at home, otherwise we’d be home for three months and think of all the Apex washers I could miss finding, not to mention getting fired for not showing up at work This snow, and others to come on top of it, wont melt until late Feb or early March. We just press 4-Wheel drive and off we go. Actually the estate sales were as mobbed as usually today.
Venus I will send a bit of snow down your way. Actually when I do a convention again in a few years I was thinking it might be fun for the southerners to have it in January.

Wow Robert, your house is beautiful!!! Love the 50's--60's Eames-style decor, not to mention the English Tudor!
One more thing: Is the basement door in the kitchen? ;-)
Send us some snow! I wish we had 8-10" of snow and "dry freezes" down here...
Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Wow!
Thanks for sharing these great snapshots, Robert.
You and Neal have obviously put a lot of time and care into your home.
Had to laugh--the telephone niche in the dining room. I think most houses built between 1920 and 1940 had one.

heating
I see the living room gets TWO radiators. Are they steam or hot water? (the engineer in me likes to know these things) Here in CA one only saw radiators like those in older office buildings and in schools

Nice Home Robert and Neal!
You two have done a great job with it! I know what fun it is! I love the birdhouse! Who made it? Someone spent a lot of time! Don't the squirrels take over? They sure would here!
Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!

You guys have done an outstanding job on making your house a home. I love how everything comes together to create your style. <p> All of that snow! Here it usually gone by the next day. Just a mushy wet mess and then turns to ice at night. Then by the 3rd day you would never know it had snowed. except for the big mess all over your car.

Robert, you & Neal have one hot house. I love it more than the old one--such style and character. And it was nice to see a familiar piece or two in the photos--my fav is that lamp on top of the little tv.
Thanks everybody for your kind words. As you can see we are not afraid of color. My mother says she needs "sunglasses" to come and visit our house.
Hi everyone, Bethann Neal had a replica of our house built into a bird house from "Birdhouse Bonanza". They have a web site out there for making custom bird houses.
Terry about the dining room light, when we moved into our house all the lights in the house were "Home Depot" modern style. So we changed everything back. The light in the dining room had hung (along with 30 others) in a Rexall drug in a rural Minnesota town. For 40 years the fixtures had be concealed by a dropped ceiling. When they tore the place down they found these beautiful 1930's fixtures under the drop ceiling and we were able to buy one.

Robert, what kind of record player is that in the corner by the sofa? I first noticed it on Decorating Cents and now that I see it again, I remembered to ask about it!

Hi Veg, that's a 1956 Zenith Cobramatic, I found it at an estate sale back in '96. At that same sale I bought a 1959 Zenith B&W Consol Television, my very first vintage tv set, as well as a 1956 Coronado Washer, which sadly I no longer have. I don't have the TV either for that matter. Did save the "Big Red" agitator from it. (the washer that is
