Bob, I was referring to the brown fridge and the avocado green wall to wall carpet. That’s awesome that you were able to create a timeless style without succumbing to any of the fads of the era (not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it’s hard to do). I have a collection of Old House Journal magazines from 1976-1981 and it cracks me up when they show some interior renovation work or decoration that’s supposed to appear original to the house. A lot of it just screams “1977” but I guess there were fewer reproductions available. And we all see things from the perspective of the current era. But I think this house has a very happy, homey vibe.
DCB, I will never change. You should be thankful for that.
A Cheever question: what about the BQE?
Induction: causing the flow of electric current. Hopefully this treatment will help DIBS.
Cheever Place is lovely, but it is a *haul* to the subway from there–nearest entrance is on the corner of President.
The parlor does look charming though! Would love a picture of the garden…
Cheever Place is the pick of the litter. A little pricey though considering it has been chopped up into three units.
Re-configuring it into a one, or two-family, would not be a big deal but it would take time and it would cost some money.
“Sounds like some stubborn owners. Either that, or they don’t need to sell”
Or BOTH, not a bad position to be in, in a down market.
LOVE that PLG house
but I beleive we have seen that one before months ago!
BHS,
I protest! MY house was decorated in the ’70s* and doesn’t look like that. The Van Buren St. house COULD have been decorated in the ’50s or ’00s by someone with somewhat stuffy taste.
*Of course our aim was to make the house look like it had been lived in by the same family since 1899, who had moved in with some furniture inherited from older houses and had made additions over the generations–we never much cared for what’s in style NOW.
