"This Old House"

I have lived in the house that my mom grew up in for almost 4 years now (will be 4 years at the end of November). The house is 58 years old and needs a lot of work done to it. However, despite all its problems, I enjoy living in it because it is like a piece of family history to me (since my mom grew up in it). I live next door to my dad, where my entire family lived while I was a teenager and as a much younger young adult.


This house has several major features that I enjoy. The built-in shelves on the kitchen walls and the built-in scalloped trim hanging down from the ceiling are my favorite details in the kitchen. The built-in desk and hutch in the den is a major detail that I use extensively, as you can see in the picture. The large picture window in the living room is another one of my favorite features of this house.
