From around 1908 to the 1940s, Sears sold an estimated 70,000 kit homes in about 270 different styles, ranging from Colonial to Tudor, and even small bungalows. Prices ranged from about $600 to $6,000, which translates to be around $8,400 to $84,000 in today’s money.

I drive through a nice neighborhood on my way to the grocery store. Found this Dyson DC40 with a free sign with other household items in the yard. Brought it home and the suction was horrible. Watched a single YouTube video to remove the clogs - needs a good clean but it works perfectly! reddit.com/gallery/qtyc29

David Lammy: My ancestors were taken from their homes across the sea in boats, stripped of their rights and enslaved. Now the Department for Transport is using images of slave ships to promote our maritime sector. This kind of colonial amnesia is at the root of Britain's problems. twitter.com/DavidLammy/st…

[TOMT] [US store] [current] I was online shopping and came across a US homewares and furniture store with a captain or colonial man in the logo. I can’t remember what it was.

I think there was a person in the logo, but it may have just had a reference to colonialism. I’m not from the USA, but I remember it being a relatively well known store (one that I recognised the name of), like Bed, Bath and Beyond or Pottery Barn.

I’m not sure, maybe I’m confusing the Australian company Early Settler.

Any ideas??

These doors were likely hand-carved by my Great Great Grandfather in the early 1900's. They decorated the German colonial home he built by himself near Austin, Texas in 1898. Unfortunately, they were stolen very recently.

Hi! I own a 1928 duplex, a mishmash of Colonial, Federal, Craftsman, and Victorian style. The old speaker tubes (likely from an older home) are still in the wall. Where might I find old mouthpieces like this, so I can restore this place to her former glory?

Living room arrangement in funky and unusual "open concept" gothic, victorian-esque dutch colonial home.

We live near Cleveland, Ohio and have an old home built around 1903. I like to describe it as a very gothic, victorian-esque dutch colonial. The architect had a unique style for the time so instead of individual rooms, the living room is very large and open to hallway (separated by two pillars) which then opens to the dining room and kitchen. You can see from one side of the house to other.

I'm really struggling with our living room layout. I feel like I've tried every possible furniture arrangement and none of them work well. The problem is, the room is open and there are no walls longer than 5.5 feet that don't have a window, bench or window seat. We have a beautiful stone fireplace that we want to be the focal point, but we're a family of five and use it watch TV and it's where guests come and gather and chat, kids play, etc.

In its current configuration, we have the couch along the front wall of the house that has a large window, facing the fireplace. We have it about 4 feet from that wall, so it's not too far from the TV. But, with the end tables placed on each end, you can't easily get behind the couch. Perhaps we need to push back towards the wall and live with it.

There's not much room next to the loveseat for the end tables and a small side table would be tight.

Goals:

Make fireplace focal point.
Allow all seating to be positioned for conversation.
Allow all seating to comfortably see TV.

We used to have it setup with the couch blocking one of the arches and facing the window seat, the tv in the corner (to the left of the front window) and the loveseat positioned on the left side of the fireplace, angled towards the TV. This opened the space so the fireplace could be enjoyed, but you were always looking away from it, towards the TV. It also made for a poor conversational arrangement. It had a cozy feel, but it also blocked off the openness of the room somewhat (which is ok), but it also created a jailed in area where the TV was.

A Children’s book (series?) about a boy in colonial America traveling west with his family by train. He falls off the train and he and two young children have to trek home across the country and face hostile people, weather, along the way. Has Ashley in the title?

I read this story around 2007 maybe? I think it was potentially gold rush related too. If I think of more details I’ll add them.

Edit: okay, post colony! Sorry, more like old west.
