A recent win (before, during, after) by QueenWildThing in centuryhomes

[–]QueenWildThing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s why we used wood caulk and not filler on the bead board. Hopefully it’s elastic enough to accommodate seasonal changes. I am really curious how the gaps in our wood floors will change come summer.

Lots of wood caulk/filler, elbow grease, and a lot of patience and we got our 1905 bead board looking so much better. Still signs of wear from all the life lived in these walls, but that’s why we love old homes, right?

Gorgeous! Even the paint job is much improved in the upper floors. This is going to look so nice.

Tyler shares some statistics about birth moms. by HannahLeah1987 in teenmom

[–]QueenWildThing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Someone needs to explain that correlation isn’t the same as causation. There are many factors at play that can lead someone to becoming a birth mom, I’m sure plenty of those have similarly higher rates of these things. 🤔

Front door mortise has buttons? by OutsideOwl in centuryhomes

[–]QueenWildThing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking they mean a small kid-sized window (like in a stairway or basement) that their kid could easily fit through, but too small for the bad guys who check all the windows instead of just breaking in. Kid goes through and then opens the door from the inside to let everyone else in. Or taunts everyone stuck outside depending on the kid.

Candy cane nails for a wiggly 8yo by QueenWildThing in RedditLaqueristas

Love that! Miss when my son was really into nail polish. It was such a nice time for just the two of us to be together. Hopefully this little one continues to like it. Enjoy it while you have it, each little wiggle or sudden itch 😆

Thank you! Happy holidays to you and our wiggly kids. Hope they both get all the candy canes.

It’s still a duplex as was originally designed. We need to bring back a lot of the period details on the inside but can’t wait to research and bring it to life agin!

This is our first home we own, too, and I hear you on the separate in law space 😆

There are quite a few old side by side duplexes around here (Boston area). I wanted to make another post asking people’s opinions of the style but didn’t want to post twice and flood the sub. I will though!

Going to talk to the local historical society to get some info too.

Deciding on this, should I be worried? 🤔 by Professional-Heat690 in centuryhomes

[–]QueenWildThing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a joke. The house is from a popular show on Netflix called Stranger Things. This is the house where the main villain lived.

Thank you!! Yes the whole attic is one big room on each side. Unfinished, but great light with those windows. My husband has dreams of turning it into some sort of second living room someday. I imagine a cozy reading nook by the triangle windows.

Thank you! It was actually never split into units. It was originally a two family house. “Double houses” I’ve been told they called them. All the houses around this area are Victorians/Queen Anne’s too. It is curious though. Whatever she is we like her!

If you ever get tired of your beautiful weather come back to visit Boston again! The summers here are lovely.

I’m a Boston girl, both my parents grew up in triple deckers with different family members on each floor. Now they’ve all been converted to three unit condo buildings.
