My passion is old machines, sewing gadgets and kitchen items. I live in a home that was built in 1941 and my biggest issue during our remodel has been to try to keep it genuine. I have fought DH on trying to update too much. He even made my new kitchen cabinets out of the Wormy Chestnut that was inside all of my walls for it was common to just keep adding on instead of gutting and removing. I settled for sheetrock due to the UGLY paneling that they hide the chestnut under.
