Before we moved here we had a house that was built in about 1922 and all my antiques fit it beautifully. The old house had its original windows, oak and cherrywood hardwood floors, and all the walnut woodwork. It was beautiful but too big for us. We spent years bringing it up to date in plumbing and wiring, repointing all the brick, it was brick, sealing the old basement, etc. Someone got a lovely home when we sold it. The house we have now was built mid 1960 and all one level except the basement so I don't have as many steps to climb. I got rid of quite  bit of old antiques because this house is smaller however I kept the things that have been passed down to me and some things I've bought at antique auctions. Ilike the old things better than the modern although I have a mixture of both. Before that house I  had an old house built in 1860's, it was another old house I remodeled several years ago and it was beautiful as well. Remodelling that house I found old coins from 1860's in the walls! I still have them. Too old to take on those projects anymore!LOL
