Cool, I'm looking forward to it! Especially on the antique liquid soap... tongue

Yes, unfortunately there are a few glaring anachronisms, such as the electric clothes iron, Cook's mechanical pencil, the modern basketball & soccer ball for dog toys, etc. I did "construct" as much period-accurate (or at least period-looking) furniture as I could, but for some things I pretty much had no choice but to use the modern option, and encourage the viewer to mentally substitute the historically-accurate replacement.

I did get a sense of satisfaction from cobbling furniture out of other furniture. For instance, each of the sinks in the scullery is made out of 2 sinks, 2 shelves, 2 paintings, and a jacuzzi. My straight candlesticks are made from 2 lamps & a candle ornament. The doggy dishes are made of a potted plant, a plate, & a swimming pool. I enjoy overcoming challenges by thinking outside the box. smile

Does anyone know why the thread is listing my "everything on the second floor" post twice? Should I delete the duplicate?
