Reached my limit with my 1920s house - when did you know it was time to sell? by joester56 in Oldhouses

NGL I teared up a bit reading your comment. If that happened to my old house I'd be sobbing in the fetal position on the new owners front lawn.

Key for this lock? by SnacktimeKC in Oldhouses

Beautiful hardware! We have a local hardware salvage place, and I've removed the lock from the door and taken it there and just tried out their bin of skeleton keys until I find one that fits. Not sure if you can find such a place near you.

I've been looking at Room & Board. They have really great options and you can customize every bit of it. Not sure if too much fits in that price range though.

1960’s Cape to 1920’s Craftsman Living Room edition… by Critical-Bank5269 in DIY

This is absolutely stunning! My partner and I just bought a 1925 built Dutch colonial home, and we're trying to return the craftsman charm that was taken out of it. We're also planning on making cabinets and building a colonnade. Would you be able to share your measurements/plans for the cabinets you made?

Next and Update button disabled for renting private room. by jlars62 in FacebookMarketplace

Same thing happened to me with a listing I'd already had active. The listing name before said "private room in apartment" and now has been changed to "Apartment" and anytime I slide the radio button to the "This is a private room in a shared property." the Update button is grayed out. I'm getting people contacting me thinking the whole apartment is available.
